It’s Family Time~The Daniel Dry Family

Daniel Dry was born 21 July 1795 a son of Owen Ulrich Dry and his wife Eve Dry. He was the last born of 4 children to this union. He had one brother and two sisters. At age 19, Daniel married a young lady by the name of Barbara Lipe, also age 19.

Barbara Lipe was born 16 November 1795, a daughter of  Leonard Lipe and Barbara (Wentz) Lipe. There are reports that Daniel and Barbara were married on 21 March 1815 in Montgomery county; but I have not found any substantiating document to support this date.

In 1817, Daniel and Barbara packed their belonging in a One-horse cart and migrated to Perry County, Illinois. If you look at the children listed belong you will see that they had one son and Barbara was  most likely with child when they left Cabarrus County for Illinois.

Sadly,  Daniel’s life was cut short and he died on 9 March 1836 at the age of 40. I was unable to find any information on his demise. His death left his wife Barbara with 7 children ranging in age from 3 year old to 19 years.  

After the death of Daniel, Barbara (Lipe) Dry married David H. Mead on 19 January 1941.  I don’t know who David Mead was but I haven’t been able to find out anything about him other than the marriage that took place in January 1841.

i. Wilson Dry was born in 1815 in Perry County Illinois. He died in 1817 at the age of 2.
