Research notes

This Drury is sometimes confused with a different Drury, who was born about 1772, and who lived in Rabun County, Georgia. Various researchers have the names as Drury, Drury William, Drewry, Andrew William, and some other variations. It's possible that Drury is a nickname for Andrew, but it's also possible it's a namesake for the surname Drury. It would be good to sort this out for both Drurys. Drury Wall (abt.1772-1858)
