It all came through this time. You've followed the descendants of R. L Fry right up 'til today. I guess we parted company when I followed Absalom Fry and you took up with Nehemiah.

You may have left much of this out on purpose but:

P.1 John, Jacob, Peter, Adam, and Henry were all born in Bethania, NC

Michael was born in Bethabara, NC.

Valentine Frey married Mary Katharine Yonce (or Younce)

Joseph Frey married Mary Amis

Jordan may also be spelled Jourdan.

I show a Maria Barbara Frey being born 6/24/1777 in Bethania. She's missing from your group---but maybe she should be. Let me know so I can remove her.

P. 2 No. 9 is the troublesome Valentine Frey (Fry on his tombstone). Would you want to put the "III" in to separate him from the other Valentines? That's also on his tombstone so it can't be far off. Not sure what your readership is for this tree, but I've come to appreciate having specific burial locations, in this case Cripple Creek, in case someone wants some day to go see.

If you want to put burial places in, then Hiram is buried in Evergreen Cemetery (I think Cripple Creek), and Absalom is buried in Pearisburg, VA.. Nehemiah is also buried in Cripple Creek

Absalom (with an "m") Slimp---may also be spelled Slemp

Abraham died 3/21/1844 in Bland County.

I believe that Jane Fry had also a Mary in front of the Jane. She was born 1/4/1829 and died 9/14/1808 (in TN)

Mary Jane married Porter____ on 12/28/1848

P. 3 Nehemiah and Lucinda Eastwood had a total of 13 children. You show only Robert Lee Fry which is fine if you're showing the direct line.

Robert Lee Fry is buried in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Cripple Creek, VA.

Here's where we part trees. I have no data from your fifth generation on. I'm sure you left some of that stuff off on purpose so forgive me for mentioning it. Your presentation is easy to read and that's always nice. Thanks for sharing it with me You've been a great help.

If I get any more data to secure the relationships or fill in missing dates or whatever, I'll be sure to send it on to you and I hope you'll do the same.
