Looking for some clarification on the Ikerd family information on the County website and other queries. 1. Johann George Ikerd (23 Apr 1759-bwt 1830 and 1840 or Aug 1836) s/o Peter Ikerd marries abt 1780 Mary Barbara Fry (abt 1762- aft 1800) d/o Phillip Fry. Does anyone know how they proved the relationship between Phillip and Mary Barbara? 2. Susannah Ikerd (28 Jan 1757- aft 1826) d/o Peter Ikerd marries Phillip Fry s/o Nicholas Fry. Is there some proof of this marriage? I am hoping someone can help me out with these folks. Thanks, Karen

I don't know how much you have worked in Catawba records. However, may I suggest that you will find some information in an article on the Gortner-Frye connection that will be interesting to you. Clara Shook and I put together everything that we had on these families. The article appeared in "Catawba Cousins". In accordance with the will of Philip Fry [dated 11 Feb. 1786], Philip Fry and his wife Elizabeth, gave 240 A to George Icard on both sidesof Hopp Creek. Lincoln County, NC Deed Book 3:24. [Philip Fry was the son of Nicholas Fry and Maria Elisabeth Pope/Pabst, who in 1787 married 2) Michael Whitener.] In this article, you will find abstracts of the seven deeds of Philip Fry and his wife, Elisabeth, which appear to be his division to his children. This Gortner/Frye relationship is complex, so you will need to read through all the records, which we have tried to supply for you. The Frye records of Col. George M. Yoder were from his memory, and are incorrect in many places. Use this material with care. I don't have the date the article appeared in "Catawba Cousins",.
