    1. [MDSTMARY] Drury-Fenwick connections

    3. Dear folks,   I'm hoping someone can help answer these questions.   I have 2 letters from the Maryland Periodical Archives at Georgetown University that document correspondence between Drurys and a George Fenwick. Both are dated 1811. One is from a William Drury who seems to be negotiating to continue as overseer for a plantation in St.Mary's County. The second is from a Clement Drury requesting funds for expenses and material to complete a house on a plantation on the Patuxent River.   There was a George Fenwick who owned a plantation called Swamp Island (St. Mary's County) in 1798 but I have not been able to determine if he is the one to whom the letters were addressed.   I have assumed up to now that both these letters are to the same George Fenwick and that these two Drury men are either brothers or cousins.   So my questions are:   Can anyone positively identify this George Fenwick? Can anyone identify either of these Drury men? Can anyone confirm or disprove my assumptions?   Thanks in advance for any and all information you can provide.   Don Drury
