--- "The Family and Heirs of Sir Frances Drake" Vol. 2, 1911, page 36-7:
By his wife, Prudence Savery of Slade, who predeceased him, John Drake had four sons -- William, his heir; John and Francis, who served in the Royal Navy and died without issue; Henry, of whom we shall have more to relate hereafter -- and four daughters, viz.: Prudence*, who in her father's lifetime married John Hele, Esq., of Little Stert, where her arms, impaled with those of her husband, may still be seen carved on the granite posts of the gates which lead to that interesting old manor house; Anne, who married Thomas Williams, Esq., of Stowford; Gertrude, who became Mrs. Cunninghamd, and Jane. The two last and all the sons were minors and unmarried when their father died.
* Prudence Drake married secondly her cousin, William Savery of Slade, and thirdly Lieutenant Sassure, R.B. A mural tablet erected to her memory is in St. Andrew's Church, Plymouth.
