Roy Gordon Fridley
M, #1, b. 20 Jun 1900, d. 3 Mar 1987
| Father | William Henry Fridley b. May 1857, d. 15 Sep 1939 |
| Mother | Laura Jeanette 'Nettie' Tingler b. circa 1861, d. circa 1904 |
| Birth* | 20 Jun 1900 | Roy was born at Potts Creek, Alleghany Co, VA, on 20 Jun 1900. Roy's date of birth was unknown. His family was enumerated in the census of 1900 on June 28th, but he was not listed, though census rules excluded those born after the official enumeration date. He later chose the date June 20th because it was the date of WV statehood. Roy said that he was born in Fire Creek, Fayette Co., WV, where his mother died shortly after his birth. The 1920 census notes that he was born in WV. Perhaps he was born later in 1900 and his family had left Alleghany Co. after the enumeration on 28 June? After the death of his mother, Roy was raised by his aunt Susan Tingler Bowyer.. |

Nancy Ann Fridley
F, #22, b. circa 1857, d. 16 Dec 1945
| Father | James Fridley b. circa 1822 |
| Mother | Martha Bess b. circa 1836, d. before 1860 |
| Biography* | Known as "Aunt Nan"; lived in Covington and smoked a pipe. | |
| Birth* | circa 1857 | Nancy was born at Alleghany Co, VA, circa 1857. Age 3 in 1860 census; age 23, in 1880 census; 1900 age 43, b. 1857; age 49 in 1910 census; age 76 in 1930 census. Nancy's death certificate lists age as 98y, 8m, 19d, b. 27 March 1847, but this is 10 years too early.1,2 |
| She was the daughter of James Fridley and Martha Bess. | ||
| (Witness) Census | 31 Aug 1860 | Nancy Ann Fridley appeared on the census of 31 Aug 1860 in the household of James Fridley at Alleghany Co, VA.1 |
| Research Note* | 16 Jan 1877 | Circuit Court Common Law Order Book 7, 16 January 1877: "Nancy Ann Fridley, orphan (unclear) the age of fourteen years of James Fridley dec'd this day appeared and made choice of Tilman C. Smith as her Guardian, whom the Court approves, and thereupon the said Tilman C. Smith, with William Fridley his security, entered into and acknowledged a bond in the penalty of ten dollars, payable to the Commonwealth, conditioned according to law and waiving the Homestead Exemption, which bond is ordered to be recorded, and thereupon the said T.C. Smith took the oath prescribed by law" This entry is confusing: Nancy was shown in the 1860 census age 3 (b.c. 1857) so would have been 19 or 20 on this day. The first part of the court record is overwritten and unclear: the "age 14" may refer to when the court declared Nancy an orphan (7 years after the end of war, or c 1871) as her father James never returned from the Civil War. She married Tilman C. Smith the next day.3 |

John was on the Alleghany Co personal property tax lists from 1833 to 1844 and 1846 to 1847 but he disappeared from the rolls in 1848 and after, so it is assumed he died later in 1847. His widow Hannah was living with son Charles in 1850.18 |
