Sixth Generation

305. Margaret FRY⁶⁵ was born about 1817.⁵

Margaret might have been a year or two younger and been the first child born in Missouri. The 1830 census indicates she was not yet over age 10.

I have never found them after the marriage record. Perhaps Margaret died before 1850. There was a William G. Oldham in Hannibal, Marion Co in 1850 - he was a brickmaker, born in KY, age 20 and had a wife Rebecca E. age 25, b. Ohio, and two sons, Wm. W. 8 and Thomas R. 2, both b. Ohio.

Margaret FRY and William W. OLDHAM were married on 19 July 1838 in Marion County, Missouri.¹⁴¹ William W. OLDHAM was born about 1818.

At marriage: "he being underage but no objection"

William Oldham served in the Seminole War under Capt Curd, along with his future brother-in-law, John Fry.
A William W. Oldham also served in the Civil War, age 22 in 1862 - perhaps his son. He enlisted in Louisiana, Pike Co MO.
