more work needed

By the ref-needed tags, more work is needed on this article, most of which I cannot do due to other responsibilities, as well as Covid-related closure of most genealogical libraries. I edited it yesterday because the article needed triage, although perhaps too late for pupils studying colonial exploration and the American revolution this school year, even if it is Black History Month. I most definitely don't have time to prepare an article about Rev. Henry Fry, and thought several times about mentioning his. Obviously, it didn't pass and may have led to his failure to win re-election as a delegate for Culpeper County. I saw it on a family history website which probably doesn't meet wikipedia's standards for citability, though several years ago I read a physical book in either the now-Antonin Scalia Law library or a public library local history room which mentioned an ill-fated post-Revolutionary bill for emancipating slave in Virginia, possibly similar to the Pennsylvania bills about which I remember a longer discussion--and know they eventually passed. I know many of this man's descendants owned slaves and some fought for the Confederacy, but adding more genealogy would be time-consuming. Even using that uncitable website, I couldn't quickly link this man to Joseph Fry who was the Virginia senator for the trans-appalachian counties beginning in 1824 nor James Fry who represented Kanawha County for several terms beginning in 1826, but their father emigrated from Madison county, so I believe them relatives.Jweaver28 (talk) 14:05, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
