''This is the story that I always hear about the origin of my family name:''

 ''It should be noted, however, that the following story does not account for the genesis of the name Drysdale but only for the connection of Drysdale to the House of Douglas.'' Harold Eddington points out on the Clan Douglas Society of North America Page


 the genesis of the name Drysdale no one knows the date , however there are records that predate this story  Hugh of Dryfesdale was recorded in 1274 on the quitclaim of the lands of Todrig , Recorded in Latin , with plenty of witnesses , look on the POMS site , also court records listed Gawaine and John Dryfesdale and 4 others were granted a Royal pardon in 1489 by the King for charges of  what boiled down to treason , The name Drysdale [ how ever you want to spell it ]  was already in use in 1503  we have all read the same story , with the title claiming ''the creation of the Drysdale family'' , that is nothing but road apples , pure and simple road apples
 No Douglas ''created'' my family , what they did ''create'' was trouble for their self , and then they merely used our name to  not have any more trouble , if there is any truth to the document  at all.......
Also  I wonder why the Johnstones have no record of this beef with their own spin on it ?. if they do I havent found it yet ....
