    (James1 Draper's) sons James and Jonathan were appointed administrators of his estate, Aug. 19, 1697, his widow Miriam having declined administration. Jonathan Draper, the surviving administrator, rendered his account June 9, 1718. One item is:
    "Paid a debt of keeping my Mother 3 years & 6 months £50 0 0"
    Undoubtedly, this debt was for keeping his mother after her husband's death. As he died July 13, 1697, and she survived him at least three years and six months, it is evident that she did not die in January 1697, but survived at least until January, 1700/1.
