      "Nicholas Fry, b. ca. 1724 Germany d. 11 Jun 1784 Lincoln, NC, m. 13 Mar 1744 Mosolem Lutheran Church, Berks, PA Maria Elizabeth Pabst/Pope, b. 10 Jan 1726, Thaleischweiler, Rhineland-Pfaltz, d. Apr 1813 Lincoln, NC, daughter of Johannes Heinrich and Gertrude Kieffer-Pabst/Pope; Maria Elizabeth m. (2) 22 May 1787 Lincoln, NC Michael Weidner, a widower.

      Lincoln, NC Deed Book 1:113: 26 Dec 1769 Nicholas and wife Elizabeth sells to son Philip land on both sides of Clark Creek granted to Nicholas 21 Dec 1763; Nicholas had several land records which divided [lands] among his heirs by Executors Philip and Elizabeth Fry 11 Feb 1786.

      See Lincoln, NC Deed Book 3 [for the following]:

      p. 24 240 A to George Icard
      p. 25 200 A to Peter Fry
      p. 26 150 A to Jacob Gortner
      p. 27 240 A to Martin Gortner
      p. 32 228 A & 25 A to Jacob Fry
      p. 36 228 A & 25 A to George Fry
      p. 37 200 A to Nicholas Fry (Jr.)

      p. 36 1 Aug 1785 Philip and Elizabth Fry, Executors of Nicholas, deceased, make deed for 150 A to John Fisher. (Eaker: Did Fisher marry a Fry daughter before 1798 when Hanna sued the other heirs?)

      Lincoln, NC Wills: 11 Jun 1784, probated 19 Jun 1784; a nuncupative [i.e., oral, not written and not signed by its deviser] will, wife Elizabeth, sons George and Jacob, daughters Mary and Susanna; all my children except Hannah Burns.

      [p. 175]

      Salem Church, Cawtawba, NC: John Fry d. 31 Aug 1856 age 72 yr 9 da; Mary M Fry, b. 15 Jan 1786 d. 25 Aug 1861.

      (Eaker: Hannah Fry Burns made an effort to claim her share of her father's estate, but nothing seems to have become of her claim in court. Only the civil action paper was made, but it does give a list of the heirs of Nicholas Fry, Sr.)

      Lincoln, NC Estate Records; To the Sheriff of Lincoln County:

      Greetings. You are hereby commanded to make known to Elizabeth Whitener, Philip Fry, George Fry, Jacob Fry; Martin and Mary Cotner; John and Susannah Killian; George Ikard m. Barbara Fry; Jacob and Catherine Cotner that they personally appear before the Justice of the next County Court to be held in Lincolnton on the first Monday in January next, then and there to show cause if any they have why the nuncupative will of Nicholas Fry, deceased, should not be set aside and administration granted Hannah Burns or such persons the Court shall think proper pursuant to order of Court. . . . October . . . A.D. 1798. . . ."

      [Eaker then transcribed records relating to each of his thirteen children.]
