• Notes

  s/o William DREW & Alice LLOYD —— At an early age he entered into the Canadian fishing trade with his father, William Sr. and brothers. William Drew was rated at Oyster River in 1648, 1649 (Drue)1650, 1657, 1659, 1661, 1662, 1663, 1666, and 1669 (early NH Census, Dover). His log house, “fortified against the indians” was built by Thomas BEARD. He was listed as a fisherman at Isles of Shoals.  He lived on the south side of the River at Drew’s Point, where on a hilltop can be seen the cellar of the garrison house built by him or his son, Francis. Another garrison house built by William DAM was later known as the Drew Garrison house.
