James' parents. I know that he and his older brother, Samuel, were in the
Rev. War together. James enlisted in 1777 from Cumberland County, PA.

Below is my information on this line. Sorry I don't go back, but some of the
other referenced researchers might give you some leads.

I am interested in James DRUMMOND [1764-1843] listed on you FTM home page. We
are fairly sure that James and Nancy GRIFFITH had a son, John, who was killed
at the battle of Tippicanoe in 1811 [per the CARR Family Bible records]. John
was married to Rebecca WORK [1792-1867] and they had a son John.
The mystery is that there were two John DRUMMOND's in Clark County at that
time. John DRUMMOND who married Sarah WORK [1814-?] OR John DRUMMOND who
married Nancy ROE. Which of these John DRUMMOND's was the son of John
DRUMMOND and Rebecca WORK.
Rebecca WORK and Sarah WORK were third cousins.

I am researching the CARR family in southern Indiana. I am especially
interested in John Drummond CARR who married Evaline Cozens. Other related
surnames include: COMBS/COOMBS, JUDKINS, MCCLEARY/MCCLARY/MCCLARA. Any help
would be appreciated.

I have notes on an Elisha Carr, born in Fayette Co, PA, with children Joseph,
John, Elijah, and Elisha. Joseph married Nancy Drummond in Clark Co, IN on 24
Feb 1818. Source: Carr Family Records, by Edson Carr. More details.
Maybe your line? Looks pretty good.
