What the bio says about her family is accurate. It is not necessary to mention that she was a descendant of Bernard Drake, but it's amusing and verifiable.
More entertaining is that she was the aunt of another Sylvia Drake, who was the the aunt... leading to a Sylvia Drake who was called by her family Sylvia Drake the Fourth. (Extending this any further could impinge on the privacy of living persons.)
Oh, and in the corresponding line of nephews there was one Bryant Stillman Drake . Guess where the Bryant came from. And if the middle name (the name, in fact, of a New England family which still exists) sounds vaguely familiar, try Stillman Drake. Which makes two Wikipedia entries in this line of ancestry and aunt-cestry, pardon the expression. Dandrake (talk) 05:42, 31 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
