In our family, there were 2 Dewald Frys, uncle and
nephew, just 7 years apart in age. They each married a Mary,
and had several children with similar names. A
researchers nightmare. Fortunately, I talked with several
great-uncles who knew each from the other. Here are the facts:
Frederick and Elizabeth's youngest child was Dewald (1833-1907).
He married Mary Swann. Frederick's son Jacob (and Lavina) had a
son Dewald (1840-1913) who married Mary Heinley (she was the sister of my
great-great grandmother... they married Fry brothers). To further complicate the
matter, both couples are buried in the same cemetery and the first Dewald has two stones, one spelled as Davold Fry (the older stone with a more German spelling) and DeWald Frey, a newer stone placed, I presume, by the branch
of his family who changed the spelling of the last name because
there were too many Frys in Lycoming County.
A bit of oral family legend also from my great-uncles...one
was called Black Dewald and the other White Dewald...but my sources
couldn't remember why..hair color? complexion? personality
Thanks for responding. The cousins are really popping up all
over the net.

This researcher believes that Mary M. Dewalt is the daughter of Henry Dewalt (Dewald) and his wife, Sarah of Muncy Twp in 1850. This family consists of the following children: George 16; Mary, 14; Sarah, 12; All???, 10 female; Jacob, 8; Henry, 6; and Catherine 4.
In 1860 the family is Henry, 48; Sarah, 47; children: George, 25; Sarah, 20; Ellen, 18; Jacob 16; Henry 13; Catherine 11; Emma M. 5. Muncy Twp.
In 1870 the family is Henry, 52 Sarah 52 and Catherine, 21. Muncy Twp.
The repeat of given names were common in families. Mary's second son was Henry, probably named for her father and second daughter, Sarah probably for her mother.
