Pension File R.3818 (Rejected)
Ann made application from Iroguois Co, IL, 2nd Nov 1852 for her widow's pension. She testified from her residence due to bodily infirmity. she was aged 69 years. She believed her husband, Benjamin Fry (deceased) was a Private in the Revolution, enrolled in Virginia and served three years and eight months. He served under General Washing & General Warren & General Gates & helped take Burgoynes force and was at the Battle of Bunkerhill. [A note between the lines states that the above may be a mistake.] She didn't know where he was discharged or what became of it.
They were married 18th day of May 1802, Frederick Co, VA - there is no record she knows of. She and her husband were natives of Frederick County. She was Ann Cadwaleder before her marriage. Her husband died in Iroguois Co on 24 Jul 1838, at which time he was 79 years and 6 months of age.
There are five children surviving. Isaac & Abrahm, aged 64, twins. John Fry aged 45. Benjamin Fry aged 49. Joseph Fry aged 42 - the said Isaac & Abraham were children by his first wife and no record evidence exists of their births or age. Signed: Ann Fry
Testifying to the veracity of the statement were Ezekiel Whiteman and Henry D. Strickland

In this file are papers relating to a VERY DIFFERENT Fry family. Even the date of 1834 shows that they are not part of the above Ann's petition.It is a petition of the heirs of George, Benjamin, Gabriel & John Fry, brothers who had all enlisted in 1777 in the service of Virginia. The first three served out their time. Joseph Fry, another brother enlisted at the same time. George Fry died in service and his heirs received the bounty land promised. Petition for the additional bounty land.
North Carolina, Stokes County - June Court (no year stated) - Henry Carter testified that John, George, Benjamin, Joseph and Gabriel, all brothers, did enlist as soldiers and Joseph and George died in the Army, leaving no children or heirs. Since the war all the remainder have died, none of them leaving heirs but John Fry's children.
Gabriel Fry, son of John Fry, dec'd made oath that he believes all his uncles, George, Benjamin, Jsoeph & Gabriel, died without heirs except himself & his brothers and sisters: Benjamin Fry, Quincy Fry, Delilah who intermarried with William Lawson, Nancy married Jonas Lawson, Elijah Fry, Thomas Fry, Zada who intermarried with Wm Collins. He has always understood his father, John Fry was a regular soldier during the Revolution. signed: Gabriel Fry.
John Banner and Jas. Lyon testified they believed the above to be true.
Petition for Bounty Land - Soldiers of the Contl. Line:
John Fry, Geo Fry, Ben. Fry, Gabriel Fry, Joseph Fry.
The names of George & Gabriel Fry appear on the Army Register. John & Benjamin Fry have not be found there. Joseph Fry died in service and his heirs have received bounty land. There is no proof of the other service or that the others served to the end of the war. On the evidence offered, the claim should not be allowed. Dated 19 Apr 1834
