Biography
Sir Drury Wray was the third son of Sir Christopher Wray and Albinia Cecil. He obtained grants of land in Limerick and Tipperary in 1674 and served on the royalist side under James II, fighting at the Boyne; his Irish lands were subsequently forfeited. He succeeded his nephew Baptist Edward as 9th Baronet of Glentworth about 1689. By Anne Casey he left two sons, Sir Christopher Wray and Sir Cecil Wray, who successively held the baronetcy.
