Drake, the treasurer and superintendent of the Drake & Sanborn Shoe Company, of Pittsfield, was born here, September 16, 1851, in the house he now occupies on Main Street, son of James and Betsey (Seavey) Drake. His genealogy is traced to Robert Drake, born in the County of Devon, England, in 1580, who came to New England with a family before 1643. Robert was one of the grantees and first settlers of Exeter. He removed in 1651 to Hampton, "where he owned and left considerable estate." Much respected throughout his life, his death on January 14, 1668, was mourned as a loss to the community. Abraham Drake, son of Robert, was born in England in 1621. His son, Abraham Drake (second), by his wife, Jane, was born December 29, 1654. This Abraham married Sarah Hobbs, and died May 20, 1714. Abraham Drake (third), son of Abraham (second), born in December, 1688, died April 13, 1767. He married Theodate Roby, whose son, Simon, born October 4, 1730, married Judith Perkins, and died March 16, 1801. Nathaniel S. Drake began his education in the common schools, and completed his studies at the Pittsfield Academy. For two years after leaving school, he was in the clothing business in this town. Afterward he was connected with the United States and Canada Express and the American Express Company in this town, spending a short time in their offices in Concord, N.H., and Boston, Mass. Later he entered the employ of the Lancaster Shoe Company, with which he remained about twelve years, serving for the last six years in the capacity of superintendent of the factory and its branches. He was the founder of the Hill & Drake Shoe Company, which commenced business on January 1, 1893, and which is now known as the Drake & Sanborn Shoe Company. In this connection it is interesting to note that, although Pittsfield has the reputation of being a manufacturing town, the Drake & Sanborn Shoe Company, now employing over fifty people, is the first enterprise conducted upon home capital and giving employment to more than a dozen men that has ever existed in the town, all the other manufacturing enterprises being and having been owned and operated by outside capital. As treasurer and superintendent of the company, which manufactures misses' and children's medium-priced goods, Mr. Drake is rapidly bringing it to the front; and it is now well advanced upon the road to prosperity. On March 17, 1873, Mr. Drake was united in marriage with Miss Mary A. R. Green, who was born July 3, 1857, daughter of Daniel and Elizabeth F. (Chase) Green, of Pittsfield. Mrs. Drake is the mother of two children; James Frank, born September 1, 1880; and Agnes, born April 2, 1883. In politics Mr. Drake is a Democrat. He has served Pittsfield. Mrs. Drake, who is a member of the Episcopal church, shares her husband's popularity, and is a lady of pleasing manners and true womanly grace.
