THE DRAKE FAMILY TREE AND THE LINKS TO RALEIGH, GILBERT,
KELLAWAY AND HORSEY FAMILIES



In late 1600 Sir Walter Raleigh was writing to Sir Robert Cecil regarding the imprisonment of Robert Devereux, Second Earl of Essex once a great favourite of Elizabeth I but by then in The Tower charged with Treason. In the course of this letter Sir Walter wrote "Kelloway lives that murdered the brother of Horsey; and Horsey let him go by all his lifetime." Of whom was Raleigh speaking? Which Kelloway? Which Horsey? The families are linked by marriages and friendships but no answer has been found to the identities of Kelloway and Horsey. Read More Here
