Rush County, IN 1830 http://ftp.us-census.org/pub/usgenweb/census/in/rush/1830/ ==================================================================== DESCENDANT'S NOTE for Parker Drummond, by a gggg-grandaughter ==================================================================== The entry for Drumm*, Parker on page 261 is most certainly Parker Drummond, b. abt 1791 in MD. He and other members of the Drummond family settled in Rush County as early as 1826 (some as late as 1840s). All lived in Moscow, Rush Co, where they had families. I'm now reconstructing the Drummonds of Moscow, Rush Co, IN, and believe they look more like this: Parker Drummond b. abt 1791 MD, m. Sarah "Sally" Townsend 14 Feb 1811 Bourbon Co, KY children include: 1. Oris Drummond b. abt 1812 KY, m. Eliza J. Cottingham 1 Nov 1849 Rush Co, IN 2. Burrell Drummond b. 1815 KY, d. 8 Jul 1893 Waldron, Shelby Co, IN m. Elizabeth b. Ireland, d. ? Rush or Shelby Co, IN dau. Katherine "Katie" Drummond, b. 1846, d. 13 Apr 1880 Shelby Co, IN son: John Hadley "Hadley" Drummond b. 1850 Rush Co, IN, d. 15 Feb 1915 Shelby Co, IN 3. Nancy G. Drummond, b. abt 1816 KY, d. 15 Apr 1846 Rush Co, IN m. Reuben H. Johnson 11 Feb 1830 Rush Co, IN children: Elma, Hadley, Oscar, Viola 4. John Townsend Drummond b. 1820 KY, d. 27 Jun 1888 Kingman Co, KS m. Catherine Conde 8 Feb 1845 Rush Co, IN, dau of Abner Conde and Permelia Yeager children: Neoma Augusta, John, Adelia, Rueben Haman, Caroline, Harriett, Elma, Oscar, Lottie, Belle 5. Sarah Jane Drummond m. John Jackson Veach 7 Mar 1847 Rush Co, IN Child: Frances b. 30 Nov 1848 Rush Co, IN and possibly: 6. Elizabeth Ann Drummond b, Sep 1818 KY, d. 18 Apr 1864 Jasper Co, IL m. Benjamin Hume 24 Apr 1840 Rush Co, IN I've been working on these families for more than 20 years (though obviously not continuously, lol), and this is the first time I've been able to piece the Rush and Shelby Counties Drummonds together. Parker's father may be Burrell Drummond b. 1750 MD, son of Stephen and Elizabeth Drummond (Stephen's will of 1773 in Worcester Co, MD mentions son Burrell and daughters Esther ("Estir"), Peggy, Rose, Nanne and Elizabeth). They are allied with the Parker, Selby and Townsend families of Accomack Co, VA and Worcester Co, MA (adjoining counties along Chincoteague Bay). The Townsend and Drummond families go way back in Worcester Co, MD and Accomack Co, VA (adjoining counties on the Chicoteague Bay), along with the Burrell, Parker and Selby families. Much more to research in Worcester Co and Accomack Co on these related families. Best regards, Eleanor Rayl (gggg-grandaughter of Parker Drummond) Indianapolis
