comments

From Geni member William Henry Drury:

"Hugh Drury's will (1689) is very confusing, as it is combined with the estate of his deceased son, John and that of his decased wife, Lydia. The best source that I know of for all this is The Stevens & Miller Ancestry, vol. 2, by Winifred H. Lovering-Holman, 1953, pages 53-71. Mrs. Holman was a well-known genealogist."
