Dear Sue in Seattle and Group, Thank you for your reply on the FRY's and the tip on the History of Moore County Publication. I have read it and made plenty of notes...I feel that the information given is possible their families, but not BINGO yet. The 1810 census shows a few male FRY's that could be father to Elizabeth according to the tallied columned ages, but I have not located another record like a will that names the father of Elizabeth. The three men I see that might be her father is James, Joseph or Thomas FRY. They had land and some records around the right place. Has anyone researched James, Joseph or Thomas FRY?? Thank you for any tip or lead, Cathy Farris PS Thank you to to Gaye for noticing the FARRIS names in the census...during that time my FARRIS were in Kentucky and Illinois...and they are as numerous as SMITH.
