It's unusual that he would reurn to SC after moving to GA. Even more unusual that he go to Greenville Co., SC. <<one researcher has his father as Drewery>> In the 1810 Chesterfield Co., SC, Drewry(5) b. abt. 1765 [from Arthur(4), John(3), Joseph(2), Richard(1)] is shown with son age 16-26 [1784-1794.] This agrees with what I show your Elias's age to be in 1850 GA. So Judge Massey decided, in MASSEY GENEALOGY ADDENDUM, p. 401, BY HYPOTHESIS, that Elias of GA was son of this Drewry. Not proved, but sounds resonable; Drewry did have a brother named Elias. On 27 Sep 2002, Elaine B. asked about a Frances Massey [b. 1810, SC; possibly dau. of a Drury Massey], who m. James Eubanks about 1824 and went to GA. I can't shed any light on that case. Theron.
