Over the past 40 years I have chosen to remain sane by maintaining one version of our Fryrear family tree, and I have used Ancestry as the repository for this tree. Here in WikiTree I have only built my immediate paternal descent. Now, given a broader experience with other WikiTree researchers and growing comfort with the organization and capabilities of this framework, I plan to expand my involvement, particularly with a focus on pre-1840 Kentucky and Virginia family links.

Biography
I have been working on Fryrear and allied family genealogy since the 1960's , first relying on public records such as census data, but later exploring the family background in Kentucky and Virginia via research trips. I have build a substantial annotated tree in Ancestry. A Loudoun County, Virginia trip in 2021 allowed me to uncover and document one generation earlier on the Fryrear family of the early to late 1700s. I have recently turned my attention to post-Civil War expansion of one part of the family within the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma (now, primarily Grady County). In 2022 my main research focus is: * Chickasaw migration from Mississippi and earlier background around Tupelo, * Early Virginia, Maryland and Kentucky antestors.
