Eva Jane and Josiah Drake had at least seven children.

William Gideon Drake was born in June 1846 in Indiana. I believe he married a woman whose last name was Appleby. I have not been able to discover her first name. William had at least two children: William Ward Drake born about 1875 and Elizabeth M. Drake born about 1876. William Gideon Drake died after 1921.

Robert Marshal Drake was born in January 1850 and died in October 1850, both in Indiana.

Margaret Ann Drake was born in December 1860 in Franklin, Indiana. She married Sheldon Griffin in 1881 in Johnson County, Indiana. I don’t believe they had any children. She died in 1935 in Wichita, Kansas.

Luna “Lena” Estelle Drake was born on 20 February 1867 in Franklin, Indiana. She married Charles Yancy Trice in January 1891. They had three daughters, one of whom died at age 10. Luna died in 1938 in Lamar, Barton County, Missouri and she is buried in Lake Cemetery, in Lamar.
