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.

David,

I agree that the tombstone dates should be the best data---don't know why I haven't changed the death date in my own record. I'll have to do that. "Chiseled in stone", and all of that. Mistakes are made, however. I was in the genealogy dept. at the Library in Winston-Salem (The North Carolina Room) last summer and in their Pedigree File they have a significant mistake. Two Frey ladies married man A and man B but they had them reversed. I thought that source would be almost flawless. But most of that old data was kept by people and we know that once in a while there's a slip.

Assuming that Valentine, Jr. is the father of Valentine, III, my direct line runs like this:

Charles E. Fry (LD Fry, EA Fry, AL Fry, Absalom Fry, Valentine Fry III, Valentine Frey Jr., Valentine Frey, Sr, Hans Peter Frey and on back to Marti Frey born in 1521 in Zurich-I believe it was Zurich). You can see why it is important to me to be sure of the parents of Valentine III.

Thanks for your interest. It is really appreciated.
