Ancestor Birthday – December 13 – Sarah Frazier 1793-1836

Sarah Frazier was one of my 3^rd gt-grandmothers. She was the daughter of Francis and Elizabeth (Stanley) Frazier, born on 13 Dec 1793 in Randolph County North Carolina. She was the 5^th child of 10, with 6 brothers and 3 sisters.

This was another one of my Quaker families. They left North Carolina with a certificate from Center Monthly Meeting in Guilford County in 1810 and went to Fairfield Monthly Meeting in Highland County Ohio. It was a little less than 2 years later, 10 Jul 1812, when Sarah married Isaac Hockett. I wrote about him on 17 Jan 2017. Two of Sarah's brothers, Gideon and Thomas, married two of Isaac's sisters, Ann and Hannah. So their children were double cousins. I have some DNA matches with cousins from these families.

It was in February of 1816 when Isaac and Sarah and their 2 oldest children were granted a certificate to go to New Garden Monthly Meeting in Randolph County Indiana. When Cherry Grove Monthly Meeting was set off from New Garden the Hockett family were members there. The Cherry Grove records show that Isaac and Sarah had 12 children from 1813 to 1835.

Their daughter Sarah was almost age 9 when she died in Jan 1835. About 7 months later their last child Elijah lived only a few hours before he died. Both Sarah and Elijah were buried at Cherry Grove. It was almost a year later when Sarah herself died 10 Aug 1836 and was also buried at Cherry Grove.

Isaac remarried to another Sarah and they moved to Iowa, first Henry County and finally to Hardin County, where Isaac died and was buried.
