Ashley, Joseph and James are named by James Jurney in his book on the Frey family.
We believe that there were several additional children, as listed here.
Our reconstruction is based primarily on census records, and we would be very grateful for correction of errors, or additional details.
An Abraham and Mary Fry are living in Tippah Co. MS in 1850, both age 58, with Jane age 20 and Milla age 15. Next to them on one side is John A. Fry with wife Ailsy, and on the other side are John and Sarah Ellis. An Ellis descendant has identified the latter couple as John Fletcher Ellis and Sarah C. Fry who married in St. Clair, Alabama on Nov. 8, 1849. Also in Tippah County, but on a different page of the census, is G.W. Fry with wife Ann S. We think John, Sarah and G.W. (George W.) Fry are probably all children of Abraham and Mary also.
Our Ellis correspondent tells us that John and Sarah eventually settled in Calhoun Co., Arkansas. We haven't been able to find any of these families in the 1860 census yet, and don't know if Abraham and Mary moved to Arkansas also, or when they died.
A manuscript on the Buzbee family of Arkansas identifies Sarah Fry Ellis as the daughter of Jacob Frey (1796-1847) and his second wife Anna Elizabeth Butner, and Permelia Fry Ratliff Buzbee (1841-1912) as Sarah's younger half-sister. The author doesn't mention the 1850 census record showing Sarah living next to Abraham and Mary, and doesn't explain why he thinks Sarah is Jacob's daughter. We have found no evidence to support this, but are open to more data.
There does seem to be substantial evidence that Sarah and Permelia are related, but note the discrepancy in Permelia's stated age, assuming she's Milla age 15 in 1850, vs. 1841 based on her own later statement of her birth. By 1835 Mary Jourdan Frey would already have been in her early 40s, and 1841 would be very late indeed for her last child. Milla also fits nicely into the family structure of the 1840 census for Abraham Fry in Stokes Co. NC. Did Permelia take some years off her real age as she got older?
