They had a daughter Emily, who may well be your Amelia. (These Lutheran church records are very casual about names - none are spelled the same twice!
BAPTISED BY THE REV. WM. McCARTHY, 1815

(I think Dec. 16, 1816 is the birth date, and Jan. 6, 1817 is the baptism date.)
This is ripped from:

(Lutheran Church Record for 1793-1832. These records are for what is known as Ebenezer Church, at Big Creek, Fredericksburgh, Lennox County. There are many baptisms and a few marriages along with some lists of church members. Many of the UE Loyalist pioneers who were of Dutch or German descent, and from Evangelical Lutheran congregations in New York or New Jersey were members of this church.)
Please let me know if this seems to fit - it would be nice to have someone else researching this Fretz family! I couldn't turn up a Amelia Fretz - Jacob Purdy marriage.
