NOTES: George Fridley, who lived at the foot of the Massanutten Mountains of Virginia in the late 1700's was eulogized in a song that was written by The Buzzard Rock Bayou Boys of Harrisonburg, Virginia. George Fridley built his home in the Massanutten Mountains. It is possible to make out the foundation of the house although the house is no longer there but the chimney still stands. The chimney is on private property. It is in the backwoods on Airey Lane. The person to contact is Mike Williams 540-269-2035.

BIRTH: Not sure if this is the George Fridley but people believe it is him and the song says he was born on the sea.
