Biography
Keziah (or Kiziah) was born about 1753.
- While Keziah, wife of George Fry, was not included among the children of Parker and Mary in Ronnie Adkins' genealogy of the Adkins family (he called her Keziah Mallory),[1] research conducted after the book's publication indicates that she was the daughter of Mary and Parker Adkins.[2]
She married George Fry Jr about 1775 in Giles, Virginia.[3]
The birth and marriage dates are estimated based on the births of their children.
Keziah passed away on October 10th, 1824 and is buried on Beech Fork near the mouth of Bowen's Creek across from the Sigmond Adkins homeplace. A photo of her tombstone is included in Ronnie Adkins book, "The Adkins Family of Wayne County, West Virginia, Also Cabell, Lincoln and Boone" which includes her date of death. [1]
Research Note
Some researchers carry Keziah with the middle name of Mallory.
The Colonel Thomas Reynolds Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution in Mt. Holly, New Jersey carries George Fry as a Patriot ancestor among its members. They list George's wife as Keziah Adkins but the national society omits her last name. [4]
A modern female line descendant of Keziah had her mtDNA tested with Family Tree DNA. The mtDNA test showed a haplogroup of H3b1b1. This test was done to compare the results with a descendant of her sister, Charity, to attempt to determine the mother of both sisters. DNA research is ongoing.
