Fourth Generation


82. Jacob D. FRY40 was born on 10 February 1769 in Shenandoah County, Virginia.38 He died on 23 December 1818 at the age of 49 in Frederick County, Virginia.38

Jacob married about 1792 to Elizabeth Bean, born 1776, died 1838.

The Bean family believe that it was the Jacob, son of Jacob & Molly Fry, that was married to the daughter of Mordecai Bean, Betsy (Elizabeth), wife of Jacob Frye, as named in a lawsuit following the settlement of Mordecai's estate.
I believe instead Betsy Bean was married to Jacob Frye, son of JOSEPH Fry and the Bean family and FindAGrave are likely in error.
