He wrote a will on the 10th of January 1725/26 and proved on 6th November 1728,
thus his daughter, Elizabeth Drage, is the child refered to in his will as
being the
one with which his wife, Elizabeth Johnson, is "big with".
She was born some three months after the will was written.
In fact, another child, Joseph Drage, was born between the writing of the
Will in January 1726 and his death in 1728. This birth occurred in June 1727.
None of his children were over the age of twenty one at the time of William's
death in 1728.
He refers in his will to a will written by his father, William Drage, in
which certain legacies were given by his father to this testator's nephews and
nieces - children of his sister, Lydia Drage.
However, this will does not exist in the Cambridge will indexes.
