Saint Mary's County the ninth day of June 1795. There came Jeremiah Ford, ______Jarboe, and Eleanor Jarboe, the three _______ ______ within the last will and testament of Philip Drury, late of Saint Mary's county, deceased, and severally made oath on the Holy _____ of Almighty God, that they did see the testator therein named, sign and seal this will and that they heard him publish, pronounce, and declare the same to be his last will and testament. That at the time of his so doing, he was, to the best of their apprehension, of sound and disposing mind and memory and understanding, and that they respectfully subscribed their names as witness to this will in the presence and at the request of the testator and in the presence of each other.
Certified by Jeremiah Jordan, Reg. Of Wills for Saint Mary's County.
Philip Drury was probably born between 1745 and 1750 since he married Ann Newton 9/6/1770 (Jesuit Missions of St Mary's county by Edwin Beitzell - p 88). His son Barnard was Baptized 6/16/1771 (Colonial Source Records Southern Maryland Catholic Families by O'Toole)
The on line 1790 census lists Philip with 2 sons over 16, 3 sons under 16, and 3 daughters. In his will he mentions he has nine children.

Dear St Mary's County Researchers,
I have received the following from a number of people who are descended from one or more of the daughters of John Drury and Susannah Hayden, but I have never seen the documentation for this data. I understand some of it is documented in "From St.Marys to the Barrens" by Timothy J. O'Rourke. The only reason I can assume it is fairly accurate is the high degree of correspondence between the various copies I have seen. If any of you can supply documentation for any of the following names I would be grateful.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.
Hope we can put some more of this together.

I went through your notes and have the following comments:
These Baptisms are from "Baptisms, St Joseph's Congregation, St Mary's County, Maryland Performed by Rev. Joseph Mosley, S.J.
From Timothy J. O'Rourke's book, "Colonial Source Records: Southern Maryland Catholic Families", page 41.
Peter Drury died 1771. His will: 3/12/1770-4/1/1771. As you state, he only named his son Michael.
I have Philip Drury, b. 1750 married Bibianna (Ann) Newton before 1771.
Leonard Drury, b. 1759 was the son of NICHOLAS and Monica Drury. I have a note that Monica is probably a Ford or Thompson. Leonard was named in his father's will. He went to KY and was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have only found two Chamberlains in St Mary's Co. records. They are sisters--Eleanor, b. 1706 and Mary, b. 1714 were living in 1768 (Brumbaugh).
James Parsons married Elizabeth DAVIS, not Elizabeth Drury. Elizabeth Davis was the dau. of Walter Davis and Sarah Barton Davis.
I have no record of Francis Drury and Monica married by 1767; nor for Jeremiah Drury; Joseph Drury.
Bennet RALEY, Jr., son of John Raley and Mary Medley married Susanna Drury, dau. of John and Ann Drury.
I have no marriage record for Jerningham Drury, Baptist Drury, or Ignatius Drury with any of the spouses listed.
This list included John Drury and Ann Jarboe married 3/21/1795. Is this the same John that died in 1797? He had a wife named Ann.
Ignatius Drury who married Mary Goldsborough--no record. Is this Ignatius Drury who died by 6/1809 who had a wife named Mary?
Francis DeSales Drury married Ann YATES, widow of James Thompson 10/15/1799. He married second, Winifred, the widow of Joseph Greenwell 11/11/1807. Francis died in 1809.

Dear Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to go over these items. Here are my references, comments, and questions:
What is your source for Philip Drury's birth? I have not seen one before.
Where did you find Leonard Drury's (b. 1759) birth recorded?
The James Parsons marriage could have been a typo. I originally copied it from O'Rourke's Colonial Source Records, but I don't have the book any more.
The birth date for Ann Drury was supposed to be 11/6/1767. It was recorded in O'Rourke and listed John Drury and Rebecca as parents.
You may possibly be correct about Ignatius Drury and Mary Goldsborough. I've been trying to connect him with an unpublished Combs pedigree I received several weeks ago. It is called "Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart. It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.
Do you have any record of a Leonard Drury Born 6/17/1759 who was a Revolutionary War Veteran from St Mary's County?
Don
Leonard Drury was named in the will of his father, Nicholas Drury 5/22/1789.
If I had a source for Philip Drury's birthdate, I failed to include it in my notes--sorry.
The James Parsons marriage was probably a typo. I have other documentation to substantiate that James Parsons married Elizabeth Davis.
I thought I had transcribed EVERYTHING from the Chronicles of St Mary's to my files; I'll go back and check.
Yes, I do see that Margaret Fresco has the marriage of Baptist Drury and Mary Norris.
I have Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury and 5 other children for John and Elizabeth Jarboe, but no Ann. Can you tell me more?
I don't have Leonard Drury's service record just a note from sources that he served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War.
Is the O'Rourke book you mentioned "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" or did he do another one?
Looks like I had more questions than answers.

Subject: [MDSTMARY-L] Beaverdam Manor
Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.

DRURY, Catherine b. 1804 to Catherine DRURY GREENWELL mar. Clement MOLOHON, bond 11-22-1824, Teste - Johnathan W. DRURY, book 1, p236,. She died 11-7-1827, aged 23 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
DRURY, BENEDICT. b. to Catherine DRURY (widow when he married), mar. Mary Ann MILES, d/o Bartholonew MILES, bond 1-27-1823, Washington CO., KY. Surety: Walter WIMSATT (Catherine's brother?). Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "B1eaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father.

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.

Philip Drury was probably born between 1745 and 1750 since he married Ann Newton 9/6/1770 (Jesuit Missions of St Mary's county by Edwin Beitzell - p 88). His son Barnard was Baptized 6/16/1771 (Colonial Source Records Southern Maryland Catholic Families by O'Toole)
The on line 1790 census lists Philip with 2 sons over 16, 3 sons under 16, and 3 daughters. In his will he mentions he has nine children.

I have received the following from a number of people who are descended from one or more of the daughters of John Drury and Susannah Hayden, but I have never seen the documentation for this data. I understand some of it is documented in "From St.Marys to the Barrens" by Timothy J. O'Rourke. The only reason I can assume it is fairly accurate is the high degree of correspondence between the various copies I have seen. If any of you can supply documentation for any of the following names I would be grateful.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.
Hope we can put some more of this together.

I went through your notes and have the following comments:
These Baptisms are from "Baptisms, St Joseph's Congregation, St Mary's County, Maryland Performed by Rev. Joseph Mosley, S.J.
From Timothy J. O'Rourke's book, "Colonial Source Records: Southern Maryland Catholic Families", page 41.
Peter Drury died 1771. His will: 3/12/1770-4/1/1771. As you state, he only named his son Michael.
I have Philip Drury, b. 1750 married Bibianna (Ann) Newton before 1771.
Leonard Drury, b. 1759 was the son of NICHOLAS and Monica Drury. I have a note that Monica is probably a Ford or Thompson. Leonard was named in his father's will. He went to KY and was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have only found two Chamberlains in St Mary's Co. records. They are sisters--Eleanor, b. 1706 and Mary, b. 1714 were living in 1768 (Brumbaugh).
James Parsons married Elizabeth DAVIS, not Elizabeth Drury. Elizabeth Davis was the dau. of Walter Davis and Sarah Barton Davis.
I have no record of Francis Drury and Monica married by 1767; nor for Jeremiah Drury; Joseph Drury.
Bennet RALEY, Jr., son of John Raley and Mary Medley married Susanna Drury, dau. of John and Ann Drury.
I have no marriage record for Jerningham Drury, Baptist Drury, or Ignatius Drury with any of the spouses listed.
This list included John Drury and Ann Jarboe married 3/21/1795. Is this the same John that died in 1797? He had a wife named Ann.
Ignatius Drury who married Mary Goldsborough--no record. Is this Ignatius Drury who died by 6/1809 who had a wife named Mary?
Francis DeSales Drury married Ann YATES, widow of James Thompson 10/15/1799. He married second, Winifred, the widow of Joseph Greenwell 11/11/1807. Francis died in 1809.

Dear Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to go over these items. Here are my references, comments, and questions:
What is your source for Philip Drury's birth? I have not seen one before.
Where did you find Leonard Drury's (b. 1759) birth recorded?
The James Parsons marriage could have been a typo. I originally copied it from O'Rourke's Colonial Source Records, but I don't have the book any more.
The birth date for Ann Drury was supposed to be 11/6/1767. It was recorded in O'Rourke and listed John Drury and Rebecca as parents.
You may possibly be correct about Ignatius Drury and Mary Goldsborough. I've been trying to connect him with an unpublished Combs pedigree I received several weeks ago. It is called "Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart. It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.
Do you have any record of a Leonard Drury Born 6/17/1759 who was a Revolutionary War Veteran from St Mary's County?
Don
Leonard Drury was named in the will of his father, Nicholas Drury 5/22/1789.
If I had a source for Philip Drury's birthdate, I failed to include it in my notes--sorry.
The James Parsons marriage was probably a typo. I have other documentation to substantiate that James Parsons married Elizabeth Davis.
I thought I had transcribed EVERYTHING from the Chronicles of St Mary's to my files; I'll go back and check.
Yes, I do see that Margaret Fresco has the marriage of Baptist Drury and Mary Norris.
I have Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury and 5 other children for John and Elizabeth Jarboe, but no Ann. Can you tell me more?
I don't have Leonard Drury's service record just a note from sources that he served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War.
Is the O'Rourke book you mentioned "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" or did he do another one?
Looks like I had more questions than answers.

Subject: [MDSTMARY-L] Beaverdam Manor
Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.

DRURY, Catherine b. 1804 to Catherine DRURY GREENWELL mar. Clement MOLOHON, bond 11-22-1824, Teste - Johnathan W. DRURY, book 1, p236,. She died 11-7-1827, aged 23 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
DRURY, BENEDICT. b. to Catherine DRURY (widow when he married), mar. Mary Ann MILES, d/o Bartholonew MILES, bond 1-27-1823, Washington CO., KY. Surety: Walter WIMSATT (Catherine's brother?). Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.
Hope we can put some more of this together.

I went through your notes and have the following comments:
These Baptisms are from "Baptisms, St Joseph's Congregation, St Mary's County, Maryland Performed by Rev. Joseph Mosley, S.J.
From Timothy J. O'Rourke's book, "Colonial Source Records: Southern Maryland Catholic Families", page 41.
Peter Drury died 1771. His will: 3/12/1770-4/1/1771. As you state, he only named his son Michael.
I have Philip Drury, b. 1750 married Bibianna (Ann) Newton before 1771.
Leonard Drury, b. 1759 was the son of NICHOLAS and Monica Drury. I have a note that Monica is probably a Ford or Thompson. Leonard was named in his father's will. He went to KY and was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have only found two Chamberlains in St Mary's Co. records. They are sisters--Eleanor, b. 1706 and Mary, b. 1714 were living in 1768 (Brumbaugh).
James Parsons married Elizabeth DAVIS, not Elizabeth Drury. Elizabeth Davis was the dau. of Walter Davis and Sarah Barton Davis.
I have no record of Francis Drury and Monica married by 1767; nor for Jeremiah Drury; Joseph Drury.
Bennet RALEY, Jr., son of John Raley and Mary Medley married Susanna Drury, dau. of John and Ann Drury.
I have no marriage record for Jerningham Drury, Baptist Drury, or Ignatius Drury with any of the spouses listed.
This list included John Drury and Ann Jarboe married 3/21/1795. Is this the same John that died in 1797? He had a wife named Ann.
Ignatius Drury who married Mary Goldsborough--no record. Is this Ignatius Drury who died by 6/1809 who had a wife named Mary?
Francis DeSales Drury married Ann YATES, widow of James Thompson 10/15/1799. He married second, Winifred, the widow of Joseph Greenwell 11/11/1807. Francis died in 1809.

Dear Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to go over these items. Here are my references, comments, and questions:
What is your source for Philip Drury's birth? I have not seen one before.
Where did you find Leonard Drury's (b. 1759) birth recorded?
The James Parsons marriage could have been a typo. I originally copied it from O'Rourke's Colonial Source Records, but I don't have the book any more.
The birth date for Ann Drury was supposed to be 11/6/1767. It was recorded in O'Rourke and listed John Drury and Rebecca as parents.
You may possibly be correct about Ignatius Drury and Mary Goldsborough. I've been trying to connect him with an unpublished Combs pedigree I received several weeks ago. It is called "Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart. It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.
Do you have any record of a Leonard Drury Born 6/17/1759 who was a Revolutionary War Veteran from St Mary's County?
Don
Leonard Drury was named in the will of his father, Nicholas Drury 5/22/1789.
If I had a source for Philip Drury's birthdate, I failed to include it in my notes--sorry.
The James Parsons marriage was probably a typo. I have other documentation to substantiate that James Parsons married Elizabeth Davis.
I thought I had transcribed EVERYTHING from the Chronicles of St Mary's to my files; I'll go back and check.
Yes, I do see that Margaret Fresco has the marriage of Baptist Drury and Mary Norris.
I have Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury and 5 other children for John and Elizabeth Jarboe, but no Ann. Can you tell me more?
I don't have Leonard Drury's service record just a note from sources that he served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War.
Is the O'Rourke book you mentioned "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" or did he do another one?
Looks like I had more questions than answers.

Subject: [MDSTMARY-L] Beaverdam Manor
Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.

Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.

The Catherine Drury, who was godparent to so many baptisms - who was she?
What about the baptisms of
Anne Drury, b. 9-7-1760
Ignatius Drury b. 12-14-1760
Mary Anne Drury b. 2-1-1761
All at St Joseph's in St Mary's

Peter Drury died 1771. His will: 3/12/1770-4/1/1771. As you state, he only named his son Michael.
I have Philip Drury, b. 1750 married Bibianna (Ann) Newton before 1771.
Leonard Drury, b. 1759 was the son of NICHOLAS and Monica Drury. I have a note that Monica is probably a Ford or Thompson. Leonard was named in his father's will. He went to KY and was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have only found two Chamberlains in St Mary's Co. records. They are sisters--Eleanor, b. 1706 and Mary, b. 1714 were living in 1768 (Brumbaugh).
James Parsons married Elizabeth DAVIS, not Elizabeth Drury. Elizabeth Davis was the dau. of Walter Davis and Sarah Barton Davis.
I have no record of Francis Drury and Monica married by 1767; nor for Jeremiah Drury; Joseph Drury.
Bennet RALEY, Jr., son of John Raley and Mary Medley married Susanna Drury, dau. of John and Ann Drury.
I have no marriage record for Jerningham Drury, Baptist Drury, or Ignatius Drury with any of the spouses listed.
This list included John Drury and Ann Jarboe married 3/21/1795. Is this the same John that died in 1797? He had a wife named Ann.
Ignatius Drury who married Mary Goldsborough--no record. Is this Ignatius Drury who died by 6/1809 who had a wife named Mary?
Francis DeSales Drury married Ann YATES, widow of James Thompson 10/15/1799. He married second, Winifred, the widow of Joseph Greenwell 11/11/1807. Francis died in 1809.

Dear Linda,
Thanks for taking the time to go over these items. Here are my references, comments, and questions:
What is your source for Philip Drury's birth? I have not seen one before.
Where did you find Leonard Drury's (b. 1759) birth recorded?
The James Parsons marriage could have been a typo. I originally copied it from O'Rourke's Colonial Source Records, but I don't have the book any more.
The birth date for Ann Drury was supposed to be 11/6/1767. It was recorded in O'Rourke and listed John Drury and Rebecca as parents.
You may possibly be correct about Ignatius Drury and Mary Goldsborough. I've been trying to connect him with an unpublished Combs pedigree I received several weeks ago. It is called "Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart. It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.
Do you have any record of a Leonard Drury Born 6/17/1759 who was a Revolutionary War Veteran from St Mary's County?
Don
Leonard Drury was named in the will of his father, Nicholas Drury 5/22/1789.
If I had a source for Philip Drury's birthdate, I failed to include it in my notes--sorry.
The James Parsons marriage was probably a typo. I have other documentation to substantiate that James Parsons married Elizabeth Davis.
I thought I had transcribed EVERYTHING from the Chronicles of St Mary's to my files; I'll go back and check.
Yes, I do see that Margaret Fresco has the marriage of Baptist Drury and Mary Norris.
I have Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury and 5 other children for John and Elizabeth Jarboe, but no Ann. Can you tell me more?
I don't have Leonard Drury's service record just a note from sources that he served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War.
Is the O'Rourke book you mentioned "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" or did he do another one?
Looks like I had more questions than answers.

Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.

DRURY, Catherine b. 1804 to Catherine DRURY GREENWELL mar. Clement MOLOHON, bond 11-22-1824, Teste - Johnathan W. DRURY, book 1, p236,. She died 11-7-1827, aged 23 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
DRURY, BENEDICT. b. to Catherine DRURY (widow when he married), mar. Mary Ann MILES, d/o Bartholonew MILES, bond 1-27-1823, Washington CO., KY. Surety: Walter WIMSATT (Catherine's brother?). Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.
Hope we can put some more of this together.

Peter Drury died 1771. His will: 3/12/1770-4/1/1771. As you state, he only named his son Michael.
I have Philip Drury, b. 1750 married Bibianna (Ann) Newton before 1771.
Leonard Drury, b. 1759 was the son of NICHOLAS and Monica Drury. I have a note that Monica is probably a Ford or Thompson. Leonard was named in his father's will. He went to KY and was a Revolutionary War soldier.
I have only found two Chamberlains in St Mary's Co. records. They are sisters--Eleanor, b. 1706 and Mary, b. 1714 were living in 1768 (Brumbaugh).

It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.
Do you have any record of a Leonard Drury Born 6/17/1759 who was a Revolutionary War Veteran from St Mary's County?
Don
Leonard Drury was named in the will of his father, Nicholas Drury 5/22/1789.
If I had a source for Philip Drury's birthdate, I failed to include it in my notes--sorry.
The James Parsons marriage was probably a typo. I have other documentation to substantiate that James Parsons married Elizabeth Davis.
I thought I had transcribed EVERYTHING from the Chronicles of St Mary's to my files; I'll go back and check.
Yes, I do see that Margaret Fresco has the marriage of Baptist Drury and Mary Norris.
I have Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury and 5 other children for John and Elizabeth Jarboe, but no Ann. Can you tell me more?
I don't have Leonard Drury's service record just a note from sources that he served in the Maryland Militia during the Revolutionary War.
Is the O'Rourke book you mentioned "Catholic Families of Southern Maryland" or did he do another one?
Looks like I had more questions than answers.

Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.

DRURY, Catherine b. 1804 to Catherine DRURY GREENWELL mar. Clement MOLOHON, bond 11-22-1824, Teste - Johnathan W. DRURY, book 1, p236,. She died 11-7-1827, aged 23 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
DRURY, BENEDICT. b. to Catherine DRURY (widow when he married), mar. Mary Ann MILES, d/o Bartholonew MILES, bond 1-27-1823, Washington CO., KY. Surety: Walter WIMSATT (Catherine's brother?). Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.

Certified by Jeremiah Jordan, Reg. Of Wills for Saint Mary's County.
Philip Drury was probably born between 1745 and 1750 since he married Ann Newton 9/6/1770 (Jesuit Missions of St Mary's county by Edwin Beitzell - p 88). His son Barnard was Baptized 6/16/1771 (Colonial Source Records Southern Maryland Catholic Families by O'Toole)
The on line 1790 census lists Philip with 2 sons over 16, 3 sons under 16, and 3 daughters. In his will he mentions he has nine children.

(1) The parentage of Robert Drury 1645-1702 is uncertain. It is listed as either Robert, Thomas, or William Drury. All were sons of Robert Drury and Mary Radcliffe.
John Drury and Susannah Hayden had at least three daughters, Frances who died sometime between 1802 and 1813 and married Joseph Tucker, Monica Drury (2/1751 - 12/18/1827) who married Nicholas Moore Jr. in 1770, and Mary Drury who married 1st Basil Knott and 2nd Charles Brewer. There also is mentioned of a son, William, but nothing is known of him that I am aware of. The family had moved to Perry County Misouri by the early 1800's.
Hope we can put some more of this together.

The James Parsons marriage could have been a typo. I originally copied it from O'Rourke's Colonial Source Records, but I don't have the book any more.
The birth date for Ann Drury was supposed to be 11/6/1767. It was recorded in O'Rourke and listed John Drury and Rebecca as parents.
You may possibly be correct about Ignatius Drury and Mary Goldsborough. I've been trying to connect him with an unpublished Combs pedigree I received several weeks ago. It is called "Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart. It states that Hilary Drury (b. 12/3/1799) came to the Cox's Creek settlement in Kentucky with his mother whose maiden name was Mary Goldsborough in 1808. He married Theresa Combs in 1825. Hilary had sisters Margaret who became a nun, Monica who married Thomas Montgomery, and Mary Polly who married Leonard Knott.
I have only the marriage date for John Drury and Ann Jarboe so I can't answer your questions. I do know that Ann was a sister to Eleanor Jarboe who married Samuel Drury.

Subject: [MDSTMARY-L] Beaverdam Manor
Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "Beaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?
The fact that John Drury s/o Robert married twice seems to be well documented but we need to pin down the dates more closely in order to establish the exact parentage of his children.
John's son Robert is listed as being his son by Rachel Payne.
Donnelly then, in the very next paragraph, confuses us by stating that Robert obtained
250 acres of "Green Hills" from his first cousin John Riley. If Riley was his first cousin then Mary would have to have been his mother since the Rileys were related to the Fords not the Drurys.
Another friend of mine tells me that the marriage record for Robert (M. 1725) was from St Ann's in Ann Arundle County. If that indeed is this Robert, then he is from a different family entirely and all the people listed as his children may be inaccurate.
Even if he is John Drury's son, he could not have been the father of the John Drury who married Susannah Hayden in 1734. That would have made his son John a nine year old bridegroom. Not very likely.
The section on Peter Drury is another I have trouble believing. We know his son Michael is probably the eldest since he is named executor of Peter's Will. We know Peter had sons Nicholas, Peter, and William from Rent Rolls listed in O'Rourke. The rest of the children are pure guesswork. How does Donnelly know there weren't other children who had sons in that generation? She assumes that because they were sponsoring Baptisms for each other they were siblings. I agree they were probably relatives, but that could mean parents, or aunts and uncles, as well as brothers or sisters. We really need to try to find out more here - especially on order of birth. According to Donnelly's placement Philip would have been 44 years old when he married Ann Newton. This isn't impossible, but it is unlikely, especially as I have found no earlier marriage for him.
The section on James Jr. is correct from his Will which I'll post shortly, but I don't understand how Donnelly determined that the Mary Chamberlain in possession of land in 1768 was the daughter and not Mary Drury Chamberlain? We need to research the Chhamberlain family to see what we can connect here. Also, where did she find Leonard s/o Michael and Monica? What was Monica's maiden name?
Finally, where do the following couples fit in? Donnelly doesn't mention them at all, but they are there with the rest of her source material. All of them are from either O'Rourke, Beitzel, or Chronicles of St Marys.
John Drury & Rebecca married by 1766 had Dau Ann (b. 11/6/1757)
Francis Drury & Monica married by 1767
James Parsons & Elizabeth Drury married 1/16/1768
Jeremiah Gatton & Elizabeth Drury married 2/14/1773
Joseph Drury & Ann Howard married 7/12/1774
Bennett Reily & Susannah Drury married 8/16/1784
Jernigham Drury & Sarah Hill married 4/14/1790
Ignatius Drury & mary Goldsborough married 3/25/1793
John Drury & Ann Jarboe married 4/21/1795
Baptist Drury & Mary Norris married 12/20/1796
Ignatius Drury & Harriet Redding married 12/5/1799
Francis S. Drury & Ann Thompson married 10/15/1799
Ignatius Drury & Mary Taney married 4/26/1800
The section has a lot of good material. The only thing I have trouble with are the generational connections. Some of you have been generous in the past. If anyone has any information which might help to resolve any of these points, it will be greatly appreciated.

Received the following information privately and thought I'd post it to the list hoping someone might be able to make a few more connections.
"Kentucky Catholic Pioneers, Vol 1, The Rolling Fork Settlement" by Gerald Thompson,
I believe Catherine and Bernard had other children besides James, Ignatius and Joseph.
Page 32, Drury, Bernard b. 1774, d. 7-26-1819, aged 45 years, g (don't know, maybe gravestone, will check next week), Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
Drury, Catherine b. 1775, mar. 2nd John GREENWELL, bond 9--18-1823, Washington Co., KY, Surety: John WISE, Book 1, p226, mother of Catherine (Drury) MOLOHON 1804-1827. Died 3-22-1838, aged 63 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co., KY
DRURY, Catherine b. 1804 to Catherine DRURY GREENWELL mar. Clement MOLOHON, bond 11-22-1824, Teste - Johnathan W. DRURY, book 1, p236,. She died 11-7-1827, aged 23 years, g Old Holy Mary's Cemetery, Calvary, Marion Co. KY.
DRURY, BENEDICT. b. to Catherine DRURY (widow when he married), mar. Mary Ann MILES, d/o Bartholonew MILES, bond 1-27-1823, Washington CO., KY. Surety: Walter WIMSATT (Catherine's brother?). Teste-John W. DRURY, Book 1, p225. Benedict and "Ann" Drury had William Ignatius DRURY, Christened 2-10-1828.
The John W. Drury above is the son of Michael Drury who married Theresa Yates, d/o of Zachariah & Ann (HAYDEN) Yates. They had Henry DRURY, b. cir 1819.
There is also a Harriet DRURY, christened 7-23-1810, born to Ignatius DRURY, no wife listed.
Two DRURY females who became nuns, no parents given.
That's all from that book. It appears that Bernard, Ignatius and Michael Drury were brothers or at least related and they all moved together to KY
This stuff is late for St Mary's County but provides good fodder for the transition from Maryland to Kentucky.

Dear Francine,
They are two different individuals. Ignatius #1, as you state, is the son (not documented that I know of) of Bernard Drury and Catherine Wimsatt who married 11/17/1796. Ignatius married Lydia O'Nan in 1830 in Union County Kentucky.
Bernard was the son of Philip Drury (1750-1795) and Bibianna "Ann" Newton. Philip and Ann were married 9/4/1770.
If you have any documentation to prove Ignatius was the son of Bernard, I know of several people, myself included, who would love to know what it is.
Ignatius #2 was married to Mary Goldsborough in St Mary's County Maryland 3/25/1793. I don't have his parents, though the most likely candidates age wise would be Ignatius Drury and Anastasia French. Their son Ignatius was born in 1773 which would have made him 20 years old at the time of the marriage. This also mmay be the Ignatius Drury whom Linda Reno mentioned who died by 1808.
"Once upon a Time" by Dorothy Brown Stewart and a short piece on the genealogy of the Coombs family in Kentucky written by Rev. Celestine Brey, Pastor of Holy Cross Church Louisville Kentucky both agree that Mary Goldsborough Drury came to Nelson County Kentucky with her children in 1808.

Ignatius Drury, bapt. 12/14/1760, son of John Drury and Ann Jarboe could also be the one who married Mary Goldsborough.

Dear Researchers,
You will have seen Mary McCauley's post asking about John Drury's children. Here are my thoughts on this and other points in "The Drury Family" in Donnelly's "B1eaverdam Manor" book.
Donnelly references a land Patent granted to Robert Drury for emigration from Virginia to Maryland. I have a descendant chart, which I posted previously, which lists brothers John (dead by 1658), Thomas, and William (b. 1604), one of whom was Robert Drury's father. It would be interesting to see if any individuals with those names can be found in the northeastern Virginia Counties in the 1600's.
I also have a reference from Chronicles of St Marys (51:300) for the marriage of William Drury and Christina Merrikin (widow of John Merrikin) by 7/4/1679. Could this be the William Drury mentioned in the descendant chart?
I would be very interested to understand how Donnelly came to the conclusion that Margaret and John were by Robert's first wife. Do any of you see support for that position in her data?

I do believe Sr. Donnelly is correct in John Tant marrying Margaret Drury. I do believe this must have been a second marriage for him. Robert Drury's transfer of property to John Tant (presumably Margaret Drury's dowery) is in 1683. John Tant administered the estate of Henry Neale, Jr (half-brother of Mary Tattershall) for his son James Tant and his wife Mary Tattershall (James must have been under 18 years of age) in 1685. Mary, the daughter of William Tattershall and his wife Ann Lewgar (she later married Henry Neale, Sr.), was probably born about 1670, as her father died in 1671. James would probably be about the same age --i.e. about 15 or 16 in 1685.
