William (4Henry, 3Peter, 2Johannes Peter, 1Peter) Fry of Licking Co OH
Research Note: The first proven member of the Fry family of Newton TWP, Licking Co OH is Henry Fry b. 1813 in Ohio. And from the 1880 census, we learn that his parents were born in Virginia. Having failed to find historical references and/or records which precede Henry, this research starts again by looking at gravestones in the surrounding communities. [Fry Research Notes]
William Fry was born 4/1847 in Licking Co OH. William is first found in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, living with his parents. In 1870 William is found living in the home of his uncle, David Bullock, the same home in which his grandmother, Nancy Bullock, lived before her death.
William was married in about 1873 in Licking Co OH to Sarah Elizabeth Evans b. 12/24/1853 Licking Co OH. Son, Henry Clark Fry, was born 6/3/1877 in Licking Co OH. Unfortunately, Susan died shortly thereafter. For unknown reasons, William Fry allowed the Weaver Family to four month old Henry. With the adoption on 10/14/1878, Henry was renamed Henry Clark Weaver. William's mother-in-law cared for daughter Amanda. And, William joined the Evans family and is found in the 1880 Census living in the Evans household.
Evidently, Sarah's death had a profound effect on William. Although he worked at several jobs, he never owned property. William can be found in subsequent censuses living with his wife's parents and then his daughter. William died 11/30/1903 in Licking Co OH and is buried with his wife in Evans Cemetery.
