Searching for more information on origins and evolution of this couple.
William Fry, born about 1803 in Massachusetts
Eveline (?), born about 1801 in Massachusetts
Married: most likely prior to 1828 (based on age of oldest child in 1840/1850 census)
Migration:
(1) Removed from (?) to Ohio before 1834 when son Warren was born in Ohio.
(2) Removed to Wisconsin between 1850 and 1860 when appeared on the 1860 Census in Wisconsin, as noted below with son Warren's young family.
Parents: Unknown.
There are 13 FRY listed in Massachusetts in the 1800 Census and only 6 FRY in the 1810 Census, 4 of which are also listed on the 1800 Census, only 3 had male children under 10 in 1810, provided they hadn't moved:
John Fry (over 45), Springfield, Hampshire, MA
Job Fry (26 to 45), Royalston, Worcester, MA
Benjamin Fry (over 45), Winchendon, Worcester, MA
QUESTION: Could one of these three men be William's father? Does anybody have early Fry history in Massachusetts that matches?

QUESTIONS: Where did the two unknown children go by the 1850 census? Both would still have been young enough to still be in the household. If they died, are they buried in a local cemetery in Norwalk Township?

Fowler's Prarie Post Office.
William Fry, a 57 year old farmer born in Massachusetts is head of house with a real estate valued at $300 and personal property at $100. Enumerated with him in the 1508th dwelling were Evaline, age 59 born in Massachusetts. Also enumerated in this household were: Warren Fry, age 26, a farmer born in Ohio with a personal property value of $25, Sarah age 22 born in New York and two small girls born in Wisconsin; Miranda, age 2 and Emma, age 1.
(Note: Based on future census information Warren and his wife Sarah (nee Allen) has two daughters that match these. I believe they are living with his parents while starting their family.)

QUESTIONS: Where did Acil go by the 1860 Census? By the 1870 Census both William and Eveline appear to have died? Does anyone have burials in Plymouth, Juneau County, Wisconsin.
