Biography

John was a Friend (Quaker)

Although primary sources are difficult to source for John Drummond, he is frequently mentioned; mostly due to his son being a burgess in Virginia. It is widely believed he was born around 1636 in the Colony of Virginia. (Royale top states he was born in England; citations needed).

John married Patience Hill and together they had at least 10 children. A few Quaker records directly reference John Drummond as he remained in Virginia during the 1660's while many Quakers left due to the horrendous persecutions suffered during those times. (Citation needed)

He died in 1713 but I cannot help but notice that the death date in all records matches the probate death. I suspect it is earlier than the date noted but I have left it as all records I have seen use this same date.
