This page was originally established to simply present the ongoing genealogy of Ed Frye. I started with the spelling as Fry. Later I learned the spelling varied. You can see just how many variations in spelling by going to the Strassburger Ship List presented on a link herein. I will use the spelling Frey throughout this page so keep the variations in spelling in mind as you go through this page.
Since beginning this page I've learned a little more about the Frey surname. I've concluded that a great number of Frey's entered America through Philadelphia as german immigrants. They first settled in PA around Philadelphia beginning in the latter half of the 1600's. They moved westward in PA and then into Maryland and Louden and Frederick Counties VA. (There was no Shenandoah County until after 1791). Frederick County was split and the lower half became Shenandoah County. So remember that the people in Shenandoah County in 1800 would have been identified as in Frederick County in 1790. So if you are doing research look in both counties for records. The same goes for Culpeper and Rappahannock. Rappahannock was not established from Culpeper until 1833.
At the present time the Ed Frey portion of this web page presents 9 primary surnames in detail. There are over 1800 surnames contained in this page. Eight of the 9 surnames are those of his greatgrandparents. The 9th is that of his gggrandmother Nancy Horton. The 9 primary surnames in alphabetical order are Bollinger/Bullinger, Chandler, Downs, Fry/Frey/Frye, Horton, Lunsford, Potts, Rolens, Rawlins, Rollins and Young (I have very little information on Young)
Additional names under current research are Gross, Guittar, White, Gaines, and Shannon. I have also included the married names for the female children where I could identify the surnames of the husbands. They are Gaines, Hodges, Gross, Ross, Roundtree, Moore, Young, Thompson, Ramsey, Boyd, Reed, Westwood, Hughes, Good, Stevens, Francis, Eudy, Broadfoot, Castile, Ross"
