Francis
Frazier, my 4th great-grandfather, was born 19 Jan 1759 in Rowan
County, North Carolina. It was in the part of the county that became
Randolph County. I found him in North Carolina Quaker Records when he
was received by request in 1790 at Cane Creek Monthly Meeting. More
of the family were also received within the next few years.
He
was probably married about 1783, based on the birth date of his
eldest son in Dec 1784. His wife was named Elizabeth. Various
researcher have assigned her the maiden name of Stanley. At the
moment I tend to agree with that, although there is scarce
documentation. The family moved to Ohio in 1810 and later to Randolph
County, Indiana where Francis died 8 Nov 1830.
Francis
was connected to my Hockett/Hoggatt tribe because his daughter Sarah
married Isaac Hockett. I posted about Isaac day before yesterday,
January 17th. There I noted that two of Sarah's brothers also married
Hocketts. Of course those young men were also sons of Francis and
Elizabeth. When the three Frazier siblings married the three Hockett
siblings, it was almost like they were carrying on a family
tradition. Two of Francis's brothers, John and James, married sisters
of Elizabeth, Majorie and Susanna. Thus three Frazier siblings married three Stanley siblings. So here's another area where I can
possibly find double cousins.
