Charles Vickery Drysdale, was a Eugenicist, His type here in America labled Native Americans and their descendants as Negro, Virginia's registrar of vital statistics at the time, Walter Plecker [also a Eugenicist] changed untold numbers of Natives records. This man met with and communicated with members of the Nazi party, while serving as Commonwealth of Virginia's Registrar. This white supremacy view was not singular to Virginia, ''clubs'' sharing similar views popped up all around the USA.
I am sure Bessie Drysdale as CVDrysdale's wife shared his every view.

Drysdale House, Geelong, Australia
The circa 1891 house was built at 69 Fyans St, Newtown before it was relocated to form part of the Australian House Museum in front of Deakin University in Waurn Ponds in 1984. The historic house was then relocated to 122 High St, Drysdale in 2004 and has since been renovated and restored, transforming it into a beautiful home.
The house was built by the Herd family, who were painters, decorators and plumbers, before the 1892 depression.

Charlton Heston was born John Charles Carter in No Man's Land, Illinois, the son of Lilla (née Charlton) and Russell Whitford Carter, a mill operator. In his autobiography, Heston refers only to his father participating in his family's construction business. Heston was of English and Scottish descent and a member of the Fraser clan.
His great grandmother was Mary Drysdale, wife of James Charlton.
Mary was the daughter of Alexander Drysdale, born about 1804 and Catherine Frazier, died before 1871
