Ephraim was the ancestor of the Drummond families in Spartanburg County. He married Polly Johnson on 17 February 1789 in Spartanburg County, S.C. They both moved from Virginia to South Carolina in 1789, Ephraim from Lunenburg and Polly from another burg only a few miles away. Then they settled in the vicinity of the present town of Woodruff, S.C. Both he and his wife were of Scotch-Irish descent. Ephraim, coming from a family full of pluck and energy, made his start in business by raising tobacco and rolling it to Charleston in hogsheads. He was successful in raising corn, and his place was often called "Egypt." He served for a time in the Revolutionary War when only sixteen years of age.
("Parks, Brockman and Dean Families" by Henry William Clark)

They were parents of 15 children; 2 boys and 11 girls survived to adulthood.
