The Blinn Family As They Relate to the Fry Family
The Fry Lineage and Related Family Groups, Joseph Dale Fry, 1986, revised 1996, p. 180-182.
The Patriarch of the Blinn family in America was Adam Blinn. who was born in Germany, a October 1763. In the History of Warren County, by Beers, we read the following account of Adam Blinn's entry into America. Grandfather Adam Blinn was a native of Germany, who migrated to America in an early day and being without means, was sold to pay his passage. Then after three years, he was a free man and moved to Ohio and located in Section five, Clear Creek Township on the place now owned by his son George Blinn. Here, he settled right in the woods, having entered the land from the government, and was one of the earliest settlers of this township where he remained until his death. Adam died March 2, 1823. Adam Blinn died on March 2 1823, and was no doubt buried in the Clear Creek Chapel Cemetery. (you will find a copy of his will dated March 13, 1822, on next two pages.)
It is not known the year Adam Blinn moved to Warren County. We do know his second child, Christopher, was born there, November 5, 1799. Their first born was Catherine, who was born in 1796 in Virginia. Adam married Julie Ann Fry, who some think was a relative of our ancestor Henry J. Fry. The Frys at that time lived in Loudoun County, Virginia. It is possible that Adam and Julie Ann were married in Virginia and moved to Ohio after Catherine's birth. Since Warren County was not created until 1803, Adam Blinn was indeed an early settler. It is possible the Frys followed the Blinns to Warren County as they did not come from Virginia until 1816.
The Blinns no doubt were active in establishing the Clear Creek Chapel, United Brethren In Christ Church. as they were very active members of that church group for as long as it was in existence. In later years, the Blinn family was always busy helping establish new United Brethren churches wherever they went. The Pleasant Vallev Church in Bentley. Kansas was one of those new churches to profit by the Blinn loyalty and service.
The Blinn and Fry families must have been close neighbors and very fond of each other lud4ina from the way they intermarried. In the first place, the elder Adam Blinn married a Fry airl who was probably a relative of Henry J. Fry, our forefather. Two of the Blinn girls later married two of the Fry boys and two of the Fry girls married two of the Blinn boys. The first of these couples to marry was John Phillip Fry and Catherine, the oldest of the Blinn family. They were married on March 2, 1817, a year after the Frys moved to Warren County. They probably knew each other in Virginia as they were both barn there. The next marriaae uniting these two families was Christian Fry and Elizabeth Blinn who were married on June 1, 1820, Christian and Elizabeth were the ancestors of the Jonas and Joseph Peter line of Frys. On June 9, 1829, Daniel Blinn and Elizabeth Fry were married to complete the four couples to be united within these two families. So there is no question that the Blinns and the Frys are closely related with all those double cousins.
We of the Joseph Peter Fry line, date our Blinn lineage to the marriage of Christian Fry to Elizabeth Blinn on June 1, 1820. This couple was the parents of our grandfather Jonas Fry. Christian and Elizabeth died in Warren County. It is assumed that, they were both buried in the Clear Creek Chapel Cemetery as Christian's gravestone is there and clearly legible. The Blinn family, like all the rest of the early pioneers felt the urge to move west in search of new and cheaper land. Leaving the older generation behind, they headed west to Indiana and Illinois. Jacob Blinn, second son of Adam and Julie Ann Blinn, was one of the first to leave Warren County. In September 1830, Jacob Blinn and his wife, Lucinda Thatcher Blinn, moved to Clinton County, Indiana. He purchased around from John Fence and built a tannery. Jacob died in 1851. Since Clinton County was created in 1830, it is evident that they were very early settlers in char: county. Their third child, Julie, was born in Clinton County, April 30, 1831. She married James Pairs on June 6, 1850.
Amos Blinn, second son of Adam and Julie Ann Blinn and his wife, Lucinda, moved to Clinton County at an unknown date. Lucinda died in Frankfort, Indiana in 1872 at age eighty-seven.
Daniel Blinn and wife Elizabeth Fry Blinn moved to Henry County, Illinois in the year of 1853, the same year the Frys and Zarings moved to Clinton County, Indiana. Descendants of Daniel and Elizabeth later moved to southeast Kansas. The Jhon- yes Jhon- Frederick Ermentraudt family moved to Montgomery County, Indiana, some time Prior to 1826. The Zarings and Frys came in 1853. You can see, one reason the Frys came to Indiana - they had old friends and relatives there before them.
Among the many Blinns coming to Kansas when they all decided to come west, was Henry and his wife Elizabeth Watson Blinn. Henry was born in Warren County in the year of 1825 and died in Sedgwick County, Kansas in 1903. He was buried in the Pleasant valley Cemetery near Bentley, Kansas. Henry and Elizabeth moved to Kansas in 1880 at about the same time the Frys and Zarings came to Kansas. Henry Blinn played an important part in the building of the Pleasant Valley United Brethren Church.
