Individual Details

Jacob D. Fry

(10 Feb 1769 - 23 Dec 1818)



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.

Jacob was a grandson of Benjamin Fry, and a son of Jacob & Molly Fry (NO - son of Joseph Fry & Anne Funk). Jacob married Elizabeth "Betsy" Bean, a daughter of Mordecai and Judith "Juda" (Hammond) Bean, in 1792. They were wed by the Rev. Streit and had three children, all named after her side of the family: James, Mordecai B., and Judith.
There is a picture of his grave marker, St. Johns Lutheran Church Cemetery, Hayfield, Frederick Co, VA. Although he is listed as Jacob D. Fry - the stone has only Jacob Fry.
