Would the moderator please forward this email to the original poster. I do not respond to these Gateway posts. Carol, Your Louisa Fryback, and her brother William, are most likely the children of William Fryback. At least this is what I found in looking at the estates I have referenced. William died, presumably, in early 1846 as this was when a will was presented for probate. There is an administration on file for a William who had, amongst others, a son William and a daughter "Canitha Louiza". These are later listed as having a guardian assigned them. There is no spouse listed for William Fryback, Sr. The will was initially, at the time of the presentation for probate, refused, but later, in 1852, was proven and accepted for probate. The executors were Albert Huey and Benjamin Furnas. In looking at the offerings on Rootsweb I see that there was a William Fryback who had been born in Hampshire county, Virginia (now West Virginia) in 1793, who died in Montgomery county, Ohio in 1844. I would deem this Rootsweb posting as a very likely place to begin your search. I did look at my marriage collection of digitized records for Montgomery county, Ohio and there is no marriage listed for a William Fryback. Neither did I locate a marriage for a William Fryback, or any variants, in all of Ohio to 1850. The marriage, if the Virginia William Fryback is the correct one, may be in Virginia. I could not locate my CD for that state. Wayne Webb Past Editor: Brethren Roots Historian: German Baptist Church -----Original Message----- In our tree we have a Louisa Fryback, wife of Arthur J. Hartley. She was born on 22 Feb 1839 in Montgomery County, Ohio and died 20 Feb 1923 in Montgomery County, Ohio. We have found her Death Certificate and all of the information on it matches our family knowledge. So far we have managed to find her (spelled Friback in the census) as far back as the 1850 Fed. Census in Montgomery Co. Ohio as a 9 y/o living with Enoch Powell & Ellenor Powell. Also in that household is a William Friback (sp), 11 y/o, who we presume is likely her brother. Because Louisa & William were so young and living in the home of someone with a different surname, we also presume that their parents might have died and that they were taken up by the Powells. We know that Enoch Powell was from Pennsylvania, according to the 1850 Fed. Census but we cannot figure out if he was a relative of theirs or not. We have been told that the surname Powell is a well-established Quaker name in Ohio, if that helps anyone.
