DRURY, Henry (d.c.1443), of Ickworth and Wordwell and Sapiston, Suff.

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Family and Education
s. and h. of Nicholas Drury (d.1456) of Thurston and Hawstead, Suff. by Joan, da. of Thomas Hethe (d.c.1414) of Mildenhall, Suff. and his w. Elizabeth; nephew of Sir Roger Drury† of Rougham. A. Campling, Hist. Fam. Drury, 30, 37; The Commons 1386-1421, ii. 803-4; iii. 367. m. bef. 1438, Elizabeth (d.1476), da. of George Heton*, at least 1s. 1da. Campling, 38-40; S. Hervey, Dictionary of Herveys, iii. 318. While Drury’s father-in-law was probably the Lincs. man who sat for Bridport in the Parl. of 1447, his identity is not completely certain. However, it is worth noting that the Bridport MP stood surety at the Exchequer in 1451 for his putative relative John Heton* who, like Drury, was a follower of the Stafford family: HP Biogs. ed. Wedgwood and Holt, 305; CFR, xviii. 212, 236.
