Mary Adelaide Drake was the daughter of Stacy Barcroft Bray and Ann Elizabeth Warner. She married John Smith Drake, and gave birth to John William Drake and Marjorie H Drake before passing away at the age of 25.
Adelaide (the name that my grandfather, John William Drake -- her son -- said she was known by) was a descendant of the prominent Bray family. She is buried in this cemetery along the Delaware River where her great-grandfather Daniel Bray, an officer under General Washington, secured the boats used by Washington's forces to cross the Delaware, thus enabling the pivotal victory in the Battle of Trenton.
John Smith Drake and Adelaide had moved to Pittsburgh, PA, along with their son, John. Their daughter, Marjorie, was born in Pittsburgh. Adelaide's burial plot is adjacent to those of her parents. Her father, Stacy Barcroft Bray, helped found the Riverview Cemetery, which likely explains why she was buried in New Jersey rather than in Pittsburgh.
Gravesite Details
The grave is located very near a small structure in the cemetery that's presumably used for storage of supplies.
