The will mentions "my son John Drake and his now wife Ann" which suggests that he had been married before and she was his second wife.

Dear friends. I am a Drake descendant. I need your help, as much as you (hopefully) can benefit from mine. I have met Dr Selby Whittingham and I have many documents to hand. He faced similar problems and when I spoke to him a few years ago he said the best way to unravel might be to visit local records offices and churches around Crediton. Local history groups. That sort of thing. What I do have a tree he has created. I have attached it here. It is not complete. There is a John of John and Eliz. Vowler who is born 1760. Eldest son. But there is no information about lineage. It is possible he died young and childless, or it is possible, that Dr Whittingham was simply unable to research him. As I am descended from Francis&Frances, this is not my concern. Where we have mutual interest is John and Elizabeth Vowler and going backwards from there. Can anyone hlep?
