  • Notes 
    • Martin was a local farmer who keep to himself and was a real New England person with a dry Sense of humor that wanted to be left alone. Once when the Captain of the Parrish Maine Volunteers came to recruit him for the Civil War, Martin didn't take kind to him. The Captain and a private was trying to talk to him and the Captain with a mouth full of tobacco accidently spit on Martins bare feet. Martin hauled back and punched the Captain sending him backwards on his backsides. The Captain jumped up but quickly realized he was out maned and never returned, nor did Martin ever enlist.
      Martin like most people lived on a farm and raised the usual cattle, poultry, and crops. He also had a shop in town and repaired boots and harness. He was quite handy. Martin was the last Drake in his line as all children were girls.

      From: A_History_of_Buckfield__Oxford_County__Maine:
      1874 On Sep. 24, Martin Drake fell out of his chair and died at the age of 82. He had been in his usual health. He was living with his daughter, Mrs. John Damon, on the farm where he was born. "He never had his peer in strenght and activity"
