Individual Details

1870 Census
Farmer $1200 - 600
Fitz FRY 23 mw MO
Sarah 69 fw KY
This is Fitz living on the "home place" with his mother. He eventually inherited the Fry homeplace.

Another researcher has the marriage date as 16 Feb 1884, but I do not know the source.

1870 is in fact the first time that Fitz appears on the Fannin Co tax rolls. That year he paid tax on the 100 acres from A. C. Maxwell and 35 acres from McFarland that his mother and then his brother George had been paying taxes on. Probably sometime during 1870, he also bought some of the Lawson property that his brother Henry had. Fitz also paid taxes on this same property in 1871 and 1872.

1910 Census. All three sons still living at home.

1920 Census. Fitz and Minerva have Felix H., nephew, age 17 living with them. Born in Texas. [He's likely a great-nephew. Cannot find a Felix Fry in 1910 - perhaps he was Minerva's nephew.]
