My Dad is Bill. Well, then you probably met me because I was at that family reunion. It was interesting because I met some Colcords that I never met before but felt comfortable around them right away. They all knew Drummond. Yeah, he was great.
Do you know about the shipwreck that Drummonds father Herbert survived as a boy?
I've done a bit of research on Edward Colcord from 1631. There's an interesting article on him at http://www.masland.org Click on Documents and the article is at the top of the list.

Yep, I am. What was your Dad's name? I met both of Drummy's sons at a family reunion in Maine back in 1999. I remember one them's name was Billy. Drummond was the only one of my Dad's brother that I knew. He was a funny guy. I met Uncle Morty, AKA "Yank", once in Charleston SC when I lived there and went to meet him with my Dad. You are right, there were nine or ten of them and now all their offspring. We all are direct descendants of Edward who came to the colonies in 1631 from England. Take care.

Huh. So you're my Dad's cousin. My Dads' father was Drummond. Think of all the cousins just from our little branch of the Colcord 'tree'. Because Rupert had all those brothers and sisters. But Bertie didn't take too good care of them I hear. He was always away at sea.
I've been reading some books about sailors in the 1800's so I know how some of those sailors could behave!

Oh well, the search goes on. Whereabouts do you live? I grew up in MA but have been living in Los Angeles for the past 8 years.

I do not have any photos of my grandfather and never met him. My father, Rupert, never really said much about him.
