Pedigree
chart of Thomas Drury,
c. 1610
Enlarged for
detail. Note individual coats of arms for each
name. The pedigree was researched by Thomas Drury
(1581-1616). The chart begins with "Drury, a
Norman Gentelman, came with Kinge William the
Conqueror 1066, as in Battail Abbey Roll
apperes".
Arthur Campling
writes in his 1937 book, "Thomas Drury, 4th
son of Sir Robert Drury of Rougham, with his
access to the family muniments in Elizabeth's
reign was instrumental in recording the pedigree
of his house for eleven generations, and now,
more than three centuries later, the lineal
representative, descending in the ninth degree
from Sir Robert, has been enabled by a scrutiny
of evidences public and private, inaccessible to
Thomas Drury, to bring down the pedigree to our
day to prove the line back in the male line to
the period of the Norman Conquest."
