Mary, the wife of Isaac Haney has been of considerable interest to family researchers. Like her husband, her birth year is given by family tradition, but death dates very a bit among researchers. She does not appear to be in any of the households in the 1828 Pelham census.
Her maiden name was mentioned in correspondences between family members in the 1900s and later in the 1960s and onward. It seems that around 1900 or so, an entity claiming to pursue a settlement against the estate of Sir Francis Drake requested proof of lineage and financial contributions to pursue litigation in England. While the effort was later revealed be a fraud, it resulted in the loss of a great number of heritage documents regarding the lineage of many families, including documents involving this Mary Drake.
Today, she is known because letters written between cousins in an earlier era that mention her; otherwise little would be known of her. There are a great number of genealogies purporting to link her to the famous Drake family of the Elizabethan age.
Rather than focus on her lineage, she is best remembered as a wife to Isaac and a mother to a family that shaped two nations. She was the hand that rocked a considerable cradle on the North American continent.
