Mr. Timothy Drake was a well-known citizen of Hartford. He became deeply interested in his family like most New Englanders from the parent stock, he was proud, and sensitive to blood and kindred. His profession of civil engineer and land surveyor exercised in Hartford and the surrounding country, the searching of deeds, boundaries, wills, inventories and distributions, all led him in his business to a cognizance of many family relationships, and considerable local history. This fostered a natural bent and early he began to set down in his surveyor's note book or on any handy bit of paper the names that interested him. On retiring from active life, he began to arrange these notes especially of the Drake name.
He died leaving no immediate heirs. He left a sum of money to carry on his genealogy research and publish a book on the Drakes. After his death, his executors carried out his wishes and completed his research.
