Early Colonial Settlers of Southern Maryland and Virginia’s Northern Neck Counties reports,

A Robert Drury was "transported" from England to the Colonies by Edmond Scarburgh on 29 September, 1663. Transportation implied that someone (in this case Mr. Scarburgh) paid for the transportation in exchange for 7 years indentured labor, after which he would be entitled to a land grant. A Robert Drury, as we have seen, was granted 100 acres in St. Mary's County, Maryland in 1670. It might therefore seem plausible that the Robert Drury of Docking, who received his final Allowance in March of 1663, set sail in September of that year for the New World, and received a land grant which he named "Dry Docking Farm" seven years later.2608
