Humphrey Martin Drake married Sarah Frazee June 1, 1826 in Essex County, New Jersey. One child, Jonathan, was born of this union. Sarah Frazee Drake died in 1829 at the young age of 21 yrs. She is buried in Scotch Plains, NJ. It appears that Humphrey remarried after Sarah's death as New Jersey marriage records also indicate he was married to Sarah Acken (Acker?) although a date is not given. It is believed that it is this Sarah that removed with him to Illinois prior to the 1850 census and was the mother of his children, Margaret and Eliza.

From Humphrey's last will and testament it appears that Sarah was given 1/2 of the proceeds from the sale of his estate. Apparently she moved back to New Jersey as New Jersey death records have her dying in Plainfield, New Union, NJ on June 9, 1874.

Humphrey's will mentions only two children, Jonathan and Margaret, by name. It also mentions his grandson, Joseph Watts, who was the son of Humphrey's daughter Eliza who preceded him in death. There is no mention of the Maxwell F. Drake that is attached to him below.
