      p. 36 1 Aug 1785 Philip and Elizabth Fry, Executors of Nicholas, deceased, make deed for 150 A to John Fisher. (Eaker: Did Fisher marry a Fry daughter before 1798 when Hanna sued the other heirs?)

      Lincoln, NC Wills: 11 Jun 1784, probated 19 Jun 1784; a nuncupative [i.e., oral, not written and not signed by its deviser] will, wife Elizabeth, sons George and Jacob, daughters Mary and Susanna; all my children except Hannah Burns. [p. 175]

      (Eaker: Hannah Fry Burns made an effort to claim her share of her father's estate, but nothing seems to have become of her claim in court. Only the civil action paper was made, but it does give a list of the heirs of Nicholas Fry, Sr.)
