John Henry Fry [Parents] was born on 1 Jan 1820 in Green Co, Tennessee. He died on 21 Jan 1905 in Richland Co, Wisconsin. He married Helen.
Other marriages:Bible, Martha C.
John Henry Fry was married to a Susanna Ida Clary and a Helen Naomi MariWells (dates & places and order are unknown at this time; 1999).
Believe that child 1 thru 4 may have been from a previous marriage toHelen because of their ages verses her's and that there is a 4 year gapbetween child #4 and #5. Could be from his marriage to Susanna Ida Clary(if she was his first wife).
Also, he lived somewhere in Tennessee because his first 3 children wereborn there. It is believed he then moved to Indiana between 1843 and1845, as his 4th. child was born in Indiana in 1845. After this, it isbelieved that he remarried because of the 4 year gap between the nextchild's birth. It is now known (by this researcher anyway) if his firstwife died or if they got divorced. It is believed this is when he mayhave married Helen Wells. He fathered a total of 5 children in Indiana.There is another 4 yr. gap between child #8 and #9, and the fact thatchild #9 was born in Wisc. indicates that the family moved to Wisc.between 1852 and 1856. He had a total of 7 children born in Wisc. beforehe married Martha (Bible ) Smelcer. Then he fathered 3 more children byhis marriage to her. This gave him a total of 17 children that hefathered, and 2 other step-sons he raised.
He was a resident of Richland co., Wisc. at the time of his marriage toMartha (Bible) Smelcer in 1867.
He was farming in Westford, Richland co., Wisc. in 1870. Note: there wasa Henry (or Harvy) A. Smelcer, age 12, and a William N. Smelcer, age 9,living with them in 1870. Believe these to be 2 of Martha's childrenfrom her previous marriage to John Smelcer.
Estimated DOB for all children born before 1870, including Elmer, camefrom the 1870 census.
There was also several "Bible" families living nearby in the 1860 and1870 census.
He was still farming in the town of Westford, Richland co., Wisc. in the1880 census. Estimated his DOB from that census.
He also married a Martha (Bible) Smelcer after his marriage to Helen.
Let it be noted that his grand-daughter, Effie Pettit, was visiting himwhen the census of Westford, Wisc. was taken on June 2, 1880.
When June & Bill Rohr visited the Concord Cemetery, in the area of LimeRidge, WI., in Sept. 2001, they found a John Fry buried there. His gravemarker showed he died Jan. 1, 1905 at the age of 86 years and 21 days.Could this be our John?
Helen was born in 1831 in Lower Canada. She married John Henry Fry.
Info came from the 1860 census of Westford, Richland co., Wisc.
This 1860 census indicates she was born in "Lower Canada", whereas the1880 census of Westford (on her son Zacki) shows Tenn. as her birth place.
