    Died
    • According to the monument to his father on which Edward is mentioned he died on 26 April 1755. I think it unlikely he was buried the day he died, and as it is clear that the inscription was added no earlier than 1801 I think the precise date cannot be trusted.
      "...
      There are also deposited in the same vault the remans
      of EDWD. DREWE (his 3rd. son) who died 26th. of April 1755 in the

      Despite having 7 sons, only one of whom died as a child, there were no male heirs to inherit the Grange from this marriage and it was descendants of a son of Francis' second marriage who were to inherit it.
