    In re: Hugh Drysdale Lt. Governor of Virginia ,

    I  had read somewhere Hugh's daughter Ann Married into the Herndon family . I highly  doubt this to be a manufactured account of a phantom Ann Drysdale , still undocumentable .   

    Transcription:"The Herndon Family of Virginia" Volume One: The First
    Three Generations by John Goodwin Herndon Ph. D. Fellow America...

    Ann Drysdale listed on pages  2,9 & 29 

    The will of Hugh Drysdale in the form I found it in in the Library of Virginia , scroll down ,  it seems to be a condensation without much content .Perhaps the will itself went to Hester Drysdale and in a UK museum papers collections .

    The Herndon Family
    Compiled by Cinita Davis Brown
    The ‘Herndon Cemetery Inscriptions" compiled by J. Vernie Hicks and published in the summer issue of the W. R. V. H. S. Journal inspired me to try and put together a bit of the Herndon family history. This cemetery is located near Wasola in Ozark County. The S.C. (Stephen) Herndon who deeded the land for the cemetery to the public was my great grandfather. It is my understanding that Stephen’s first wife, Phoebe C. Herndon (22 October 1821-14 August 1862), was the first person to be buried in the Herndon Cemetery. My grandmother, Rebecca Herndon Davis (26 September 1860-23 January 1927) was the baby in a family of eight children when her mother died. Now for a closer look at this Stephen C. Herndon, his ancestors and descendents.
    George Herndon, born 1795 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, moved his family to Ozark County in 1850 and settled near Piland’s Store. The same year he made application for "bounty land" in that county. Stephen C. was the third son of this George. This 1850 date would indicate that the Herndon Family was among the early settlers of Ozark County. A backward look also indicates that the Herndon Family was among the early settlers in America.
    William Herndon (1706-1783), third son of Edward Herndon and Mary Wailer, married Ann Drysdale, daughter of Col. Hugh Drysdale, who was Lieut. Gov. of Virginia from 1722-1726. They were the parents of eight children. The fifth son was Joseph ........ see above link for the rest
