Disputed Origins
https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/125689196/rachael-berry Claims this Elizabeth as a child of John 3 Drake, of Weymouth
However, The Drake Family in England and America, 1360-1895, and the Descendants of ... By Louis Stoughton Drake. Page 4. GoogleBooks does not have her listed, and also says that John Drake, of Boston was the same person as John Drake of Weymouth. (Although they weren’t, according to Torrey).

Elizabeth Drake was not the wife of William Corey. Does she exist at all?
Her Find a Grave memorial, used to source this profile, claims: Elizabeth was the daughter of John Drake (1650-1686) & Rachael Atkins Berry Drake (1654–1725). She married William Cory (1679–1719) 20 Jan 1703 in Portsmouth, RI. She was born Nov 1680 in East Greenwich, Kent, Rhode Island, to parents who lived and died in Boston, Massachusetts.
