      John Rake, Sr. has sometimes been confused with John George Rake the son of Heinrich Casper Racke. . According to an email from Helen Poland dated July 9, 2003:

       
      I have to disagree with your information on John Rake Sr. (which shows him descended from Heinrich Casper Racke). I have a court record that shows him in court in 1763/4 that would make him 11/12 years old, also John Rake Jr. was born 22 May 1768 that would make John Sr. 16 yrs old. I don't believe that John George Raike son of Heinrich Casper Racke is our John Rake.
