Mary "Polly" REYNOLDS

(22 Jun 1784 - 31 Dec 1870)



Mary married John Drury on 15 Aug 1810 in Fairfield Co Ohio. He was born 30 Jan 1787 in PA and died 22 Jul 1850 in Mercer Co, Illinois.
DAR Application #687383, Margaret Mary Hofling Linehan, who is descended from Mary & John Drury. The application states that Mary was probably born Boone Co KY rather than in Pennsylvania. Her family moved around several times following the Revolution as evidenced by her father's pension application and they did live for a period of about 10 years in Kentucky. I suspect, however, that they were still in Pennsylvania at the time of Mary's birth.
