Biography: As a biography of his son Albert puts it, "John Drake was born in New Jersey, and throughout his life was engaged in agricultural pursuits" and he was "of English descent." According to obituaries of Albert and Marcus, the family had lived in New Jersey for more than 100 years. DNA testing strongly suggests that he was a descendant of Captain Francis Drake of Piscataway.

Biography from Mayors of Buffalo

DRAKE, MARCUS M. (1835-1907), Mayor of Buffalo (1882). Great Lakes steamship captain and a reluctant, appointed mayor for only one month, Drake was born in Homer, New York, on 7 September 1835, of mixed English-German ancestry, and moved with his family to Fredonia in 1837. He attended local schools and the Fredonia Academy until 1851 when he left home to become a sailor on the Great Lakes. By 1855, he was a steamer mate, and by 1860, he had achieved the position of captain for the Erie Railroad's fleet of ferries. In 1862, he joined the Army, serving with the Seventy-second New York Volunteers through three years of Civil War combat. Drake returned to the Erie ferries in 1865, remaining with that company until 1889, when he formed his own company, the Lackawanna Transportation Company. In 1867, he married Mary A. Ludlow (d. 1880), and they had six children. Drake was a Mason and member of the Grand Army of the Republic. He also served as vice-president of the Niagara Bank.
A staunch Republican, Drake began his political career as a Buffalo alderman in 1878, serving until 1890. When Grover Cleveland (q.v.) resigned as mayor to become governor on 20 November 1882, the Council selected Drake as his successor. He did not enjoy this new responsibility and resigned a month later, on 22 December 1882. Drake's public career ended with a four-year term as commissioner of public works, 1896-99. In 1900, he took a second wife, Lillian Quest [Quast], and continued operating his steamship company, winning a reputation as a leading transportation executive on the Great Lakes. He died on 28 September 1907.

Buffalo Evening News 30 September 1907

Capt. Marcus M. Drake
More than forty years ago Capt. Drake was conspicuous among the younger business men of Buffalo for his public spirit and his faith in the future of his home city. He was then among the foremost in urging public improvements especially for the development of the port. His last public appearance was with a committee only a few weeks ago calling at the City Hall to advocate immediate action on river improvement.
Through the long stretch of years between his Civil War service and his death Capt. Drake never ceased his activities in the public interest or his private business. Few men of half his age are more vigorous or show a keener interest in business or general affairs. It was a great surprise to most of his fellow citizens when they learned that he was past his seventy-second year, and regret is the more deep that his career is cut off when he seemed to have still left in the course of nature a long term of usefulness and honor.
Capt. Drake set a good example of industry and integrity. His record of gallantry in war was undimmed to the end and he fought for a better citizenship as faithfully and unflinchingly as he fought for the flag itself in the supreme crisis of our national destiny. He moved to in 1837 at Fredonia, Chautauqua, New York.75 He lived in 1840 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.75,76 He appeared on the census of 12 Jul 1850 in the household of John Drake at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.16 He was sailor, Great Lakes Shipping between 1851 and 1855.77,78 He was promoted to Mate and served as an officer on various sailing vessels and steamers between 1855 and 1861.79 He appeared on the census of 29 Jun 1855 in the household of John Drake at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.17 He was was appointed Captain of the propeller Genesee, chief of the Erie Line between Buffalo and Erie in 1861 at Chautauqua, New York.80 He began military service on 20 Aug 1862 at Dunkirk, Chautauqua, New York.81 He purchased land from Salem Edmunds, Jr in 1864 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York. He ended military service on 2 Jun 1865.82 After the end of the Civil War, he changed the spelling of his name to Marcus.75 He was Supt. Of the Union Steamboat Co in 1869 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.80 He appeared on the census of 24 Aug 1870 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.83 He was Alderman, City of Buffalo between 1878 and 1890.79 He appeared on the census of 2 Jun 1880 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.84 He was Mayor of Buffalo on 20 Nov 1882.85 He witnessed the death of Jemima Guest on 3 May 1888 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.1,86,87 He witnessed the burial of Jemima Guest on 5 May 1888 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.50 He was Manager, Lackawanna Transportation Company in 1889 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.80,88 He was appointed a commissioner of the public works on 1 Jan 1896 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.88 He appeared on the census of 6 Jun 1900 at Ward 24, Buffalo, Erie, New York.89 He left a will on 22 Sep 1907 at Buffalo, Erie, New York.90

CAPTAIN ALBERT B. DRAKE

In the respect that is accorded by the world to men who have made their way to success through their own efforts, we find an unconscious recognition of the intrinsic worth of a character which can endure the rough discipline of life, and gain new strength from the faithful discharge of difficult duties. Among the self-made men whose histories lend interest to this volume, none stand higher in public esteem than does this well-known resident of Buffalo, New York, whose sound judgment and fine executive ability enabled him to reach at an early age the foremost rank in his chosen calling of seaman, and who, after a long and successful career as a captain, is now filling acceptably the responsible post of chief inspector for the Inland Lloyd's Vessel Register.
In Captain Drake's veins flows the blood of two maritime nations, his father, the late John Drake, being of English descent, while his mother, whose maiden name was Jemima Guest, traced her ancestry to Holland. John Drake was born in New Jersey, and throughout his life was engaged in agricultural pursuits. His death occurred in 188--. Our subject was the youngest in a family of eight children, the others being Mary A., Alexander M., Irene, Jacob G., Elizabeth N., Marcus M. and Francis W. The Captain first saw the light September 2, 1840, at Sheridan, New York, and his education was begun in the common schools of that locality. Later he attended the academy at Fredonia, N.Y. for three winters, and as he has always been fond of reading he is unusually well informed upon the topics which engage the attention of intelligent people. In 1858 he began his life as a sailor, taking a position as watchman on the propeller Olean, belonging to the Erie railroad line of steamers. With the boat he remained in that capacity two years, making trips between Dunkirk and Toledo, and was then promoted to the post of wheelsman which he held during one season and a part of another under Capt. George Blackman. His next change was a promotion to the position of second mate on the propeller Genesee Chief, of the same line, where he spent the remainder of that season, and in the following spring he shipped as second mate on the propeller Owego, running between Dunkirk and Cleveland. After two seasons with the Owego he spent a summer as mate of the New York, running between Dunkirk and Toledo, and one as mate of the Tioga, plying between Dunkirk and Cleveland, but in the following season he returned to the New York as mate, the boat being then engaged in traffic between Dunkirk, Toledo and Buffalo. In the following year (1867), at the age of twenty-six, he was appointed master of the Owego, plying between Dunkirk, Toledo, and other points on Lake Erie; but after a successful season the boat was driven ashore in the midst of the terrific snowstorm of November 29, 1867, five of the crew being lost. Our subject then left the employ of the Erie line, and shipped as second mate on the propeller Colorado, of the Commercial line, under Capt. John Brett, their route lying between Buffalo and Chicago. On June 15 of the same year he was appointed mate of the propeller Arctic, of the Pease line, under Captain Pope, and October 1 he returned to the Tioga, of the Erie line, as mate, serving the remainder of that season under Captain Thorn. During the following winter he and his brother Marcus M. purchased an interest in the City of Port Huron, a steam lumber barge, which he ran for seven years, the greater portion of the time being spent in trading between Tonawanda, Buffalo and Bay City, although for one year he ran between points in Georgian Bay and Lake Erie ports , and during another was engaged in the iron-ore trade between points on Lake Superior and Lake Erie. In the winter of 1875 a syndicate purchased the propeller Jarvis Lord and the schooner F. A. Georgia, and Captain Drake took charge of the former in the following spring. For seven years he remained with this vessel, taking her all over the Great Lakes, and after her sale by the syndicate he purchased an interest in the excursion boat Periwinkle, which had been rebuilt from the revenue cutter Commodore Perry for passenger traffic on the Niagara river and ports on lower end of Lake Erie. After five years with the Periwinkle the Captain took charge of the propeller Russia, of the Lackawanna line, plying between Buffalo and Chicago and during the following season (1889) he was master of the Lackawanna, of the same line. In the spring of 1890 he bought out the new steel propeller Brazil, belonging to the Kelderhouse syndicate, and this boat he ran for three seasons, trading all around the Lakes. In November 1892 he took out the steamer Thomas Maytham, of the same line, and during the seasons of 1893 and 1894 he remained in charge. In the spring of 1895 he bought out the steel steamer Chili, owned by M. M. Drake and others, and for two seasons he ran the vessel between various points on the lakes. Early in 1897 he went to Cleveland to take charge of the offices of Drake, Bates & Co., dealers in iron ores, and in January 1898 he was appointed chief inspector of the Inland Lloyd's Vessel Register, office located in Buffalo. He is well prepared for this position, having served as outside inspector for the company during each winter since 1887, and his efficient work in his present post is entirely satisfactory to all concerned. Naturally the Captain takes much interest in all marine matters, and he is an active member of the Ship Master's Association, of Buffalo.
Captain Drake married Miss Flora D. Bowyer, daughter of Edward Bowyer, and his wife, Hulda (Cooley), a native of Chautauqua county, N.Y. Three sons have blessed our subject's home: Albert B., Jr., Raymond R. and Archibald E.91 He appeared on the census of 12 Jul 1850 in the household of John Drake at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.16 He appeared on the census of 29 Jun 1855 in the household of John Drake at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.17 He appeared on the census of 29 Jun 1855 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.94,76 He appeared on the census of 23 Jul 1860 in the household of John Drake at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.18 He appeared on the census of 26 Jul 1870 at Tonawanda, Erie, New York.95 He appeared on the census of 5 Jun 1880 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.96 He Purchased land from F and A English, Township 6, Range 11, Lot 48 in 1881 at Sheridan, Chautauqua, New York.

Book jacket blurb for Jane DRAKE Abbott

JANE ABBOTT was born in Buffalo, New York, of a family that had long been well known there. Her great-grandfather [probably Ethan H. Ludlow--G.D.] founded a shipyard on the Niagara River at which many of the first wooden boats to sail the Great Lakes were built. Her father, Captain Marcus M. Drake, was in lake transportation, and many of her early vacations were spent on the big freight boats that traveled from Buffalo to Chicago and Duluth.
Mrs. Abbott attended school in Buffalo, and was graduated from Cornell University. Marriage to Frank A. Abbott, prominent Buffalo attorney, brought a busy home life and three children but did not deter Mrs. Abbott from writing stories and plays for young people, and books for teen-age girls. Among her recent books are: Mary Patten's Daughters; Yours for the Asking; River's Rim; Lorrie; To Have, To Keep; and The Outsiders and The Neighbors, both popular PBC selections.
Mrs. Abbott now lives in Buffalo, where in addition to her writing activities she has recently taken up painting. Many of her canvases are seascapes, perhaps because of the love of ocean and lakes inherited from the ship captains in her own family.
