Mary Drury married Charles Smith on 10 Oct 1814 in St. Mary's Co., MD. She died in 1817 and her husband, Charles, died in the Fall of 1817. They left only one daughter, Mary Ann Smith, who was born in Aug 1815. Mary Ann married Joseph Mills 18 Apr 1836 in Union Co., KY. Through the Union Co., KY Circuit Court files, Mary Ann (Smith) Mills is proven to be the daughter of Charles Smith, who was the son of Elias Smith. The suit was Joseph Mills & wife vs Smith, Abell, &c. Joseph and Mary Ann (Smith) Mills were suing Mary Ann's grandmother, Belinda Abell, and her uncle, Dr. Edward Smith for the inheritance due to her father from his deceased father, Elias Smith. The court records included Elias Smith's will, inventory, bill of sale, and 15 years of Charles' guardian accounts. There were depositions from family members as well. To say the least, I hit the jackpot! Mary Drury was not mentioned by name in any of the depositions, but one stated that Charles married in September or October 1814. The depositions did not give exact dates of Charles and Mary's deaths either; Charles died in the Fall of 1817 and Mary Ann's mother died just one month before. I estimate that Mary (Drury) Smith was born in the mid to late 1790s, since Charles was born in 1793. Does anyone know which Drury family this Mary Drury is from? Any help will be much appreciated!
