She was a great-granddaughter of Colonel Jacob Drake (1732-1823), of Drakesville. She grew up in her grandfather's house that later served as the parsonage for the Mount Freedom Presbyterian Church. Her husband became a wealthy Railroad President and for for nostalgia bought the house in 1875, returning it to Drake ownership. Their son sold it in 1912 to his cousin, Mrs Annie (Drake) Osborne.
