Green Fry's first wife is recorded as Mary "Poly" Taylor, who passed away in 1839.

Green Fry then married Rebecca Gray on 5 January 1840, in Moore County, North Carolina. This marriage is recorded and documented. Mary Jane Fry is the only one we know for sure is Rebecca's. They were both born in North Carolina but later moved to Tennessee (before 1835), then moved to what is now Fannin County, Georgia sometime after 1838. (At that time it was Union County which became the new Fannin County, GA, in January of 1854).

It is also unclear if Rebecca's last name was Gray or Shomaker. The only marriage certificate states her name as Rebecca Gray, but other family documents showhe was married to Rebecca Shomaker. Green fry had the following children (birth/date dates approximate):

Whitson Clarence Fry (1831-1890)
Jasper Newton Fry (1843-1862)
Elizabeth Jane Fry (1835-1908)
Tempey Fry (1836-1850)
Nancy Elvira Fry (1838-1924)
Mary Jane Fry (1841-1873)
