Sarah J. Friar, 1836 Kentucky

DaveHenderson644 — 2009-06-25 19:56:54Z

Does anyone have any info on Sarah J. Friar born about 1836. Unsure where. I believe she passed away in Warren County Ky.
She was married to George Jones of Warren County.
Some family lore say's she might be Cherokee.
One of her daughters, Mary Belle Jones Miller (1855-1917) is my Great Grandmother.
Thanks,

Glad it helped. Also wanted to mention that Florence County was formed in 1888 from Darlington, Clarendon and Marion counties in case you didn't already know.

If you need more help, please email me at matw70@aol.com and I will try to help. I often do census lookups for people online.

ccarmon_1 — 2007-03-18 17:32:30Z

Oh wow - thanks so much for posting!! I had just been looking up Friar/Frier/Fryer, which is why I was struggling so much. I had heard a possible rumor in the family about the name originally being Friarson, but I was under the impression that, if it had changed from Friarson to Friar, that had been further back in time, not as early as 1900 or so. Also, it was just a rumor. My husband is the youngest in his group of siblings, so he doesn't know much about the family history at all, so I am going to search the census better looking for Friarson also. I knew the family had been in this area for a while, which is what made it so frustrating. I mainly knew they were from Timmonsville in the recent years, so now I am understanding a little bit more, as I had found out some of the family members were buried in Effingham. Some Carmons who married Friars live currently in Effingham, so this is really helping me out.

Thank you so much for your insight & study into this. I also didn't know Sol Friar/Friarson was married more than once, but since I was stumped on the name change, etc., I just wasn't sure where to turn.

MWestfall9952 — 2007-03-18 15:13:47Z

I do not think we are from the same Friars, Fryers at this time but I took an interest in your post. Have you done any census research on this family? I found them in 1900 listed as Fryer and in 1910 listed as Friarson in Effingham Township, Florence County. It appears from these records that Solomon had a first wife prior to Bettie Odom. Also, was wondering if the name was Friarson at one time and was shortened to Friar or if this was just a mistake by the enumerator. The names of the members of the family appear to match and Edward is listed in the 1910 record. Regards, Mary Ann (Fryer) Westfall

Friar/Frier/Fryer from SC - searching for info on Saul/Sol Friar line?

ccarmon_1 — 2007-03-15 12:16:47Z

My husband's mother was Ruth Friar - from Timmonsville SC. Her parents were Edward Lee Friar (1900-1939) & Betty Juanita (Nita) Lloyd (1906-1957) from SC. Ed's parents were Saul/Sol Friar & Betty Odom. I have not been able to go back any further than that so far. I have an obituary about Thelma Friar, sister of Ruth Friar, but it didn't give any earlier information. Both Thelma & Ruth Friar married into the Carmon family in the Florence Cty., SC area.

I am trying to find out as much as I can about this family, but am running into roadblocks for sure.

Sarah Jane Wilkins

family_history_research — 2007-01-22 09:40:57Z

I am seeking information on Sarah Jane Wilkins b. 1868 Jackson Co., Texas; d. November 13, 1945 Mill Co., Texas
married (1) James Brown **I have no information other than his name.** They had 1 child-Carrie Luecrecia Brown b. August 15, 1889 Sweethorne, Texas (this is from Granie's Bible); d. September 06, 1969 Austin, Travis Co., Texas

Sarah m. (2)Robert Fryer (spelling variations Fryar, Friar)1900 Cuero, Texas. Robert was b. 1871 Leon Co., Texas d. abt 1909 San Saba, Texas. They had 1 child - George Fryer-lived in San Antonio, Texas at the time of her death. (Family legend says that his name was Jack-the obituary says George.)

Sarah m. (3)John Green Kelly marriage date unknown. John was b. 1858 in possibly Montgomery or Frio Co., Texas, d. abt 1938 Texas.
They had 1 child - Charlie Kelly-lived in Los Angeles, California at the time of her death. I have no further information on him.

The only other information I have for Sarah Jane Wilkins is that she has a niece named Susie Wilkins who lived in
Morse, Okfuskee Co., Ok.; Star Route in care of J. J. Whitson in 1918. I have a copy of letter that the niece wrote to Mr. J. (looks like S.) & S J Kelly when they lived in Beaukiss, Texas.

Sarah lived in Goldthwaite, Mills Co.,Texas at the time she passed away.

Her obituary mentions her granddaughter, Mrs. Hoyt Creely of McGregor, step children-Alozo Kelly of Goldthwaite, Mills Co., Texas, Berry Kelly of San Saba Co., Texas, and Mrs. Posie Hagerton of Abilene, Taylor Co., Texas.

Thanking you in advance for your assistance.

Does anyone have any additional information on Thomas Friar, Sr.?

Isaac Bucannan Friar was my GGrandfather, born March 1853 In Claiborne County, TN; d. abt 1892 in Claiborne. His father was Thomas Friar Jr, born about 1807 in KY and died in Claiborne County abt 1892.

Thomas' father was Thomas Sr., b. abt 1775 in PA
Thomas Jr married Nancy Richardson in Claiborne 1828 and had 9 children. Nancy diied abt 1847.

He then married Martha Jane Estes, a widow with a son, James C Runnion b. 1845. Thomas and Martha had 6 children. Isaac was their 3rd child.

Isaac married Emma Caylor abt 1877 in Claiborne County.

Their children:
James b. 1878
Hallie (Hollie) b. 1880
Charlie b. abt 1882
Clyde b. abt 1884
Julia J. b. abt 1885
Sherman b. 10/24/1886
George 5/11/1889
Samuel Thomas b. 1890 (my Grandfather)

So far I have not found any information on Thomas Jr or Thomas Sr.

I have some perhaps unrelated information: George Friar and his wife Ursula arrived in VA in 1624 from London on the ship "WILLIAM & THOMAS"

Simeon Peter Friars - From Duchess N.Y. to Kings, New Brunswick, Canada

gingerly63 — 2005-08-19 13:11:29Z

My local library helped again by letting me know that the first Friars he found in N.B. was Simeon Peter Friars b. 1745 Duchess, N.Y., d. 1818 Sussex, Kings, N.B. By following this line I have been able to connect, but it has been difficult sorting out all of the Simeon (Simon) Peters! It appears that not only would sons named Simon P. would name thier sons Simon P. - but that brothers of Simon P. would also name thier sons Simon P. Still trying to sort through all of that....
The father of Simeon Peter Friars (from Duchess N.Y.) was also named Simeon Peter Friars, but no history.....
Hoping maybe someone has some info to connect further back.

Margaret Ann, John, Simon P. Friars - Wardscreek, Sussex, Kings, N.B. Canada

gingerly63 — 2005-08-18 14:27:03Z

Margaret Ann Friars was b. 15 Sep 1846 in Wards Creek, Kings,N.B. to John Friars, b.1807,d. 22 Jul 1869 & Rachel Walker, b.1811,d.11 Oct.1900.

She married Michael Farren, b. 1840, Kings, N.B. d. 1903 Aroostook County, ME. m. Jan.6,1868 in Kings,N.B.
The 1881 census of Canada gives them at Sussex, Kings,N.B.

Margaret Ann Friars moved to Aroostook County, Maine with her husband Michael Farren sometime between 1889-1900 I think, as the last documented child of thiers (that I've been able to find in N.B.), my ggrandmother, Albina Elizabeth Farren, b. 4-Jun-1889 in Lake George, York, New Brunswick.

The 1900 census gives Michael & Margaret as living in New Limerick, six miles west of Houlton.

John Friars (Margaret Ann's father) b. 1807, Wardscreek, d. 22-Jul-1869 Wardscreek, N.B, m. 26-Nov-1829 Rachel Walker and had 17 children in all.)

Simon P. Friars (John's father) b. 1770 b. Wardscreek, Sussex, Kings, N.B. married Sarah Burgess b. 1772 with his family of 9 children. It appears as though quite a few of them remained in Wardscreek.

Thought this might be helpful to someone....
Is there anyone who can add to this?

Thanks.
