| Notes |
- LT. COL. DRURY STITH the 1st, was the second child of Major John STITH and wife Jane STITH.
Date of his birth unknown because the records were destroyed. He had a patent 24th April, 1703, for himself and Samuel Eale for 680 acres in Charles City Co., Va., (Patent Book 9, p. 539.) He was one of the Justices of the county in 1714 (Va. Mag. 11, 3) was High Sheriff 1719, 1724-1725 (Palmer's Calendar 1, 195-6; Va. Mag., 111; 251) and was commissioned county surveyor 1st. March, 1720 (Palmer's Cal., 1, 198.) He married probably about 1694 or earlier, SUSANNA daughter of Lancelot Bathurst of New Kent County, Virginia, son of Sir Edward Bathurst of Lechlade, Gloucestershire, England.
January Court 1741 (From Order Book of Charles City Co., Va.,): The last will and testament of Lieut. Col. Drury STITH, deceased, was presented in court by Susanna STITH and William STITH two of the executors therein named, and was proved by the oaths of the witnesses etc. Lt. Col. Drury STITH died in 1740, according to the above information. His will no longer exists; destroyed with other documents in Charles City Co., Va. It has been stated a fragment was left but the main part showing all the children was burned or mutilated.
Known children of Lt. Col. Drury STITH the 1st, & Susanna STITH:
LT. COL. DRURY STITH the 2nd , was probably born about 1695 and lived for some time in Prince George County, Va., later in Brunswick County, Virginia.
William STITH of Charles City County, Va., died 1749.
Probably Jane wife of Thomas Hardaway of Prince George County, Virginia., was another child because the name of STITH and Drury descended regularly in the family. (Hardaway Family Quarterly, XXI page 216.) [1]
