England. The coat of arms at the head of this sketch and accompanying motto, would indicate an origin perhaps dating back to the Roman invasion of Britain.
Of the English Drakes, Sir Francis, the distinguished naviga- tor, was the most eminent. Of his descendants, two brothers, Robert and John Drake, came to America in 1630. From these two brothers descended the Drakes of America. They were members of the council of Plymouth, and came at first to Bos- ton, Mass. John finally settled at Windsor, Conn.

His widow whose maiden name was Irena Cole, survived him many years. Their children's names were as follows:

He helped to clear away the oak trees standing where the Powers block now is, and opened the first meat market. He died in Rochester in 1828. The next year the mother, whose maiden name was Joanna Johnson, with her five small boys, emigrated to Sardinia and
346
BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES.
bought a small farm with slight improvements on the Cattarau- gus creek.
By the exercise of rigid economy, industry and perseverance, with the aid of her little boys, she cleared up and paid for her land. Mr. Davis relates how his mother would stake out a daily stint of chopping and clearing for each one, and would frequently take her sewing work and sit among them to encour- age them with their work. She died in Illinois, Sept. 19, 1875, aged seventy-eight years ; her sons' names were Jerome, David, Kidder, Edwin and Clifton.
Francis Kidder Davis was born in Rochester, Oct. 22, 1822 ; came to Erie county when seven years of age, and has been a resident of the county most of the time since. His occupation has been farming and hotel-keeping.
Mr. Davis attended school at the Springville Academy forty years ago, in the old academy building, when students from a distance occupied rooms on the lower floor and cooked their own provisions, such as was not brought from home already cooked. In those days the principal, if unmarried, also lodged and occupied rooms in the academy building. At that time, money to pay tuition bills was not as easily obtained as now. Mr. Davis speaks of cutting cordwood while attending school from heaps of logs drawn up to the door, sled length, on what is now Main street, to get money to pay his tuition.
Mr. Davis was master of the first boat that left Rochester for a trip over the Genesee Valley canal. He was proprietor of the Globe hotel at Yorkshire ten years, and is now proprietor of the Forest house, a first-class hotel in Springville.
