Hugh Drysdale
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Colonel Hugh Drysdale[1] (died 22 July 1726)[2] was a British governor of colonial Virginia.[3][4] He was educated at Kilkenny College and Trinity College, Dublin. More officially, his title was Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia.[5] He served as governor from September 1722, until his death in July 1726.[6]
Because of the relative peace and calm that marked his time as governor, comparatively little is known about him today.[7] He is generally held to have been a just and competent leader,[2] though some have questioned his ability to govern.[8]
