Looking for information on Drury COLLIER, b. abt 1740-45? Brunswick Co VA; d. 1809 NC. Am trying to find out who he married, who his children were ( one son named Drury, possibly a daughter Sarah ; 3 other sons and one other daughter). Particularly interested in finding out if he had a daughter named Rebecca Collier, b. abt 1783 NC who married (probably in Lincoln Co NC) Reuben LOLLAR. Timeline for Drury Collier: 13 Nov 1759 - named in the will of his father William Collier in Brunswick Co VA. (note William was son of John Collier JR and Grace? LUCAS.) 28 Oct 1776 - Purchased 215 ac from John and Barnett Randle on Saw Scaffold Branch in Brunswick Co VA. 02 June 1778 - posted security for the estate of Benjamin Warren in Brunswick Co VA. (could his wife have been a Warren ? There are other Warrens who intermarried with the Colliers) Colonial America, 1607-1789 Census Index shows Drury Collier in Montgomery Co NC in 1780 1781 - witnessed the will of Christopher Christian in Montgomery Co NC. 1790 Anson Co NC, Fayette district: Collier, Drury........2-3-3-0-8 1793 - Witnessed the will of his cousin Also Collier in Northampton Co NC. 1800 Anson Co NC: Drury Collier .... 00001 / 00000 1809 Lincoln Co NC - will of Drury Collier filed. (listed in NC Wills; A Testator Index , by Mitchell, pg 103) For whatever reason, this will was never probated in Lincoln Co; could be a copy from another county because he had interests or heirs in Lincoln Co, or perhaps there wasn't enough estate left to probate if he had deeded his estate to heirs prior to his death.) In the 1810 census, Drury Collier (JR) is in Lincoln Co; he married 1817 in Lincoln Co, Rebecca SADLER. This family went to Perry Co MO. ) Any help on this would be appreciated. Thanks.
