Subject: Lewis Droddy descendant

Hi, I was doing some research on my mother's side of the family (daughter of Thelma Arline Droddy) and came across your site.  My grandmother, Thelma Droddy, was the daughter of Emma Claire and Lewis Droddy (son of Ota Franklin Droddy).  I noticed some of the pictures of other Droddy men look a lot like pictures of my great-grandfather.  If you're interested, I can post some of the photos I have of him.  I remember him as a little guy who always teased my own father (who was a much larger man) calling him "Runt."  Thanks so much for putting all of that information together.  Debbie

Thanks so much for your quick reply.  Below is some of the information regarding my family beginning with Lewis Droddy:
 
26.01--Lewis Droddy married Emma Claire and they had the following children (all of whom are now deceased):  Ralph, Thelma Arline (my grandmother), June (died as a child), Allen, and Eloise.  Also, interestingly enough, while my Great Grandfather Lewis Droddy was a descendant of Christopher Columbus Droddy, my Grandfather McElroy's father (Thelma's husband) was also named Columbus. 

27.01--Ralph had three children--two sons and a daughter Jean (married name was Ayers and she had two daughters).  Ralph and Thelma Arline lived in Cheat Lake, WV, until their deaths.


27.02--Thelma Arline, my grandmother, was married to Ray "Jiggs" McElroy who was a Deputy Sheriff in Morgantown and a 32nd degree Mason.  My grandmother was in the Eastern Star and the Amaranths.  They had the following children (all of whom are deceased): 

28.01--Ray McElroy was married to Shirley and they had three children (Amber Key, Christina, and Brian) all of whom live in WV.  He also had a son Butch who was raised by my grandparents.

28.02--Gloria Catherine McElroy (my mother) married George F. Powell of Smithfield, PA, and they had 10 children (Debra, George, Richard, Kimberly, Kamberly, Rob (deceased), Scott, Carol Yvonne, Sunni Shawn, and Dawn).

[John M. Gwin Note: Cousin Becky Baldwin contacted us with the following e.mail.]

I'm another Droddy descendant, especially of Christopher Columbus Droddy through his son Ota Franklin Droddy, who married Missouri Gibson, (daughter of Martin Gibson and unk.). My maternal grandmother was Vesta Matilda Droddy who married James Anderson Barker, and they had my mother, Ida Geraldine Barker, who married my dad, Emil Baldwin. I'm the third child.

I've been researching the Droddy line and have come into contact with another Droddy relative, and here is his blog page: http://droddys.blogspot.com/2004/11/telling-story.html. He's a member of the "Texas" Droddys, although now I think he lives in California.

Ota Franklin and Missouri (Gibson) Droddy had the following children:
 
Vesta Matilda (Droddy) Barker, my grandmother; Nell Alice Droddy, who married William Fisher (from Logan); Virginia Gayle Droddy, who married James Varney (from Williamson); Ollie "Bus" Droddy; Carl Droddy; Louis Droddy; Truman Droddy; A little girl who died young
 
I hope I remembered everyone!  Also, Mom said her grandfather, who would be Christopher Columbus "Lum" Droddy, told her that something significant happened to the Droddys back during the Civil War. Do you know what that is?

John,

You can find the text you are requesting on Charles Droddy in the book History of Roane County West Virginia 1774 - 1927 by William H. Bishop, Esq., on pages 510-512.

Subject: corrections to Droddy info

To: john, jmcdgwin@zianet.com

Some of the information you have on internet has been quoted from some of my very early publications from information recited to me by the old heads of the times.

Two items they reported that have not held up from the records were: there was no Mary Morris to marry William Droddy. Ruth is the only wife of record and the mother of his children.

Charles' own pension records described the service he saw, and none of it was at the Battle of New Orleans. Just must have been some relative who knew he had had some kind of service and that sounded as good as any!

Help me clear up the wrong information, please.

  Hi!
     I'm another Droddy descendant, especially Christopher Columbus Droddy, through his son Ota Franklin Droddy, who married, by the way, Missouri Gibson, (daughter of Martin Gibson and ___). My maternal grandmother was Vesta Matilda Droddy who married James Anderson Barker, and they had my mother, Ida Geraldine Barker, who married my dad, Emil Baldwin. I'm the third child.
     I've been researching the Droddy line and have come into contact with another Droddy relative, and here is his blog page: http://droddys.blogspot.com/2004/11/telling-story.html [COPIED DIRECTLY BELOW]. He's a member of the "Texas" Droddys although now I think he lives in California.
     Ota Franklin and Missouri (Gibson) Droddy had the following children:
 
Vesta Matilda (Droddy) Barker, my grandmother
Nell Alice Droddy, who married William Fisher (from Logan)
Virginia Gayle Droddy, who married James Varney (from Williamson)
Ollie "Bus" Droddy
Carl Droddy
Louis Droddy
Truman Droddy
A little girl who died young
 
I hope I remembered everyone!
     Also, Mom said her grandfather, who would be Christopher Columbus "Lum" Droddy told her that something significant happened to the Droddys back during the Civil War. Do you know what that is?
     All for now ~

Telling the Story

West Virginia

We had a very successful trip. First of all, what a beautiful state. We flew into Pittsburgh, PA, rented a car, and drove to Charleston, the capitol of WV.
We drove to Wheeling, the first capitol of WV and then down state highway 2 which snakes along the Ohio River towards Pt. Pleasant, WV. Pt. Pleasant is where the Great Kanawha River (as opposed to the Little Kanawha River) empties into the Ohio River. We didn’t get as far as Pt. Pleasant on the way down, turning instead to the interstate highway at Parkersburg. We were anxious to get to Charleston before the State Archives closed. We made it.

The next two days were mostly spent at the archives checking land records, court records, miscellaneous lists, all dating the period between 1774 and 1810. We strongly suspect our great-great-great-grandparents, Ruth Ellison and William Droddy, lived in Kanawha County during this time. We know that he was appointed as one of the first coroners of that county, and his brother-in-law, Capt. John Morris, was sheriff. John Morris was married to William’s sister, Margaret Droddy.

William and Margaret, along with their brothers Thomas and Ezekiel, were apparently abandoned by their parents, Elizabeth and Daniel Droddy about 1759 or 1760. The exact details of this are lost in time. What we do know is that Daniel was adjudicated a garnishee in 1758 or 59, and that he and Elizabeth left Virginia, taking with them their youngest son, Daniel II. Thomas, William and Ezekiel were bound out. Thomas, who was about 14 at the time, and William, aged 4, maybe 5, were bound out to Robert Douglas. Ezekiel, who was just a baby, was bound out to someone else. We haven’t found the court orders regarding Margaret yet, but we suspect someone was appointed her guardian. Those early Virginians were sticklers for legal details. In the order book which noted Daniel and Ezekiel’s disposition, the boys are referred to as orphans.

[John M. Gwin Note: I've interrupted here to tie all this data into my outline format for clarity; the birth order of generation 2 is not necessarily complete or correct:

1.00--Daniel Droddy, b. unk; d. prob. bef. 1798; m. ca. bef. 1745 to Elizabeth (nee unk.)
2.01--Thomas Droddy, b. ca. 1745; m.]

2.02--William Droddy, b. ca. 1755; d. 1824 in St. Charles, MO; m. by 1787 to Ruth Ellison (d/o James Ellison of Greenbriar Co.)]
3.01--John Droddy m.

3.02--William Droddy m.; at least 2 ch.
4.00--Droddy, b. in IL; m.

4.00--Droddy, b. in IL; m.

3.03--Adney Droddy m.

2.03--Margaret Droddy; m. in 1778 to Capt. John Morris (s/o William Morris)]

2.04--Ezekiel Droddy m.]

2.05--Daniel Droddy II m.]

We don’t know the details of their upbringing. There is a notation in a civil suit many years later that suggests Robert Douglas moved to another county. We’re still looking for clues there.

Margaret, Ezekiel and William appear again in the late 1770s. Margaret married John Morris, a son of William Morris. The only detail to that is a comment by an earlier researcher who said that the Droddy lands bordered the Morris lands. William and Ezekiel are both listed as members of Capt. John Morris’s militia company, with a notation that they were living at the Morris stockade and raising a crop near there on their own land.

The Morrises all fought at the Battle of Pt. Pleasant in 1774. There is no record of any Droddys serving in that battle, so they may not have yet moved to the Kanawha valley. Margaret and John were married in 1778. By 1781, William and Ezekiel are being shown as part of John Morris’s militia company. By 1787, William has met and married Ruth Ellison, a daughter of James Ellison of Greenbriar County. James Ellison was a fairly successful farmer. We can find no further record of Ezekiel, leaving us to speculate that he may have been killed in one of the many skirmishes with Indians during this period. There were several periods of intense fighting between the Americans and the Shawnees not ending until the death of Tecumseh in 1814.

We heard that William operated a ferry across the Ohio at Pt. Pleasant, but we found nothing to confirm or support this theory. By 1820, William and a wife had made it to St. Charles, Missouri where he died in 1824. I say “a wife” because we do not know if this is our g-g-g-grandmother, Ruth Ellison, or not. There is another record of a William Droddy marrying in Illinois. We cannot determine whether this William Droddy is our g-g-g-grandfather or his son named William. We do know that son William spent time in Illinois because two of his children were born in Illinois.

William’s father, Daniel, is presumed to have died prior to 1798. That year William gave a power of attorney to Allyn Prier (Alan Pryor) with instructions for Pryor to do whatever was necessary to claim land belonging to Daniel near Staunton, Augusta County, Virginia. In the power of attorney, William refers to himself as a legal heir of Daniel.

We have no knowledge of William’s feelings towards his father and mother who abandoned him and his siblings in Virginia. I would note that the name Daniel is not found in any of William’s children’s descendants, while it appears frequently among the family that Daniel took to South Carolina.

Another note of distinction between the family left behind and the family taken. William spelled his name D-R-O-D-D-Y. In South Carolina, the name is spelled D-R-A-W-D-Y.

My grandfather, Joseph William Droddy, told my cousin Charles that his people came from Ireland on a banana boat. Every family legend generally has a kernel of truth.

My Droddys continued the family’s western migration, ending up in Texas in the early 1830s. By 1836, William was dead, but his sons, John, William and Adney, along with several of their sons, were in Texas. I believe they floated down the Mississippi as far as Louisiana. Maybe on a flat-bottomed boat. They all grew up on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. At least one of the brothers operated a ferry across the Sabine River between Texas and Louisiana.

Hi-
My maternal grandmother's name was Droddy. Her father was Ota Franklin Droddy, and Ota's father was Christopher Columbus Droddy. The father of Christopher Columbus "Lum" Droddy was Charles Droddy. I was so glad to see your homepage. Your mother has red hair like the women in my grandmother's family. LOL I guess you know the Droddy's (anyway, ours?) are Irish? I would like to find out who Charles Droddy's father was. I have spent 20+ years researching genealogy, so I hope I don't talk your leg off. I also have an MA in English, so I get hung up on lingusitics. I read somewhere that Droddy is phonetically the same as O'Grady in Gaelic. The state of WV spelled 'Drawdy Creek' and 'Drawdy Mountain' on road signs-but that is the doing of people outside the family. I used to laugh when I was a kid that they spelled our names like a 'crawldad' that lives in a creek. It's that Gaelic "ah" lilt that translates in "awl" for people who aren't familiar with the Gaelic language, I guess.
Contact me and we'll share notes~Maybe we're connected somehow. I'm sorry about your mother's nose. Charles Droddy bought a bunch of land around 1825 - I don't know where he got his money, but I wish I knew. Do you know? I found out tonight that he was a teacher. Teachers don't make that kind of money! LOL Thanks-great site - hope to hear from you!

Charles' father, William, died in St. Charles, Missouri in 1824, but that was not the source of any money Charles may have had for purchasing land. I have William's estate papers which I will be happy to send a copy to you. Odds are that while Charles may have "bought" property in 1825, very little money changed hands, just like today.

Hello
My gandfather is Clarence Ray Droddy. He's from WV. I'm not sure but I think that Christopher Cloumbus Droddy is like my forth or fifth great-grandfather.
I've been told that the Droddy's have a family graveyard in WV. To this day, I can't remember where though.
I thought that that might be some useful information though. I just wish I could remember where.

Hey, Sarah,

Email me and I'll help you tie into the whole Droddy clan. I'm pretty sure you're fairly closely related to my bunch.

Most of the Droddys in Louisiana and Texas descend from the children of William Droddy and Ruth Ellison.

I look forward to hearing from you.

I do not know of any Merle Droddy who may have served in WWII. Sorry. If he spelled it with a "double d" then he's probably related to us. Might be one of those West Virginia Droddys who are descended from Charles Droddy, the son of William Droddy and Ruth Ellison.

Hey all. I don't know if any of this is still active, but my name is Steven Thomas Droddy. I come from a branch of the WV Droddy's that moved to Delaware with my Grandfather, Richard Edward Droddy. I know he is from the Charleston area and think some of these names sound familar from a project I did back in high school, but I'm not certain. I'd love to find out more about my relatives and could talk to my grandparents to help fill in gaps. My email is stevedroddy@comcast.net if anyone is interested.

Hi Mr. Bridges,
It's been a while, since we have contacted one another, but I'm your distant Droddy cousin , that lived in Maryland, but now living in Alexandria, Louisiana. How have you been? So glad your still active with our family tree and so generous in the information that you pass down to others. I see that you have traveled and collected even more. You should write a book. Keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Donna Thompson Yu Campanile

Hi

I have a VERY distant connection with the Droddy family through various marriages (which I couldn't even start to unpick at the moment!) back to my maternal grandmothers family from the Forest of Dean in England.

I love the fact that you are researching your history in such detail, good luck to you in your continued research.

Hi, My name is Denise Kemp-Otterson, Iam related to the Drawdy's of Fl, Va, and S.carolina. If anyone can help me connect the dots to I believe Daniel, i would appreciate it. I can tell you my mother's mother was Minnie Marie Drawdy, her father was Dellmar (dell) Colsby Drawdy,His father was Corneilus,(neil) Drawdy. Iam hoping iam making the right connection when i connect Neil to Daniel, but which Daniel? their are sooo Many!!. I notice our family like to reuse names a lot!! LOL. If anyone can help me make sure i'm connecting the right dots i would appreciate it.Oh, my grandmother's father and her siblings resided in Coral Gables Fl in the early 1900's. What's left of her siblings' children are there and Here in West Palm Beach and Pt. St. Lucie,Fl.

 
At 11:44 AM, Blogger Houston said...

Hi Denise,

I'm not able to be of much help to you in connecting your Drawdy line to Daniel, but there are plenty of Drawdys out there who can be of help to you. First, try GenForum (http://genforum.genealogy.com/) and try connecting with someone there.

My line of Droddys are descended from Daniel's children left behind in Virginia when Daniel and Elizabeth absconded off to South Carolina with their youngest child, Daniel. We don't know much about why, but we do note that he was adjudicated a debtor and his children were bound out to others. There may have been some hard feelings on the part of the children left behind, however, since none of the remaining children named any children for Daniel or his wife, Elizabeth, nor did any of the next generation name any children Daniel or Elizabeth.

I'd have sent more information to you, but I have no idea where to send it.

Good luck in your genealogical adventure.
