In the 1810 Census, he is listed with 21011-10010 in Worcester Co.

He served as a Private in thw War of 1812.

He is listed in the 1820 Census as 200110-20100, suggesting Sally (Broadwater) Dryden had died by then since he had no females of her age in the household and he had EVIDENTLY remarried to a younger Nancy Tilghman. This compiler is not sure the latter is true as it may be William Dryden of William for that marriage but still rfate the probability at 90% given the 1820 Census.

On August 5 1834, a William Dryden sold off all of his personal estate to William S.B. Cottman for $300 (WoLF-JCH1:105). Was this about the time he died?
