per Lloyd Wright: “...The 1861 passenger list is almost certainly the right peeps. The family
records indicate that there was a son named "Shadrick", which comes very
close to what is in the passenger list. (The passenger list may have the
name spelled like the Bible, "Shadrach", but it's impossible to say for
sure.) In any case, the match is very close, and the name is so rare
that I'm ready to say this has to be the right people. Thomas is
missing, and I infer from this that he must have come over earlier with
his father...”

per email correspondance with Stephanie Willi in May 2010
“...location for Charlotte Fry in 1870.  She is in Valley, Montour, Pa with the Morgans.  Look at her historical data.  Mother, Jane, has records going back as I have connected with someone related to the Birch family.  Jane's mother, also Charlotte, marries John Birch after the death of Jane's father, Thomas.
I was thinking of ordering the same marriage cert.  I just haven't followed through thinking maybe I can find him somewhere in the death records or something.  He must have dies between 1864 and 1869.  Jane and David Morgan marry in 1870 and have daughter Mary.
Thomas disappears from his immigration until 1880 in Iowa.  I wish I could find him in 1870!

From email correspondance with Lloyd Wright
Hi Gwen,
> I wondered where in the world "Cleveland, Iowa" was--and for that matter, where in Iowa there had ever been coal mining. This web page explains: http://iagenweb.org/lucas/Post-Offices.htm
>
> But the surprise was this paragraph:
> "Fry Hill Cemetery, on the heights due north of old Cleveland and with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside, served (and still does) Lucas, Cleveland and other small communities in the immediate vicinity. ... The Lucas County Genealogical Society reports that Fry Hill was established on land owned by the Whitebreast Fuel Co. about 1880 and that the first burial there may have been the victim of a mining accident named Shadrack Fry, whose tombstone inscription states that he died 30 November 1880, age 24."
>
> So there you go. I guess you won't be finding any more of Shadrick/Shadrack Fry after 1880!
