Notes

From 'The History of the Family of Drury In the Counties of Suffolk and Norfolk From the Conquest' by Arthur Campling, London, 1937.

"Drieu of St. Edmund's Bury in the county of Suffolk, born about 1080, from whom derive twenty five generations in direct male line to the present day.
Concerning DRIEU are entries in Domesday Book; fol. 380 records that Drieu held of William, bishop of Thetford in Oakley in Hartismere hundred 114 acres and half a carucate of land which was held in the time of King Edward by Algar, a freeman under the protection of St. Edmund's."

"it is only the fortune that the Drurys of Suffolk had so close a connection with the Monastery of St. Edmund Bury - all powerful in West Suffolk - that enabled them to deduce their descent without break through so long a period of time. This connection with the Abbey, through the de Veres, earls of Oxford.."

"Drieu - whose land next Horsecroft in the parish of Horningsheath was called by Salamon of Rochester 'the fee of Drieu,' which fee lay immediately west of Bury and extended into Westley"

From a History of Norfolk

"Drurys, who took their name from a village in Normandy, whence their ancestor came with William the Conqueror, and had no other name than that of Drury; his son, John Drury, Esq. settled at Thurston in the county of Suffolk, at which place John, his son, Henry, his grandson, and John, his great-grandson, lived many years."

"Henry Drury of Thurston, Esq. son of the last John, had two wives; by Hawise Greene of Barkway, his first wife, he had three sons, the two youngest of which, viz. Nigell was sheriff of London, and Sir Roger was parson of Bradfield in Suffolk;
John Drury, of Thurston, Esq. the eldest son and heir, married Amable, daughter of Tho. Newton, by whom he had Sir Roger Drury, parson of Beketon, and Nicholas Drury of Thurston, Esq. his eldest son and heir, who married Joan, daughter and heir of Sir Simon Saxham, of Thurston aforesaid, by whom he had three sons;
Sir Roger Drury, of Rougham in Suffolk, Knt. was his eldest son; he and his descendants bore the paternal coat, as it had hitherto been always born, without a cross tau, but with a label of three points, as the cognizance of the eldest branch;
John Drury, the third son, bore the same arms, with his proper difference; Nicholas Drury of Saxham, the second son, went to the Holy Land, at which time he added the cross tau to his arms, which he ever after bore, as did all his descendants;
he married Joan Heath of Mildenhall, by whom he had two sons, Henry Drury of Ickworth, Esq., his eldest son, and Roger Drury of Hausted in Suffolk, his second son, who had three wives;
by Amy, his first wife, he had no issue; Anne, his third wife, was daughter and coheir of William Hanningfield of Suffolk; and by Felice, daughter of William Denston of Besthorp in Norfolk, he had three sons and one daughter, viz. John, his eldest son, Will. Drury of Besthorp, his second son, from whom descended the Drurys of Besthorp, (as may be seen at large under Besthorp,)
Catharine, married to Sir Henry L'Estrange of Hunstanton, and Sir Robert Drury of Halsted, or Hausted Knt. Privy-counsellor to King Henry VII.; his third son, who married Anne, eldest daughter of Sir William Calthorp, Knt. from whom the Drurys of Ridlesworth are descended."
