Don and list, I agree with the five children listed but postulate that there
must have been/is another daughter, married to a Drury(s), unnamed and/or
deceased who would have been the mother of the Drury grandchildren, all born
before the date of the 1750 will of William Lucas.

I came across this entry and think it may pertain to the grandchild Thomas
Drury(s) in the Lucas will, since Thomas Drury m. bef 1751 to widow Mary
would most likely be too old to be a private in the Revolution. Would
appreciate comments/corrections. Judith Burger
