Fries: Tauberrettersheim, Bavaria => Washington State

I am looking for information about the Fries family of Bavaria, Germany. Here is what I have so far:

Martin Fries -- Married Margarita Margaretha Engbert. Martin Fries built operated the Tauberettersheim Mill in 1837. Martin and Margarita had six children -- I only know the name of one (Georg Fries -- my Great Grandfather).

Martin's son Georg married Barbara Rost in the late 1850's early 1860's and they had 12 children (Barbara Theresia, Cecilia, Martin, Konrad Anselm, Valentin, Anna Katherina, Anna, Ludwig, Micheal Anton, Georg, Maria and Phillip)-- they also lived in Tauberettersheim. Georg's son Georg (1875 - 1963) came to America in 1909/1910 and married Katherine Endres in 1923. They were married in Seattle, Wa. and both died in or near Winlock, Washington. Georg's brother Phillip Fries also came to America, settling in Washington State as well.

If anyone has any information about this Fries family, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks.
