Henry Frey in East District, Berks, Pennsylvania "United States Census, 1790" database with images, FamilySearch [3] : accessed 27 January 2019), Henry Frey, East District, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States; citing p. 51, NARA microfilm publication M637, (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 8; FHL microfilm 568,148. (note from Jon Couts: this source seems dubious. It lists 1 male over sixteen, 4 males under sixteen, and 2 females. That seems like a pattern belonging to a farmer and his young family, not a man who is 68 years old.)
Henry Frey in East District, Berks, Pennsylvania "United States Census, 1800," database with images, FamilySearch [4] : accessed 27 January 2019), Henry Frey, East District, Berks, Pennsylvania, United States; citing p. 593, NARA microfilm publication M32, (Washington D.C.: National Archives and Records Administration, n.d.), roll 35; FHL microfilm 363,338. (note from Jon Couts: this source also seems dubious. How do we know this is the right Henry Frey? His household has one male over 45, two males 16-25, one male 10-15, and two males under 10. There is one female over 45, one female 10-15, and one female under 10. I think this is the same young family from the 1790 census cited here, and not our 78 year old patriarch.)

Dorothea Bopp and Dorothea Pope need to be merged and then merged with John Fry's wife Dorothea.
Maria Catherina needs to be removed as a wife.
Catherina and Susan Catarine need to be merged.
Millicent O'Neal and her children need to be attached to a new, unrelated John Fry.
Johann Heinrich's death date needs to be changed, as it seems to be based on John Fry's death date and not his own. 1768 seems to be the latest date we know he is alive.
Sound good? If everyone agrees, I think we'll be set to start.
Thanks
Stoever, Johann Casper. Early Lutheran Baptisms and Marriages in Southeastern Pennsylvania the Records of Rev. John Casper Stoever from 1730 to 1779. Baltimore, MD: Clearfield, 2006.
Find online here: https://books.google.com/books?id=54amMIKBRQEC&d The record in question is on page 60.
The date and names are right, but it's a different township than listed in the current bio (but then the current bio is not well sourced).
The original microfilm is viewable at a Family Research Center; there is one pretty near me and I should be able to get to it in the near future.
I can't read it either. Maybe in German?
Who is Johann Michael?
I'm not sure it's even in English.
I suspect both Dorothea Bopp and Dorothea Pope are the same person, too, but neither of them are well sourced. Do we have any sort of source saying that Johann Frey was married to a Dorothea?
