When I started researching my family I assumed anyone with the surname DAKE
must be related to my family but I soon learned that was not necessarily the
case. To date I have found at least three distinct unrelated lines and many
individuals bearing the DAKE surname have not been associated with any of
these three lines as yet and represent the potential for more unrelated lines
to exist.
I have organized the data into groups named for the U.S. origin of the oldest
known ancestor. My line originated in Virginia with John Dake Sr. in the 1700's, thus
is named the "Virginia Line". Another line originated in Rhode Island with George and
Richard Deake in the early 1700's and is thus named the "Rhode Island Line". The third
line is believed to have originated in South Carolina in the 1700's and is thus named
the "South Carolina Line".... The Rest of the Story
These documents represent the data I have collected and organized to date and is a
"Work in Progress" subject to change as time permits and more data are organized and
added.
