I think they might be a clue in the Brenton/Brinton idea. It had to start somewhere. There usually is some reason for those legends. I have not been able to find anything. I have found quite a bit of info on Henry his line. See no connection to our Frederick. I would like for everyone to share their ideas on Chloe's ancestry. Some believe she was a Bryan related to Daniel's wife Rebecca. I tried that route and found nothing connecting. Some say a Donally. No luck there either. I have been researching all the Chloe's I run across and a couple of maybes, but they are far fetched. I think if we look at the spuoses of Fred's children we may have some clues as to where they came from. I have a tendancy to think Maryland. I have worked on Mary Fraley and John Jones for a long time. I finally found Mary Jones living with children in Alabama and she listed her birth place as Maryland. But I am not sure she is the Mary Jones I need. Trail ran cold. Do we know what the B stands for in Frederick's son James B Fraley. According to naming patterns, that could be the initial of Chloe's maiden name. ALso if James was the first son, possibly named after Frederick's father, then his father might have be Johannes, Johanne, etc. These are German versions of James. There was a traveling minister in the area about the right time, whose last name was Brittain. I thought Chloe might have belonged to him. Just a thought. I could never find any link. Please share your thoughts. One of us may be on the right track. Penny
