Fry-7509 and Frey-669 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same person - Joseph Storrs Fry. Benjamin Fry did not have two sons named Joseph. The dates and locations shown for Fry-7509 are the correct ones to use. The daughter Rebecca with Frey-669 is the daughter of Joseph Storrs Fry (Fry-7509).

Does anyone know who Joseph’s son John was exactly? I’m trying to find who John Fry’s (the husband of Mary Lindemood, married 17 May 1799 in Shenandoah County) father was.
