ITEM 1: Piperne vs. Pimperne
I don't know what "Piperne" is/was unless it was Ye Olde Enlglish spelling for Pimperne...about 28 miles from Weymouth. I believe each place was distinctly different then and not bound into one parish.

ITEM 2: Daughter Lydia
– I'm not convinced that Lydia was a daughter of William and Sarah unless the snags below find resolution:
Snag A: Lydia's profile shows "Birth: 1585 London, England"
Snag B: If Sarah was her mother, she would have been about age 13—in London when she gave birth. This seems nonsensical given that Sarah birth and death shows as occurring in county Dorset.
Snag C: Lydia's death shows "1685 Henrico, Virginia".
Snag D: Therefore, she apparently was an immigrant landing near Virginia and didn't emigrate from England with supposed brother, William II.
– The last two points might make sense if Lydia was Not born in London. Also, if one or more sources show her birth in 1585, then her mother's circa birth year being adjusted closer to that of her husband's birth might be valid.

ITEM 3: Daughter Mary
I'm not sure if Mary was a daughter of William and Sarah given data presently appearing.
– Mary's profile shows a 1592 birth in "Axminster, Devon, England".
– William and Sarah lived/died near to Weymouth, Dorset.
– Axminster is 35 miles from Weymouth and 48 miles from Pimperne.

SIBLINGS: Master Profiles for William II, Tomasine, and Hannah all show births in Weymouth.

I assume the following is where Sarah's birth year was derived...which leads to no original source.

Yates Publishing. U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900
Name: William Frye – Birth Year: 1566
Spouse Name: Sarah Hill – Birth Year: 1573

Marriage Year: 1592

It appears WIlliam was born before 9 July 1559 and probably was born in Pimperne Parish, not in Weymouth Parish.

Name: William Fry
Baptism Date: 9 Jul 1559
Baptism Place: Pimperne, Dorset, England
Father: John Fry

Last Addition
Removing the death date for William I is probably a good idea.
William II died on 26 October 1642,
It's implausible that William I died the same day as WIlliam II.

Detached Lydia Burton as daughter of Sarah Hill & William Fry.

Detached William Frye & John Frye showing as sons of John Fry & Deannes Fry seem to belong to a different Family. I’ll look for a merge to undo.
