Henry Drummond first caught my attention on the 1850 Cass County, Georgia census (12th division, M432, roll #63, page 104). He was born in Ireland and calculating from the 1850 and 1860 censuses was born between 1794-1795.
Henry was my fifth great-grandfather. From census data, I believe that
his children were Joseph Berry, Isabella, Daniel Pinkney, George Lewis, John J.,
Jane (possibly Margaret Jane), Mary Elizabeth and William M. Drummond.
Henry and Sarah probably had more children that may not have survived to
adulthood. They would not be listed as a child if I have not seen them on a
census. My fifth
great-Melton-grandfather, David Melton, was living next door to Henry in 1850.
Henry and David's household are as follows:
NOTE FYI: Not listed below but also on page 104 in house 59 is Hiram Melton age 30, his wife and three children.
1850 12th div., Cass Co., Ga. M432, #63, p 104, house 60, lines 24-29
David Melton 68 North Carolina
Elenor 66 South Carolina
Robert 39 South Carolina
Ann 36 South Carolina
Frances Dickenson 15 Georgia
Joseph Dickenson 11 Georgia

Henry Drummonds 57 Ireland
Sarah 53 South Carolina
John 22 Alabama
Jane 16 Alabama
Mary 11 or 16 Alabama
William M. 9 Georgia
Because John, Jane, Mary and William all appear on this census with Henry,
I have concluded that they are his children. On the same page of the 1850 Cass
County census there are two more of Henry's children listed, Isabella McDaniel (or
McDonald) and George Lewis Drummond.
Their households are as follows:
1850 12th division Cass Co., Georgia M432, roll #63, page 104
(This household is next door to Henry.)
Allen McDaniel 19 SC
Isabella 28 SC

George L. Drummond 23 SC
Lucinda 15 or 17 SC
Also living nearby in 1850 Cass County is Joseph Berry
Drummond.

Joseph B. Drumond 30 SC
Casey 26 SC
David 6 GA
Henry 4 GA
Michael 1 GA
By 1860, Henry had moved to Floyd County along with John,
Mary and William. George and Isabella have also moved to Floyd County where they
live near their parents, Henry and Sarah. Also in Henry's home is a Margaret who was not listed on the 1850 census with him.
However, her age is close enough that this Margaret could be Jane from the 1850 census as she is the only child from the 1850 household not in her own household by 1860. All of the following households are in the order that they appear on the census.

While Henry and some of the family went to neighboring Floyd County, Joseph
Berry remained in Cass County. 1860 is also the first year in which I have seen Daniel
Pinkney Drummond on a census. He is living in Chattooga County. The households of
Joseph and Daniel are as follows:

Although I believe that Henry was alive until 1873, I have not been able to locate
him on any 1870 census. By doing a search on the surname Drummond at famlysearch.org under the
International Genealogical Index, batch #7616009, the names George L. Drummond, Daniel P. Drummond and Joseph V. Drummond come up with Henry listed as their father.
In the category "other events" for all three men is listed "will: 25 Jun 1873, Polk, Georgia". I believe that the "V" should actually be a "B" for Joseph's middle name and was misread by
who ever saw the original copy of this document. Henry was possibly living in someone else's household in 1870 and thus the reason for me not seeing a listing for him as the head of
a household then.
In 1861 Cass County was renamed Bartow County and Joseph is still living there. Moreover, Isabella and George have moved back to
Cass County, now called Bartow, as well. I do not find Daniel, William, Jane (possibly Margaret Jane), Mary
or John on any 1870 census. Here are the households of Joseph, Isabella and
George Drummond:
NOTE FYI: A Jane Drummond married A Charles Stokes in Cedartown, Polk County, Georgia on July 11, 1865

Because of the will date, by 1880 I believe that Henry is dead. My forth great-grandfather Joseph
Berry Drummond is now living in Cedartown, Polk County,
Georgia with my third great-grandfather, William Jasper Drummond is living in his
father's household. He was 16 year old farm hand then. By
1880, George has once again moved back to Floyd County while brothers John and Daniel turn up living in Arkansas.
Both the 1850 and 1860 census on which Henry appeared stated that he was born in Ireland. However, the 1880 census for Joseph states that his parents
were born in Georgia. For George, Daniel and John the census data states that their father was indeed born in Ireland. The only explanation I can offer
is that census data is very inconsistent in both ages and places of birth for almost everyone.
All five men's households are listed below:

Going back in time now I wanted to find Henry on earlier censuses. Since my forth great-grandfather Joseph
Berry Drummond was born in South Carolina around the 1820s, that is where I started and indeed I did find a Henry Drummond listed on the 1820 Pendleton Dist.,
South Carolina census. Moreover, through a family source I had learned that David Melton was Cassie Elenor Melton's father. He too is on the 1820 Pendleton Dist., South Carolina census not far from Henry. Here are their households:
1820 Pendleton Dist., South Carolina M33, roll #120, page 198
Henry Drummond
1 male 16-26 (Henry, 27)
1 female 16-26 (Sarah, 23)
1 male 0-10 (infant Joseph Berry)
1 female over 45 (?)
1820 Pendleton Dist., South Carolina M33, roll #120, page 199
David Melton
1 male 26-45 (David, 38)
1 female 26-45 (Elenor, 35)
1 female 16-26 (?)
1 male 10-16 (Michael, 10)
2 males 0-10 (Robert, 9 and ?)
2 females 0-10 (Ann, 6 and ?)
Calculating from data on the 1850 Cass County census, Henry was in Alabama from about 1828 to at least 1839. So he would then appear on an 1830 Alabama census.
There are two Henry Drummonds for Alabama in 1830; one does not match up age wise and the other does.
The one that is most probably my Henry Drummond was the one in St. Clair County. Note that all of his
children were still too young to be out on their own. Listed below is Henry's household:
1830 St. Clair Co., Alabama M19, roll #4, page 247
Henry Drummond
1 male 30-40 (Henry, 37)
1 female 30-40 (Sarah, 34)
2 males bet. 5-10 (Joseph Berry, 10; Daniel Pinkney, 6)
1 female 5-10 (Isabella, 8)
2 males under 5 (George Lewis, 4/5; John, 2)
David Melton, Joseph Berry Drummond's eventual father-in-law, was still in South Carolina in 1830. I still do not know much about the Meltons or David's family. All help will be greatly appreciated. David's household is listed below.
NOTE FYI: I did not personally obtain this information but got it from another researcher.
1830 US census Anderson Co, SC pg 187
David Melton
1 wm 40-50 (David, 48)
1 wf 40-50 (Elenor, 46)
1 wm 20-30 (Michael, 20)
1 wm 15-20 (Robert, 19)
2 wf 10-15 (Ann, 16 and ?)
1 white male 5-10 (Hiram, 10)
2 wf 5-10 (Cassie Elenor, 6 or 7 and ?)
1 wf >5 (?)
Oddly, I have yet to find Henry Drummond on any 1840 census. I have also noticed that many Melton researchers do not have an 1840 census for
David although there is a David Melton living in Carroll County, Georgia then.
