Until this week, the family of Phillip Wiley Dry and Catherine Köppel was showing only six children borne of this couple while the 1820 census clearly showed the couple with 8 children.

The family in my database with only 6 children's; two sons are missing based on the 1820 Census report.
Yesterday, while doing research I had a “serendipity” moment when I found a marriage document stating that Lawrence Dry was a son of Phillip Dry and Catherine Dry. There is only one couple in my database for which he could have been the son of and he fits perfectly based on the 1830 Census.
I am still missing one son that fits the following parameters.
Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 18: 1 b. 1802-1804
Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 2 [b. 1795-1804]
Lawrence Dry was born about 1813 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina. At age 30, he married Rachel C. Brians on 20 March 1843.
This was the first of 3 marriage for Lawrence Dry. He next married Ann (Goodnight) Brians, widow of David Brians. This marriage took place in Cabarrus County, NC on 19 December 1849. His last marriage took place on 11 March 1873 in Stanly County, NC. At that time he married Elizabeth “Bettie” Lefler Wasner, the widow of Wilson D. Wasner who was killed in the Civil War.
This is the marriage licensee's that provided the names of Lawrence parents and his wife to be parents names also.
During these 3 Marriage, Lawrence named 3 daughters. In the 1850 census he names daughter Sarah J. C. Dry, age 5. Based on census she had to be the daughter of Rachel C. Brians. Many on line trees have her surname recorded as Brians. Yet twice, Lawrence named her as his daughter, Sarah J. C. Dry. In the 1860 census she is listed as Sarah J. C. Dry, age 16 along with another daughter Mary C. Dry. Mary C. Dry’s mother is most definitely Ann Goodnight Brians Dry. And finally with Elizabeth “Bettie” Lefler Wasner Dry he names daughter, Lucy, age 5 in the 1880 Census.
Thus his children are:
Sarah J. C. Dry, b. 1846
Mary C. Dry, b. 1851
Lucy Dry, b. 1775
It is not known, yet, when the first two wives' passed away; nor, the death date of Lawrence Dry.
Now that we have identified Lawrence Dry as a son of Phillip and Catherine Dry lets return to the 1820 Census and add names to the age groups to fully identified the family composition.
1820 CENSUS: Cabarrus, North Carolina; NARA Roll: M33_80; Image: 158, Page: 155; Line 13; Household of Phillip DRY;
Free White Persons - Males - Under 10: 1 [b. 1810-1820] [Lawrence]
Free White Persons - Males - 10 thru 15: 1 [b. 1805-1810] [Abraham]
Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 18: 1 b. 1802-1804
Free White Persons - Males - 16 thru 25: 2 [b. 1795-1804] [Joseph , Solomon]
Free White Persons - Males - 45 and over: 1[b.1759] [Phillip Dry]
Free White Persons - Females - Under 10: 1 [b.1810-1820] [Barbara]
Free White Persons - Females - 16 thru 25: 2 [b. 1795-1804 [Mary & Sarah “Sallie”]
Free White Persons - Females - 45 and over : 1[b. 1771-1775] [Catherine Koppel]
We have one MALE CHILD that has not been identified. I would still like to identify the last son of Phillip Wiley Dry and Catherine Köppel. Looking at trees on-line is like reading science fiction. It looks good and reads good but not a word of it is true.
How can anyone take the 1820 & 1830 Census where Phillip and Catherine had 8 children maximum (1820) and only the 3 youngest at home in 1830; then having both parent deceased by 1837, put together a tree with 10, 12, and 18 children just citing 3 of the many trees on-line.
Phillip Wiley Dry and Catherine Köppel are my 4th Great Grand Uncle & Aunt. Lawrence Dry is my 1st Cousin 5X Removed.
