An American Family History

William Fry and his wife, Elizabeth, married in the early 17th century England.

They were in America by 1636 when William was granted twelve acres. Their daughters were born in Weymouth. Three of his sisters also came to America, Thomasin Fry Meigs, Mary Fry Harris and Hannah Fry Rawlins.

Elizabeth Fry Fiske was born on October 20, 1639 and Mary Fry Pierce was born on November 9, 1641. 

William died in 1642.

Elizabeth married Thomas Daggett (Dogget) about 1643. Thomas held Elizabeth and Mary’s lands until their majority.

Thomas and Elizabeth had three children. Hannah Daggett Blanchard was born in 1646. Sarah Daggett Sherman was born in 1650. Samuel Daggett was born in 1652. 

Elizabeth died about 1653. After she died, Thomas married Joane Chillingsworth in 1654.

“Elizabeth and Mary Fry being dismissed from y^e church of Weymouth ... were admitted y^e 10 July 1659" to the church of Dorchester, Suffolk County.

Thomas and Mary Pierce of Dorchester and Nathan and Elizabeth Fiske sold William Fry’s lands to Samuel White of Weymouth on May 15, 1672.

Old Style Calendar Before 1752 the year began on Lady Day, March 25th,. Dates between January 1st and March 24th were at the end of the year. Old Style (O.S.) and New Style (N.S.) are used to indicate whether the year has been adjusted. Often both dates are used.
