Their little dau. Mary b. 1712, was left an orphan by the death of both parents in 1714. John Urquhart and the elder John Fry had both removed to New Jersey and the little one was brought up by the executors of her father's will. Wm. Willis was one of the executors and she was often cared for in his family. A Bible given to the little one by Francis Fry, her great grandmother, has a name written in it three times by Samuel Willis. First, Mary Fry, her book; years afterwards, Mary Willis, her book; still later, Samuel Willis, his book.
