Amos Drury	Bertha Heisserer Drury
Amos Drury was born on Nov 14, 1871 in Ste. Genevieve, MO and died on August 17, 1950. He married Bertha HEISSERER on Oct 29, 1896 in St. Augustine Catholic Church in Kelso, Missouri. This line of Drury's came to America in 1670 when a Robert Thomas William Drury of Dry Docking made the voyage with his very young son John. He first settled in what was St. Mary's County, Maryland. The Drury's were in Maryland for 100 years or 3 generations. In 1683 Robert owned 100 acres of land in St. Mary's County, MD. John would later marry Mary Ford in about 1697. John and Mary had a son (John) who married Susannah Hayden on Dec 10, 1734 in Newton, St. Mary's County, MD. Other genealogists have traced Susannah heritage back to English royalty. John and Susannah had a son William who married Mary Ann Wooton and around 1780 they moved from Maryland to Priarie Du Rocher, IL. Two Generations later John Drury and his son Clem would move to Ste. Genevieve, MO.
