Helen, this is an abstract of the deed in Hampshire Co Court-House in Romney.
I found this deed in Hampshire Co Court House, Romney, WVa. This is for everyone
researching the Huffman-Fry families. (I have 3 Huffman & 3 Fry lines).
This is in Deed Book 11, pages 370-371-372 dated 10-4-1798, between
Jacob Mouser, Sr. of the County of Hampshire, State of Virginia & Catharine his
wife of the one part, & Henry Huffman & Catharine his wife, Herbert Humes &
Margaret his wife, George Huffman & Juliana his wife, Peter Fry, Susannah Fry,
Catharine Fry, Abraham Fry, Mary Fry & Elisabeth Fry, heirs & legal
representatives of Abraham Fry, late of the County of Berkeley, decd. Whereas
the said Jacob Mouser did contract for, bargain & sell unto the said
Abraham Fry in his lifetime for a valuable consideration a certain tract
or parcel of land, situate lying & being in the County of Hampshire on
the Waters of Little Cacapon, but before a deed could be properly
executed for the said land the said Abraham Fry departed this life intestate,
whereby the interest & estate in the said land became vested in his above
named children. The land was formerly granted by the Commonwealth
of Virginia to the said Jacob Mouser by Patent bearing date the 1st day of
March, 1792.
P.S. this deed has 3 of my ancestors, (1) George & Juliana (Fry) Huffman,
(2) Peter Fry who mrd Sarah Chapman & (3) Susannah Fry who mrd another George
Huffman (a s/o John Huffman, [of John, the progenator] who d:1824 in
Berkeley Co,(W)Va). There were a lot of Huffman-Fry inter-marriages before
& after coming to Greene Co.
