Person:Elizabeth Drake (50)

Elizabeth Drake was baptised on 2nd August 1747 at Bere Ferrers in Devon, daughter of Mary Drake, formerly Fursman, and her husband John Drake. In 1773, aged 25, she married Christopher Foot. Between 1773 and 1793 they appear to have had twelve children together, although two died young. It has yet to be established when her husband Christopher died - there are plausible burials in both 1793 and 1810 in Bere Ferrers.

Elizabeth appears to have lived to the age of 92, and was buried on 11th December 1839 at Bere Ferrers.
