Ancestor Birthday - January 19th - Francis Frazier 1759–1830


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.
