Hello!
Mark G (Greene) Drummond was my great (grand) Uncle. My mother remembers him! He was not disowned (or do you have info about that?)

He served our country, and was stationed in the Philippines where he met and fell in love with a Philippino woman named Magdalena. They wed and had a daughter named Jiniaad Bernice Drummond (I have a family photo of her).

Tragically, Magdalena was killed when a US soldier saw her on foot walking with groceries and gave her a lift. The jeep flipped over and she was killed.

Mark went back to live near Drummond relatives in Coalinger California. I do not know if he died in California or Philippines. I have been trying to find out what happened to Jiniaad but have no knowledge yet.

Of interest is the fact that Mark was rounded up and captured in the Philippines and detained for months as a POW. However, he was held in a library! He told my mother that he got a lot of reading done!

I have never known a single Drummond to have had an ounce of meanness or prejudice. They were kind, smart, and have an unbelievable military history dating back to Captain Wm T Drummond (my GG grandpa) who served in the civil war, was also a POW (and made an escape!).

Let me know if you need more info. I would love to hear what you know, and if you have any family Drummond photos?

Robin
