I don't know--the 1910 census says Berhie E 1900 census says Bertha

One doc I found when I google William C Drake said parents were Bertha Jennings

My Great grandfather is Charles L--I don't know what the L is for

My dad was Lloyd Carter Drake

Hammond Ks and Ft Scott Ks is where they were from

William and Mary had 7 children Ralph, Lloyd, Eileen, Dorthy, Joanne, Joyce and Charles
