Hugh Drysdale

Colonel Hugh Drysdale[1] (died 22 July 1726)[2] was an American governor of colonial Virginia.[3][4] He was educated at Kilkenny College and Trinity College Dublin.[5] More officially, his title was Lieutenant Governor and Commander in Chief of the Colony and Dominion of Virginia.[6] He served as governor from September 1722, until his death in July 1726.[7]

Because of the relative peace and calm that marked his time as governor, comparatively little is known about him today.[8] He is generally held to have been a just and competent leader,[2] though some have questioned his ability to govern.[9]
