For those who missed the post on Brinton and Chloe, it read: I have a question: just how did the confusion start with Frederick & Britton (or Brinton, as I've seen it)? Anyone who's been researching Frederick & kin for any amount of time will know what I'm talking about. I have a TON of trees over here, sent to me over the years, that list Brinton Fraley as married to Chloe. Most of them list Henry Fraley & Susannah Margaretha Rice as Brinton's parents, & Frederick Fraley & Mary Fraley as Chloe's parents. As soon as you see Frederick's will, you know that Chloe was Frederick's wife, not his mother, & that that whole passal of kids were Frederick's, not Brinton's. Just curious. I have also come across this info. I have found no true basis for the statements. But, it had to get started for some reason. maybe there is some fact mixed with speculation. Can anyone shead any new light on this? I have also come across the idea that Henry was smuggled out of Germany to England. There he married a school teacher and came to America. He is then listed as the father of Frederick. This is extreme. I find No basis of fact here. Anyone know more on this story? Then there is the idea that our Frederick (married to Chloe) was the son of Frederick Sr. This is not out of the question. Does anyone have any ideas on this story? As we all think of the possibilities, raise new questions and work together, I think we can solve this unanswered question. WHO IS FREDERICK FRALEY'S FAMILY!!!! Anyone have ideas about Chloe? I am still looking for ideas as to where to go next. Until next time. Penny
