History of Cefnllys

Children of the marriage

 

John James Drew b 1824

(He migrated to America where he was a farmer.)

James Drew b Nov. 1825 - the Hosier

Vincent Drew b Oct 1828

Michael Drew b Nov 1830

Sarah Beaumont Drew b May 1832. She married (no first name) Vaughn 1864.

(modern spelling is usually found as Vaughan)

Fortune Drew b. 1834 (Carmel Independent)

and ? Thomas Drew b. 1837 + William Drew b. 1838 went to USA with eldest brother John James Drew? In America by 1860.

NB - If John James Drew (and brothers?) went to America and James Drew ended up in London as 'Hosier' ... which son/who took over the farm? This lends some credence to the Drew attachment to the Smythe name in a later generation - anecdotally because Ada Drew, daughter of this James Drew, was 'the last of this particular Hosier Drew family line' (but in the light of recent discoveries, one would have to qualify this with - 'in Britain'.).
