• Josias Janszen Drats is said to have died in 1701 at Newtown, Queens Co., Long Island, New York, but no direct evidence of this claim has been found. A Josias Drake appears in Flatlands records as late as 1719. Whether this is Josias, or his son Josias, has not been determined.⁵

• Also known as Josias Dret.⁶
• Also known as Josias Strakken (bpt. rec. of Magdalena dau. of Willem Brouwer).⁷
• Also known as Josias Dratse.⁸
• Also known as Jesaijs Draeck.⁹
• Descendants are found with the name Drake; (although there is no record in which Josias, himself, has this name).
• Also known as Josias Drets.¹⁰
• He was a member of the at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, New York, on 28 May 1679 called Josias Dret.⁶
• He witnessed the baptism of Magdalena Brouwer , daughter of Willem Brouwer and Elizabeth Simpson, on 14 September 1679 at Old First Dutch Reformed Church, Breuckelen (Brooklyn), Kings Co., Long Island, New York, (sponsors Aeltje Brouwer, Josias Strakken. (Her mother's name is given as Betje in the Brooklyn Church record, and as Elsje in the Flatbush Church record).).^11,12
• Josias Janszen Drats appeared on the assessment list of at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, on 26 September 1683 as Jesies Dregz, rated at £30, with 1 poll, and 1 horse.¹³
• He witnessed the baptism of Jacob Brouwer , son of Jacob Brouwer and Annetje Bogardus, on 30 November 1684 at Old First Dutch Reformed Church, Breuckelen (Brooklyn), Kings Co., Long Island, New York, (sponsors Jesaya Drets (Josias Dratse), Aeltje Brouwer).^8,14
• Josias Janszen Drats took the Oath of Allegiance in September 1687 at Brooklyn, Kings Co., New York, as Josias Dreths, 26 Jeare." Recorded next to Adam Brouwer.¹⁵
• He witnessed the baptism of Anna Nazareth , daughter of William Nazareth and Helena Brouwer, on 30 September 1691 at Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, New York, (sponsors Barent van Tilburg, Josias Dret, Aeltie Brouwers).¹⁶
• On 7 Jan 1694/5, Josias Drack, bought "a peec of land lying at the end of his lot paying twenty-five shilling per acor being one acor or there abouts and to pay ye monys to Edward Stevenson & Richard Betts."^17,18
• On 1 Jun 1696 Josias Drates of Newtown, in Queens County on the Island of Nassau conveyed to Richard Betts, Junr., of the same place, a lot lying in the Township of Newtown. Signed Josias Drats, in the presence of Richard Scuder (his mark) and William Gleane.¹⁹
• On 7 October 1696 Josyas Draets of Newton deeds to Jurian Nagell of Bushwick, land in Bushwick "scituate to the Normans Kill lying with one end to the meadows of Hendrick Deforrest and the other side to the meadow of Alexander Cocquivere." Signed. Witnessed by Abraham Duttoyet and Jurian Collier. Recorded 25 Jan 1697/98 by Henry ffilkin, Reg. On 29 Jan 1697/98, Jurian Nagell deeded the property to Henry Filkin of Flatbush, who on the same day, in turn, deeded the property to Alexander Cockyvere.²⁰
• Three deeds found in Kings County Deeds vol.4 describe transactions involving the same piece of property. The property, a house and garden spot situate in the town of Flatlands in Kings County, was described as "bounded on the north by the highway, south and east by the heirs of Gerrit Coerten deceased, and west by Hermanus Hoogelandt, containing two acres be it more or less." On 18 July 1717 Rutgert Waldron of New York City, and his wife Cornelia, sold the property to Josiah Drake of Oyster Bay in Queens County for £85. Next, by an indenture dated 28 Aug 1716, the same Rutger Waldron and his wife Cornelia, sold this property to John Drake of Jamaica in Queens County for £85. This deed, which pre-dates the prior deed by almost a year, was not recorded until 9 June 1720. Finally, by an indenture dated 12 April 1719, Josias Drake of Flatlands, conveyed this property to John Drake of Jamaica for the same £85. By this deed, Josias signed his name as Ijoseijas Drake. It is not certain wether the Josiah/Josias Drake mentioned in these deeds is father or son.²¹
• On 20 April 1719, Josias Drake was among twelve individuals or parties to be granted lots in the Town of Amersfoordt (Flatlands) under condition that they would not sell their lot, or any part thereof without also selling to the buyer the attached house plot, and that they also aid in maintaining a school, a school master, and a preacher or preachers. However, on 4 May 1719, Josias Drake was not included in "A showing of the allotment of the divided land in the Town of Amersfoordt." This "showing" is a list of those who received lots, the lot number, and number of acres. The "showing" numbers twenty-six individuals, none of them a Drake. It has not been determined if the Josias Drake recorded among those granted a lot, was the father or son.²²
• Hoffman notes in "Brouwer Beginnings" (TAG 24:30-31 fn.) that it has been suggested that Jannetje Dret was a relative of Josias Drats. He noted her marriage and the baptism of four children at the NYDR, and states that "judging by the sponsors at the baptisms of her children, she was a relative of Jan Doreth (Dereth), the husband of Grietie Plettenberg. The latter married as his widow, 1663 (MDC:28) Willem van der Schueren. On the other hand, a study of the sponsors for the children of Josias Dret (Drake) does not indicate any relationship with the foregoing."²³
• Josias Drats' ancestry is not known. Josias' surname appears variously as Dreths, Dregs, Dret, Dreax, Draeds, Draets, Drake. Descendants settled with the English name Drake and the mentioned variations may very well be Dutch phoenetic spelling attempts of the name Drake. Josias joined the Dutch Church on 28 May 1679. He had come to New Netherland in 1661 according to his statement when taking the oath of allegiance. He lived at Brooklyn where he was assessed on 26 Sep 1683, for 1 poll and 1 horse.
  The Drake Genealogy (Lillian Drake Avery, 1926), notes that Josias resided in Newtown, Long Island in 1692 and died there in 1701, and states, "It is believed by his descendants that he was of English descent, his grandfather perhaps having been with the Pilgrim Fathers when they took refuge in Holland and the family remaining there until nearly fifty years later. (Italics mine) There is no record unfortunately to confirm this idea, but the traditions and characteristics of his descendants preclude any but English origin." Josias and his wife Aeltje Brouwer did not follow the Dutch traditional system when naming their children, so it is possible that Josias has a non Dutch ancestry. They had no children named for Adam nor his wife (Aeltje's parents), and the eldest son is named for his father, and this is more in the tradition of English families, whereas Dutch families of the time traditionally named children for the grandparents. It should also be noted that no apparent members of Josias' own family (parents or siblings) stood as sponsor for his children, while members of Aeltje's Brouwer family did. This would indicate that Josias was probably alone with no close relations in the New York area during his adult life. There was a Drake family in Eastchester, New York, contemporanious to Josias. Joseph was a popular name with the Eastchester Drakes, and there were ties between the families of Westchester County and Kings and Queens Counties, Long Island at this time as well. However, no tie has yet been found between Josias and the Eastchester Drake families. His marriage record calls him "van Amsterdam," implying that he was born in Amsterdam. A birth in Amsterdam, however, does not imply that Josias had to be Dutch, and Lillian Drake Avery (Drake Genealogy) touches on the idea that Josias may have of English descent, but born in Holland. William J. Hoffman, in "Brouwer Beginnings," also seems to lean towards an English origin for Josias.
  Among those of Dutch ancestry in 17th century New Amsterdam/New York was a Roelof Harmenszen de Raedt, whose son Johannes was baptized in the New Amsterdam/New York Dutch Church in August 1663. No connection, even remote, occurs in the records of the time between Josias and either Roelof or Johannes de Raedt. Other than some similarity in name (depending on which of the many various phonetic spellings of Josias' name you wish to consider) there is no reason to believe that Josias is of this family. A record of marriage for Jan Dareth (to Ryckie Van Dyke) appears in the New Amsterdam Dutch Church in 1654, and then there is Jannetje Drets mentioned above. It is often a good idea, when searching for clues to the origins of an individual, to look at the earliest known records relating to that person. The earliest confirmed record for Josias is when he appears, together with Aeltie Brouwer, as sponors in Sep 1679 for Magdalena Brouwer, daughter of Aeltie's brother, Willem Brouwer. Here Josias is called Josias Strakken. In 1684, at the baptism of Josias and Altie's daughter Sara, one of the sponsors is Sara Janse Stryker. Sara Strycker's father, Jans Strycker, was a prominant man in New Amsterdam and Kings County during his lifetime. He served as Magistrate in Kings County for twenty years, and died in 1697. This is not to say that Josias was a Strycker, there is no evidence to place him in that family, but possibly in his youth, Josias had a close relationship with the Strycker family. He may have been employed by, or otherwise was in the service of Jan Strycker at an early age.^24,25
• Gerardus Drake Sr. is a possible son of Josias Janszen Drats. Gerardus Drake is first mentioned in 1727 when he is married to Elizabeth, the daughter of Henry Disbrow. This would place the likely year of his birth before 1707, probably in the decade of 1697-1707, well within the time frame in which Josias Drats could be considered his father. The argument in favor of this placement centers around the unusual name, Gerardus. Josias Drats' son Cornelis is likely to have had a son named Gerardus. The only other Gerardus known at the time was Col./Dr. Gerardus Beekman, who owned property adjoing Adam Brouwer's mill property. Gerardus Beekman later sold this property to Josias' brother-in-laws, Nicholas and Abraham Brouwer. As all children of this time were named for someone (usually family, but at times for friends) it is conceivable that Gerardus Drake was named for Gerardus Beekman. Another argument in favor of this placement would be location. Mamaroneck, were Gerardus is first found, was settled by families previously found in Queens County, Long Island (where as Eastchester was settled by families from Fairfield, Connecticut). Josias Drats, his son John Drake, and a Josias Drake (either father or son) are all found in Queens County prior to 1727 (specifically in Newtown, Jamaica, and Oyster Bay). No stronger evvidence has yet been found, and for now the idea that Gerardus is a son of Josias Janszen Drats can only remain a possibility.
• Josias Janszen Drats and Josias Dredge, may be one and the same. The Josias Dredge, who's baptism record is found in the English Presbyterian Church at Amsterdam, has the same given name, and would be the same age that has been approximated for Josias Janszen Drats. In addition, the given name of the father's match (John and Jan) and the Josias baptized in 1653 has a sister named Sarah, while Josias Drats named his eldest daughter, Sarah. This is pure speculation at this point in time (Feb. 2009) but it is also the only possible lead that has thus far been uncovered for the origins of Josias Janszen Drats.
• Primary records regarding Josias Janszen Drats are few and are limited to his marriage record (source of his place of birth and estimate for his birth date), the baptism records of seven children between 1682 and 1701, three deeds (1694-1696), his appearance on an assessment roll at Brooklyn in 1683 and his taking the oath of allegiance at Brooklyn in 1687. No records post 1701 have been verified as pertaining to Josias Drats.

Joseph Driggs¹

• Joseph Driggs was probably born between 1680 and 1690 in Europe.
• He married first at Middletown, Middlesex Co., Connecticut, on 13 September 1716 Elizabeth Martin, daughter of John Martin and Elizabeth.²
• Joseph Driggs married second after 1724 Martha Holland.
• Joseph Driggs died before 15 November 1748 at East Haddam, Middlesex Co., Connecticut.
• He was buried at Congregational Church Cemetery, Millington, Connecticut.³

• The sketch of Joseph Driggs found in New England Families Genealogical and Memorial state that Joseph Driggs was the immigrant ancestor to America. That he was "born in 1686 in England, died November 1748 at East Haddam, Connecticut. He came to America in 1712 and first settled at Saybrook, Connecticut; from there he removed to Middletown, and in 1746 to East Haddam."⁴
• Joseph Driggs resided at "Horses Delight", East Haddam, Connecticut.⁵
• On 7 June 1725, Joseph Driggs, in right of his wife Elizabeth, deceased, as she was administrator on the estate of Joseph Bourne, late of Middletown, exhibited an account of administration on said estate amounting to the sum of £30-13-01 due to him from said estate more than the moveable part of said estate amounts to, which account is by this Court accepted.⁶
• His will was dated on 31 October 1748 proved 15 Nov 1748, called "Joseph Driggs of East Haddam in the County of Hartford, Colony of Connecticut in New England," names wife Martha, son Joseph Driggs, son Daniel Driggs. Names as executors, his wife Martha and son Daniel.⁷
• The previously supposed ancestry of Joseph Driggs:According to the family tradition, as laid out by Howard R. Driggs in 1959 (Driggs Family History, pp.25-26) and repeated, but with some caution in Driggs Family History Vol. 2 (1971) a young Joseph (probably in his late teens) found himself shipwrecked "in the storm-tossed waters of Long Island Sound." The family tradition claims that the shipwreck occurred somewhere near the mouth of the Connecticut River and that Joseph was found on a "Saybrook sandbar, among the wreckage, lashed to a mast. He spoke little English and when he gave his name it sounded like Driggs." Apparently, he never returned to his Long Island home. No reason is known for his being on the ship, and the ship itself is not identified, however, it is theorized that he may have been pressed into service by the British. The family history supposes that Joseph Driggs was the Joseph De Raet who in 1702 was among those to sign a petition to New York Governor, Lord Cornbury, and that is was this act that either prompted the impressment of Joseph into the service of the British, or prompted Joseph to flee Long Island for safety in Connecticut, as a number of men, in the words of Gov. Cornbury, were said to have done. However, no proof is given to demonstrate that Joseph De Raet and Joseph Driggs are in fact one and the same. An early Driggs Family researcher, Col. Laurence L. Driggs (1876-1945) stated that, "Diligent search of records in Holland, England, France, Portugal and Spain" has "failed to disclose any person of the exact name Driggs who is not a descendant of this Joseph Driggs of Middletown, Connecticut" (Driggs Fam. Hist. v.1, p.28). However, the 1898 obituary of Shadrach Ford Driggs (Salt Lake City) claims that Joseph Driggs left Sheffield, England on 4 Feb 1703, with two children aboard the Liverpool, destination Boston. This account would obviously contradict the claim that Joseph Driggs is a son of Josias Drats. Thee first verifiable, recorded appearance of Joseph Driggs, progenitor of the Driggs Family in America, occurs in Connecticut when the name of Joseph Driggs is listed the Company of Connecticut Troops returning in 1709 from Woods Hole near Lake George, from an expedition against Canada. Also in the company were Daniel Martin and Joseph Boarn, both of Middletown, Connecticut, to men who Joseph Driggs would soon be associated with (citing Willy's Papers, Conn. Hist. Soc. 21/363). In 1715 Joseph Dreegs was a freeman at Middletown, Connecticut, possessing land valued at 24 pounds. Freemanship in Connecticut at this time implies that he was a member of the local Congregational Church. Descendants have carried on with the surname Driggs.^8,9,10
• Joseph Driggs is NOT Josias Drake as proved by recent DNA testing of direct descendants of both Josias Janszen Drats and Joseph Driggs. According to published accounts of the descendants of Joseph Driggs, of Middletown and East Haddam, Connecticut (Driggs Family History, two volumes, 1959, and 1971) who contend that the Driggs family progenitor, Joseph Driggs was born Josias Drats/Drake, Jr., son of Josias "de Raet" and Aeltje Brouwer. This idea, however, has now been disproved. DNA test results (Dec. 2008) of a confirmed direct descendant of Joseph Driggs have been compared to the previously acquired DNA test results of a number of different descendants of Josias Janszen Drats. It is clear that any common ancestor, shared between the Driggs and Drats/Drake families, would have lived thousands of years ago. It is very clear, that a common ancestor could NOT have lived within the past eight to ten generations or within the past 300 years (see footnote).^11,12
• In October 2010 Research by Richard W. Davis, as well as the DNA test results of a descendant, strongly suggest that Joseph Driggs was of Portugese origins. His original name was likely Jose Rodriguez, with "Driggs" being an adaptation of (Ro)DRIQUEZ.¹³

• An obituary was published in the Deseret Weekly (5 Nov 1898) for Shadrach Ford Driggs, written by his eldest son Benjamin W. Driggs. In contrast with the Driggs Family traditions, the obituary states that Shadrach's ancestor, Joseph Driggs, came to Boston in 1703 from Sheffield, England, and that he (Joseph) was a son of George Driggs, formerly of London. The family tradition claims that Joseph Driggs was born Josias Drats/Drake, Jr., a son of Josias Janszen Drats and Aeltje Brouwer of Kings Co., Long Island, New York.³
