He served on jury duty many times in the early years. On 19 Nov 1677 Herbert Jeffreys, Governor of Virginia, appointed eight "honest persons as county justices and commissioners for monthly courts. John Drummond was one of those named (Acc Co Orders 1676-1678, pp. 69 & 70).

He also bought 300 acres from Gentlemen John Custis in 1690, land he and wife Patience sold to John Taylor in 1705. (NOTE: Nothing has been found of the 800 acres John Drummond patented in 1672.
