Dr Drummond

Not confidentaly identified. Most likely Reverend Thomas Drummond, whom Dr John Burton might have met while in Edinburgh in 1747 (see p. 519). William Abernethy Drummond only took the name Drummond in 1760. Another candidate is Robert Hay Drummond (1711-1776), Archbishop of York from 1761. He was a subscriber to Dr John Burton's Ecclesiastical History of Yorkshire (1758), although it's not known if he knew Burton in the 1740s or if he knew Robert Forbes at all.
