Download Adobe Acrobat File - 42. John Drysdale - (The file has the following text plus images.)

 

John Drysdale probably was born before 1793, in ?.(1) 

 

His parents 

John Drysdale and Martha McGlaughlin. 

 

 

Census records and other material obtained from limited research into the matter indicate the possibility that a James, John, and Mary "Polly" Drysdale might be brothers and sisters.(3) 

 

A John Drysdale and James Drysdale witnessed a will on March 29, 1816, for Henry Boyals of Campbell County, Kentucky, wife's name was Martha.(4)

 

The 1830 census records for John Drysdale and his presumed brother, James Drysdale, indicate that only John Drysdale had any children living with him and his wife, Martha McLaughlin, in 1830.(5) It seems probable therefore that Julia Ann Drysdale was a daughter of John Drysdale and his wife Martha McLaughlin.

 

Additional information on the Drysdales indicate that a Rachael Ann Drysdale, born Sept. 29, 1820, in Campbell County, Kentucky, probably was a sister or cousin to Julia Ann Drysdale. Rachael married Sandford David Turner in Rushville, Indiana, on February 15, 1838.(6) 

 

Two Internet surname forums indicated a connection between a Collins and a Drysdale. One source indicated a Martha Drysdale married James Collins on January 14, 1850, while a second source indicated a Huey Drysdale, who was born in Kentucky and who moved to Indiana, married a Mandy J. Collins. Both sources appeared to make a connection to the Drysdale ancestors of Julia Ann Drysdale and possibly identify two other cousins or siblings of Julia Ann Drysdale. However, no marriage records for either couple have been found in Indiana or Kentucky.(7)

 

Undocumented information received by Curtis Older indicated, "I, too, am looking for Drysdales in Rush Co. I have 3 Drysdale sisters who married in Rush Co. Rachel married Sanford Turner-15 Feb 1838, Julia married John Worth-5 June 1837, and Martha married James Collins-14 Jan 1850. They were the daughters of John & Martha McGlaughlin Drysdale, who were married 15 Feb 1809 in Montgomery Co, KY."(8)

 

Census and other information obtained on a William Drysdale indicates that he probably was a brother or cousin of Julia Ann Drysdale. William Drysdale was born in Kentucky, August 28, 1815, and died April 7, 1898, age 82 years, 8 months. He was buried at the Morris Cemetery located 3 miles north of Adrian, Missouri.(9) 

 

William Drysdale married Elizabeth Earnest March 23, 1837, in Rush County, Indiana.(XY) (Indiana State Library Genealogy Database: Marriages through 1850, Last Name: DAYSDAL, First Name: WILLIAM, Spouse- Last Name: EARNEST, Spouse- First Name: ELIZABETH, County: Rush, Date: 3-23-1837.)

 

 

Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry F. Earnest and Hannah Bitner. She was born in Sevier County, Tennessee, on June 10, 1820. She died November 11, 1879, in Bates County, Missouri, at age 58.(10)William Drysdale indicated in the 1880 U. S. Census for Missouri that his father's birthplace was Virginia and that his mother's birthplace was Kentucky.

 

William Drysdale and family lived next to John Worth according to the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census, and John Drysdale and family lived very close to John Worth as well.(12) 

 

Additional research and data is needed to determine conclusive answers as to the identity of the ancestors and brothers and sisters of Julia Ann Drysdale.

 

There is evidence the parents of Julia Ann Drysdale were John Drysdale and Martha McLaughlin. 

 

The 1850 census records a Martha Drysdale living with a Susannah Underwood and Robert Underwood in Daviess County, Indiana.(21) Susannah Underwood probably was a daughter of Martha (McLaughlin) Drysdale and John Drysdale. A Susannah Drasdale married Robert Underwood on February 10, 1849, in Daviess County, Indiana.(22) The John Drysdale household living in Daviess County, Indiana, near to John Worth in 1840 certainly appear to have been John Drysdale and the former Martha McLauglin who married in Kentucky in 1809. Susannah (Drasdale) Underwood appears to have been another sister of Julia Ann Drysdale. The preceding discussion certainly indicates the mother of Julia Ann Drysdale was named Martha, not Mary.

 

A Campbell County, Kentucky, marriage record was found for an Allen Hiatt and Polly Drysdale. The marriage date was May 3, 1817.(24) Also found was a genealogy listing that gave the name of the spouse of Allen Hiatt as Mary "Polly" Drysdale.

 

The 1840 Indiana census for Davies County lists Allen Hyatt as living near to John Drysdale as well as near Sandford Turner, William Drysdale, Seth Worth, David German, and John Worth.(28) 

 

As previously indicated, John Worth and Julia Ann (Drysdale) Worth and their children lived in Daviess County, Indiana, in 1840, as did a number of individuals related to them.(31) Sanford Turner, husband of Rachel Drysdale, appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census.(32) David German, a brother-in-law of John Worth, lived next to Sanford Turner in 1840.(33) Mary Polly Drysdale and her husband, Allen Hyatt, lived in Davies County in 1840.(34). John Drysdale appears in the 1840 Daviess County, Indiana, census as living very near Allen Hyatt.(35) William Drysdale, probably a brother of Julia Ann Drysdale, lived next to John Worth in 1840.(36)

Wife of JOHN WORTH DIED April 10 1856 Aged 40 Yrs 2 mo & 13 ds." This inscription was barely visable when photographed on August 26, 2000, by Curtis L. Older. The cemetery was vandalized sometime before the picture by Curtis L. Older was taken of the tombstone. However, the inscription was confirmed by John German of Wanamaker, Indiana, who visited the cemetery in the 1960s and wrote down the inscription at that time, which was before the cemetery was vandalized and the tombstone broken.

15. The English ancestry of the Worth family is presented in A Genealogical History of the Clark and Worth Families by Carol Clark Johnson. A caveat on the latter source is its sporadic documentation and its reliance upon heralds' visitations. An unpublished, but important source of Worth family information is the William C. Folger records of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts families in possession of the Nantucket Historical Association. Consisting of three large handwritten ledgers, the Folger collection is criticized for its inaccuracies and total lack of documentation, however, the very age of this effort, which began before the Civil War, gives it its own value as evidence.
