"The DRAPER family was originally from the Netherlands. John le Drapour and his brothers, William and Henry were cloth weavers by trade. They moved to England six hundred years ago and established their weaving business in Yorkshire.
Three Hundred years later, in the late 17th century, Samuel Draper ran away from the home of his father, Thomas Draper, an English Clergyman. He became a Pirate, who sailed the "Seven Seas", eventually settling his family near Boston, Massachusetts."
