Message Board Post:
William;
I read the message you posted in response to Laurie and Dale. Dale is my brother and I
doubt he's read your message yet. However, since your family was from Ireland,
I'm interested to know if you have information or have contacts with someone who has
researched other Drysdales who emigrated to the US in the early 1800s. Our
Great-great-grandfather Thomas Drysdale purchased a farm in New Albany, IN about 1830. We
dont know for sure if he came to the US from Ireland or Scotland, but we suspect
there's at least an even chance he came from Ireland. His wife Martha could have also
been from Ireland, but we don't know her maiden name or when and where they were
married. Would appreciate any info or contacts you may have.
Thannks,
-Peter
