I am Vivian Drewry's nephew.Vivian lives in Harrison, Ark and she was born in 1900 not 1901.In fact, she will turn 100 on October 5, 2000.We are planning on a 100th birthday party for her.She is a retired school teacher after having taught for 40 years in various high schools in Searcy, Newton and Boone counties.Two brothers are still living:Vilus Drewry, lives in Bellefonte, Ark and Vinette Drewry who lives in Fort Myers, Fl part of the year and in Ark the rest.Virgie Hicks (Drewry) was my mother and sister of Vivian.Their father was Herman Lorenza (not Lorenzo) Drewry b.Mar 31, 1877 at Witts Springs, Ar d. Jan 31, 1949 at Everton, Ar.Herman was married to Arte Missa Ellafair (Ellie)Potter.Herman's father was James Henry Drewry b. June 20, 1849 in Smithvill, Tn d.Feb 9, 1929 at Witts Springs, AR.James Henry was married to Martha Elizabeth Dean b. Apr 12, 1850 d. Oct 9, 1935 at Witts Springs also.James Henry Drewry's father was George Washington Drewry b. July 25, 1819 d. May 1, 1897 at Witts Springs, he was married to Susan Hendricks (Susan was supposedly born in Scotland,date unknown), she died Oct 4, 1888 at Witts Springs.Susan and GW were married Oct 5, 1839/41? in Dekalb Co, Tn and came to Arkansas in 1858. Susan Hendricks' brother Tom was Vice President to Grover Cleveland.All is information was given to me by my Aunt Vivian and most of the research was done several years ago by Uncle Vinette Drewry.I have a family picture of James Henry, Martha, Herman Lorenza, Ellie, my mother Virgie and Aunt Vivian along with some of their aunts, uncles and cousins.
