(most likely his name is Frye as his son,wife and all his children spell it this way,only on census records does it appear Fry.) He married my 3rd gg Crease Hyatt,i do not know on what date.I hired a genealogist to search for their marriage record,but she was not able to find it.The only census he appears in is the 1910 census,and on it his name is listed as Floyd Fry and his birthplace is given as Virginia. He died according to his son's wife family bible on May 10,1936 and the only reference i had to his death place was ''at the home place'',which i assumed must be Sullivan,Tennessee which is where he is last found in the 1910 census.Unfortunately they were not able to find a Death Certificate for a Floyd/Lloyd Fry/Frye in 1935,1936,or 1937 in Sullivan,Tennessee. I feel his parents are most likely a Benjamin B. Frye and Sarah Moore.I base this off of the fact there is a Floyd Fry living in their household who is listed as their son,they were married in Washington,Tennessee,and they are living in Saltville,Virginia which is not that far away from Sullivan,Tennessee. The main thing against it is that Floyd was born in 1872 vs. 1883 for my Floyd,and there might be a possibility that even though his name appears as Floyd in the 1910 census it might have been Lloyd going by what the family says. I talked to my great aunt and she said Floyd/Lloyd's son Junior's actual name was Lloyd but he went by junior,so he was named after his father.I'm wanting to potentially connect my 2nd gg to the Frye's of Saltville,VA,or find who his real parents are,so what records should i look for? The family doesn't know much at all on Floyd,and i'm wondering what happened to him after 1910 b/c he vanishes,i can not find any other census in which he appears after or before this date with 100% certainty.Crease in later census records list her status as divorced,but on her D.C. (i know not filled out ny her) but her son Presston Frye has her listed as widowed.Sorry for the very long post,but wondering what people here would look for in order to find my ancestors parents,thanks.
