Old Drue Photo - Illinois

RandallMcDaniel44 — 2007-08-13 22:08:53Z

I recently purchased a bunch of old photos. One of the photos shows four family members, and is written on the reverse "Grandpa Hamilton, Aunt Drue, Eula Hamilton, and Iny Hamilton". This early 1900s photo was taken at the Camp Photo Studio in Flora Illinois. Maybe someone will recogize their ancestors.

Attached is a copy of the photo. If these are your ancestors, please contact me.

"Bomazeen was my Master; his wife my Mistriss, untill Bomazeen was taken at pemaquid; after that I belonged to his wife, untill about two months before I was brought down to pemaquid; for then the Indian Minister, called Prince Waxaway, bought me, when I was brought to great weakness and extremity by their bad usage, and showed me great kindhess; by whose means, under God, my life was preserved. My mistriss was very cruel to me and I was cruelly whipt seaven times and they intended so to proceed, once a week, untill they had killed me; but that the Indian Minister had compassion on me and rescued me. That Indian Minister also bought three captives more, and freed them from their hard usage. Their names are Nicholas Frost, Sarah Braggonton and Thomsand Drue."

The rest of the story is on the website listed below.

I have a relatives who lived in Ohio around 1830.They had a daughter who was born in 1834 her name was Mary Drew, she lived in Washinton with her husband James Boyd. On her death certificate her last name was spelled Drue. Part of the family lived in Iowa for a time. I do not have a lot of info. about my family yet but I'm looking in for the rest of her siblings.

Looking for information on Samuel, Silas, Cora and Paul Drue

Samuel Drue was my great grandfather. Looking for information on his father Richard Drue. Fairly sure he left Hickory Grove/Lebanon/Smyrna Tenn area in 1890's. Some of family goes by the last name Drew. Also believe some of family went to Cincinatti, Ohio.
