Evidence

A probate bond from 1716 signed by Mary Drape and Michael Threlkeld grants administration of the estate of John Drape, late of Whitehaven, to John’s daughter Mary Drape of Parton.

A probate bond from 1726 signed by Mary Drape and Michael Threlkeld grants administration of the estate of John Drape, late of Whitehaven, to John’s widow Mary Drape of Parton.

I am not sure whether there are two John Drapes here. Possibly Mary Drape has been misidentified in one of the bonds, or perhaps something else is going on.
