Biographical Details:

Elizabeth Drake was the daughter of Francis and Mary Walker Drake and was born about 1653 probably in Dover Township in the Province of New Hampshire.  Accordingly, she moved with her parents and siblings to New Jersey and married Hugh Dunn on December 17, 1670, in Middlesex County.  As with most woman in the colonial period, few records exist and little is known.  It is believed she died about 1711.
