Hi, I am a new subscriber to this list. I have had this reference filed under my Drury data for awhile and it taunted me with hints, but I could not find the connections to know how to use the hints. Then, yesterday my mother mentions - out of the blue - that she remembers her uncle Walter Drury telling her how they had Drury kin in Virginia that she'd never met! Her Drury line came from England to Anne Arundel County, MD in the mid-1700s. Then her branch came to Washington, D.C. She isn;t sure where in Virginia Walter said, but she knows that the Potomac was mentioned and she thinks there was something said about being south of Alexandria. I immediately started searching for Drury in Virginia! At the Latter Day saints site, Family Search, I found a Jerningham Drury (Drewry) in Nansemond, Virginia...I also found: 1.) Jurningham DREWRY;Spouse: Sarah HILL Marriage: 1790 Anne Arundel, Maryland;Batch number: M533511. So, I am wondering if Jerningham/Jurningham went to Nansemond, Virginia from Maryland. This would make geographic sense... I also have the original reference to Jurningham Drury: In the book- Heirs and Orphans: AA Co, Md Distributions 1788-1838 by Walter Arps, Page 15: "Mr. Charles Drury administrator of Hester Drury late of AA Co. deceased. 26 Jan 1797. Surieties: Jurningham Drury + Abel Hill. Ninths of the estate balance to: Sarah Hodge, William Drury, the two children of Elizabeth Cowley (unnamed), Margaret Pindell, Mary Simmons, Ann Brown, Charles Drury, Samuel Drury + Juningham Drury; page 18: Mr. Charles Drury executor of Mary Ann Wood late of AA Co., deceased. 22 Nov. 1803. Sureties: Cephas Childs + Juningham Drury, Ann Brown, legacy of a negro; the remainder of the balance to Margaret Pindell d/o John Pindell" There are multiple references to HILL in Anne Arundel and Nansemond.. Does anyone on this list have any info on these Hill folks or on the Drury connection to Virginia? Thanks to all!
