Are we absolutely sure Drake didn't procreate, even illicitly?

Also, from Tudor times = lots of opportunities for babies born outside wedlock or to the 'wrong' father/mother [GG]. and even if the lines are provable all the way back, and you are related...you'd be about 20th cousins or something.

BTW, everyone with blue eyes = related to each other, no matter how distantly. Common ancestor 60,000 odd years ago. Genetic hiccup which stuck [increased fertility!].

pretty sure. married twice, no kids. at least not that would come with an 'official' surname. my family *know* it's his brother we're descended from.

hence why I was 'distantly! doesn't count! LALALALA' when he made the comment.

I always find Civil War history a little cavalier.
