My nephew Wayne emailed me the following today:
"Hey Aunt Julie,
Mom, Dad and Grandma are here in TN right now. I saw the
Marinda Picture they brought, so I did a Google search and found your site
and took a look. I jotted down the names of the siblings and then started
Googling them. I put in "Phebe C. Fry" and got a hit. It looks like the
right family (same parents, and sibs) with more generations above Joseph and
Elizabeth (it is a geneaology page for the Frey family, so we may also have
a spelling change). Anyhow, Phebe, Rebecca, Edward, and Marinda are
mentioned as the 6th generation, and they have the 5 previous generations
mapped out already. Hope this shortens your legwork and expands the tree.
The site is http://www.fmoran.com/frey/html
Googled "Phebe C. Fry". Take care.

So I went to the Jarvis Family Web Site and sure enough, there was Marinda with her siblings. So I have written to the owner of the web site and given my information and the link to the photo. I have filled in the information for several generations back on the Fry family, along with a pointer to the source information in Marinda (Fry) Whicker's record to await further research on my part. I need to finish the 1860 Forsyth County, NC census, but I am fairly certain I had already found Marinda with only her father in 1860 in Indiana. *Need to check that. In the meantime, I need to ready PA information on Steve's maternal ancestry to check when we go through PA and get some photos of gravestones and churches, etc.
But this is a real breakthrough on Marinda M. Fry's line, as well as adding a few more surnames for research!
