Biography

Uriah Drury was born 17 Jan 1706/7 in Framingham, Middlesex, Massachusetts, child of Thomas Drury and Rachel Rice. ^[1]

He married 1 Dec 1726 Martha Eames in Framingham, Middlesex, Massachusetts.^[2]

Uriah Drury wrote his will 4 Jan 1754 in Framingham, Middlesex, Massachusetts.^[3] In it he says he is confined by a mortal distemper. His will does not mention his wife suggesting she predeceased him. He was dead by 28 Jan 1754 when his estate was probated. He was survived by son Thomas and daughters Lydia and Rachel.

He is not the Uriah Drury who died 16 Feb 1755 in Framingham, Massachusetts.^[4] The Uriah who died in 16 Feb 1755 was infant son of Thomas and Martha, so probably a young single boy or man.^[5] This is confirmed on the original here.
