There’s an article on William Henry Drinkwater in the History of Johnson County, Missouri, by Euing Cockrell, 1918. https://archive.org/details/historyofjohnson00cock It has a paragraph about his father John’s family as well. From pages 1072–1074: William Henry Drinkwater, a successful and prominent farmer and stockman of Montserrat township, was born July 29, 1863 in Cooper county, Missouri, a member of one of the best-known and most respected pioneer families of Missouri. He is a son of John and Marian (Bales) Drinkwater, the former, a native of Kentucky and the latter, the daughter of Oliver Bales, of Cooper county. To Mr., and Mrs. Drinkwater have been born the following children: Sarah C, wife of Mr. Harter, of Pullman, Washington; Harvey B., Oiltown, Oklahoma; Margaret P., wife of Mr. Butler, Johnson county, Missouri; William Henry, of this review; Oliver, Johnson county; Fannie Frances, wife of Mr. Jackson, Kansas City, Missouri; and Rosie Lee, who is married and resides in Kansas City, Missouri. By a former marriage with Nancy Hall, of Cooper county, John Drinkwater was the father of two sons: James Robert, Salt Lake City, Utah; and Freddie, who was killed in childhood by a horse. Nancy (Hall) Drinkwater died in the sixth year of her marriage. John Drinkwater came with his parents to Missouri, when he was but a small boy. They settled on a tract of land in Cooper county, which farm the father entered from the government. Until the time of his marriage with Nancy Hall, John Drinkwater remained at home with his parents and assisted in the work on the home place but at the age of twenty-five years, he began life for himself. He was by trade a blacksmith, and he followed his trade in the years prior to and during the Civil War. At the time of the war, Mr. Drinkwater lived in Pleasant Green, Cooper county and for several years was mayor of the city. For fifteen years, the Drinkwater family resided in Pleasant Green. After his second marriage, Mr. Drinkwater went to Iowa, where the family lived for two years, when they returned to Missouri, Mr. Drinkwater purchased the farm on which his son, Oliver, now resides. This place comprises seventy-five acres, on which he was engaged in raising horses, cattle, hogs, and sheep, keeping stock in proportion with the size of the farm. He also conducted a small blacksmith-shop in connection with his farm. Mr. Drinkwater died in December, 1895. He was an honest, hardworking, capable citizen, a man of countless estimable qualities and he had many friends. The widowed mother is still living, making her home now with her youngest child, who resides in Kansas City. March 27, 1887, William Henry Drinkwater was united in marriage with Anna Lee Cruise, daughter of T. A. Cruise, of Cooper county, a native of Kentucky. To Mr. and Mrs. Drinkwater have been born six children: William Leonard. Leo. Harry Jennings, Lena May, Grover, and Gladys M. The father of Mrs. Drinkwater served throughout the Civil War with the Confederate army, serving under Major-general Francis M. Cockrell. Her uncle, the brother of her father, served in the Union army. Both Mr. and Mrs. Drinkwater are members of the Cumberland Presbyterian church and they are widely known, influential citizens of Johnson county, enrolled among the county's best families.
The Drinkwater farm comprises one hundred sixty acres of land located due north of the town of Montserrat. Thirteen years ago last March, of 1918, the Drinkwaters moved to this place. They have been residents of Montserrat township since that time. With the exception of nine months, when they lived at Rich Hill, Missouri, and eighteen months, when they lived at Chilhowee, Mr. and Mrs. Drinkwater have resided in Montserrat township ever since their marriage thirty years ago. He is engaged in raising cattle and sheep and hogs. Mr. Drinkwater prefers the Shropshire breed of sheep, as they are heavier and yield more wool than the Southdowns, the two breeds which lead in the Mississippi valley.
Mr. Drinkwater is a valued member of the Modern Woodmen of America. He is an honest, honorable, strictly moral citizen, a son well worthy the name Drinkwater, a name which is the synonym for countless sterling qualities.
On 27 Mar 1887 when William Henry was 21, he married Annie Lee Cruse, daughter of Thomas A. Cruse & Emma Marshall (-13 May 1885). Born on 18 Dec 1870.
