Identifies as being "of Moorland", he leaves 1 shilling stirling to his brother Jacob Free, leaves remainder to his wife Susannah, whom he names as Executrix. Assigns indentured "servant boy" Thomas Bostion to serve his full term with Susannah. Will written 9 August 1749. Probated 26 Jan 1750 to Susannah.

This might be the same George Frey as the son of Heinrich, as he lives in Moreland (where a record suggested that he did) and has a brother Jacob still living in 1749. However, his wife is Susannah and not Elizabeth (as some trees suggested). There is a George Frey who died in 1778 with a will naming wife Elizabeth who might be the husband of Elizabeth Hechlerin (married 1759).

That statement is not from my records (profile manager: Robert Moody). You could check Track Changes and contact anyone who edited the biography or did a merge. It came from one of those changes.
Does anyone have any clues about George beyond the single family record where he made his mark? Online trees seem full of errors for him. Any evidence for that date of death?
I added a source: A Genealogical History of the Bertolet Family : the descendants of Jean Bertolet which identifies the children of Heinrich and Catherine including George and his birth and death dates. I don't have any other source or any other information about George.
Is there any source for the line: "There was a George Fry who lived at Moreland in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania, who died in 1750".
