Jesse Drayer

Hi....my name is Cynthia Marie Drayer and I have fond memories of my Grandpa Jesse. I was 11 when he died, but I feel like I knew him well. At the age of 12 I started conducting genealogical research on the Drayer family and eventually I accumulated a great deal of information about the Drayer's and all of the women that they married. When I met my uncles and cousins, I obtained information to form accurate charts. The father and mother that raised me were Jesse Lyndon ("Lyn") Drayer and Aline Helen (Causkey) Harrington. They had one child, Donna Aline Drayer. I was adopted at the age of 2 years in 1955. I had been born in Los Angeles, CA, but we moved up to Portland, OR, when my father got a new job selling Farberware. His brother, Herman, was Vice President and his territory was west of the Mississippi River. My father had the NW section which included Oregon, Washington, Alaska, Idaho, and part of Montana.
