Jonas Friar born about 1807

Jonas Friar was born about 1807 in USA.  Possibly in NY or PA.  He was of German descent. Jonas Friar was also known as Jonas Fryer.

Jonas Friar's parents have been a mystery to me for over 20 years and I am desperately hoping to break thru this brick wall.

Who Jonas Friar is NOT:

Some people have suggested that Jonas Friar was the Jonas Freyer who was born 21 Aug 1810 and baptized 13 Feb 1811 in New Hanover, Montgomery, Pennsylvania.

This is almost certainly not correct.  That Jonas was the son of Jacob Freyer and Susannah Eichelberger.  He never married, and stayed in Pennsylvania his whole life.
