Hello, Would anyone be interested in an antique photograph of a little girl on horseback: "Celia Frazier, daughter of Mrs. Carry Frazier" (as the photo reads), taken in the late 19th/early 20th century? If so, please e-mail me back at bmatth@earthlink.net. Thank you! Brian Matthews www.gumshoe.biz

Does anyone have a JACOB FRAZIER who married Nancy Wine Johnston/Johnson in Braxton County, WV on Dec. 13, 1864?? This man is my brick wall!! All I know is he was either Nancy's second or third husband. I found a JACOB FRAZIER in the 1850 Wirt County,WV census living with the Thomas Pickering family. This Jacob is 38 years old which would make him born around 1822 and his age would coincide with Nancy's age. Any help sure would be welcomed!!! Thanks in advance! Claudia Pell-Salvatore

I have recently found my Frazier roots (at least in part) and joined the list. William M. Frazier wrote his will in Dearborn Co., Indiana on Sept. 9, 1827. He died within 3 months, as his will was proven Dec. 8, 1827. In the will he names his wife as Clarissa, his daughters as Elizabeth Melinda and Mary Ann, and his father as Samuel Frazier. The records from 1828 and 1829 for the settlement of his estate show that Clarissa married N. Knapp before Dec. 1828, and gives Elizabeth Melinda Frazier's birtday as January 5, 1825; Mary Ann Frazier's is shown as April 4, 1827. Elizabeth Melinda Frazier married my g g grandfather, Levi Thomas in Fayette County, Indiana on October 17, 1841; Mary Ann married Anderville Hillis on Nov. 14, 1852, also in Fayette County. The "Biographical and Genealogical History of Wayne, Fayette, Union and Franklin Counties, Indiana", Lewis Publishing, 1899 names Clarissa's father as Elijah Thatcher, her second husband as Nehemiah Knapp, and she gives Massachusetts as her birth state in the 1850 census. I would be interested in any available information on my Fraziers, particularly information on Samuel Frazier. Samuel is show as being older than 45 in the 1820 Dearborn County Census, with 2 boys age 10 to 16, 1 age 16 to 26, with 3 females under 10, one 16 to 26, and one 26 to 45.

I have another Frazier/Fraser/Frazer query. My 2 great grandmother was Jane Lovat, said by her son in the 1901 Potts Family book, to be of the Frazier clan of Scotland. Jane was born 2 May 1791 in Ireland, probably Co. Cavan. She married Alexander Potts abt 1819 there. They had 8 children there. Several of their children came to Ontario, Canada, in the early to mid 1800s, bef 1851. about that time, they decided to join those older children, and brought with them several of their younger children. They settled in or near Belleville, Ontario. Jane's half sister married Alexander's brother, William. I don't know her name, could be their mother that they shared? I did find a William Potts whose wife was Elizabeth, in the Ontario census. Could this be the half sister? Anyway, I am looking for information on Jane's ancestry. Thanks for any help. Joyce

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Keith FRAZIER taken at the Bateham Studio in Norwalk, Ohio. The photograph is dated December 25, 1894 and appears to be of a child about 5 years of age. It does appear to be a female child, though I'm not certain with the name "Keith". Maybe Keith FRAZIER is the person to whom the photograph was given? I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that we can confirm the identity and see that the photograph is returned to the care of family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

Hi, I just subscribed to all three of these lists and have just started researching these surnames. John Fowler, b. abt 1747 in Sampson Co., NC, d. 1845 in Pike Co., AL.

Walter is the grandson of John Henry and Louise Barbara Back Potter. I have been corresponding with him for a couple of months. In addition to the message below, he also sent me a floor plan of their house as he remembers it. Walter Kyle lived with John Henry and Louise Barbara Back Potter from the time he was born (1924) until he was 13, when Louise Potter had a stroke. He then went to Springfield to live with his mother, who had married Holland T. Bennett. I sent him a questionnaire with the following questions to find out a little bit more about John Henry and Louise Barbara Back Potter. 1) What was a typical week like living with his grandparents? What did they do in their free time?Living with Grandma & Grandpa was just like living with mother, etc. Grandma had rules that were to be obeyed or you got the paddle. She was a wonderful person, full of love and understanding. At the same time she was firm. She did not believe in the old saying "spare the rod and spoil the child". I got my share of paddling (usually 4 or 5 times a day). Henry Back and I always seemed to be in trouble. Grandma was a heavy lady and she couldn't chase me. At times, I would hide under her bed. All she would do is sit down in a chair by the bed and say "I can wait as long as you can". Shortly, I would crawl out and bend over her knee for my spanking. Afterwards she would make me hug her and say "I love you, Grandma", and everything would be OK.There seemed to be very little free time. They were always busy doing something. In the summertime, Grandpa took care of the gard! en , and Grandma canned everything. She also made lye soap once a year. When Grandpa wasn't busy, he liked to sit in the shade and whittle.Grandma was the secretary-treasurer of the Woodman Circle Lodge. They (the ladies) would meet at our house. After the meeting, they would stay and quilt a while. I was the one who went under the quilting frame to pick up dropped needles and thread. 2) Were they religious? Which church did they attend? How often?Grandma loved Jesus. They didn't get to go to church Grandma couldn't walk very far because of her legs. They belonged to the Evangelical Church. 3) Did they travel to see relatives? Did they ever go to Oklahoma to see other Back relatives?They did not travel. Travel to Grandma was to Uncle Curley's for Christmas dinner. I was told that John Potter was in the Oklahoma land rush. He staked out a claim, but had to abandon it and go back home to take care of Louise because she was sick. He didn't go back. 4) Did Louise talk about Germany and family back in Germany?Grandma talked very little about Germany. 5) Did everyone call John Henry by both names, or was he just John Potter? Was he quiet? Did he smoke, drink, etc.? Did he work all the time (I noticed that he was listed as a night watchman in the 1930 census)? How long did he operate the oil delivery business, and what did he do with the business when he quit?Everyone called him John Potter. I was known in Boonville as "John Potter's little boy." He was a quiet man. He didn't smoke or drink, except with Uncle Dom Barnert who made black cherry wine. They would set and talk and have a glass. Grandpa would put a small amount in a glass, and fill it with water for me. John Potter did chew tobacco. His favorite was plug tobacco called "Day's Work". He bought it by the carton and had a wad in his mouth most of the day. I admired him and his tobacco chewing and was always after him to teach me to chew. Finally, he cut off a small piece and gave it to me to chew. We were sitting on the steps. I didn't know it but he! was watching me out of the corner of his eye. I was chewing up a storm and was getting sicker all the time. He never told me that I wasn't supposed to swallow the tobacco juice. That was the last time I begged him for a chew. He taught me a lesson about chewing. I never did chew tobacco again.After the chicken house closed, Grandpa retired. As for the oil business, he just went out of business because of electric lights, natural gas, etc. The only thing we used coal oil for was a heater for the bathroom, and Grandma kept an oil lamp burning at night in the kitchen. 6) Was Louise a strict disciplinarian, as I have heard? What name did others refer to her with (Louise, Barbara, other)?If you got in trouble, you got a spanking, and she did that with love. Most people called her Louise. Grandpa called her "Lou". 7) What was their house like? Did they grow their own food? Did she make her own clothes? Did they have electricity and/or running water?The house was frame. Uncle Bill (William John Potter) built the porch across the front of the house. We did have running water and electricity. Grandpa planted a good-sized garden (he had a green thumb) and planted by the moon. Grandma canned everything she could. Everything was stored in the basement (which had three rooms, dirt walls and floors). Wood and coal were stored in ½ of one room. The other half had bins where potatoes, apples, squash, etc. were stored. In the other two rooms there were shelves where all the items Grandma canned were stored. She canned everything from apple jelly to vegetable soup. 8) I noticed William Potter living with them in 1930. Did he live there very long? Uncle Bill started living at home after his divorce, and he lived there after Grandma died. He married Louise Burlage then and they lived there until he (William Potter) died. 9) Did Herman Potter ever live with them? Did he move back to Boonville after his first wife died? What kind of work did he do?Uncle Herman did not live with them. He married Louise Burlage and they bought a house not too far from Walter Potter. Grandpa sold the house on 1st Street and moved in with them. Please share this with other members of your family. This is the kind of information that no one thinks to ask. I'm glad I was able to find Theresa Persinger (Curley Potter's granddaughter), who gave me Walter Kyle's address and phone number. -- Bill ScrogginReply to: itcscrog@aol.com

Hello, There is a Frazier family genealogy on eBay and I thought some of you may be interested in it. It can be found here: <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2980&item=2924266563">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2980&item=2924266563</A> You are bidding on Mills, Frazier, And Allied Families by Margaret Mills Frazier. The book is a hardcover first edition that is 256 pages in length, including illustrations and index. It was published by the McClain Printing Company of Parsons, West Virginia in 1979. In this family history, the ancestry of Phil Douglas FRAZIER and his wife Margaret Ruth MILLS is traced. Phil was born in 1921 in Ashland, Boyd County, Kentucky, the son of Allie Franklin FRAZIER (b. 1892) and Ada PHILLIPS (1889 – 1971). Margaret was born in 1922 in Ashland, the daughter of James Cyrus MILLS (1889 – 1961) and Ethel THOMPSON (1892 – 1970).

Larry Clark told me about this the other day on the phone and I forgot then Marilyn Galvan reminded me so here it is. I don't have time to explore it right now. Hope it is a great research tool. gloria ------------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.archives.gov/aad/ By EUN-KYUNG KIM, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON - Researchers, genealogists and the plain curious can now use the Internet to check more than 50 million historical records at the National Archives, from Civil War battles to family immigration files. Before the system became available, people had to either visit the Archives and spend hours combing through documents or request the files by phone and pay to have them mailed. "Now, people can pull these electronic records at their own convenience," said Michael Carlson, electronic and special media records director for the archives. "It's totally self-service from your desktop." The records available on the database system represent a small fraction of the archive's electronic holdings. They were selected because of their analytical and statistical nature - most deal with information that easily can be looked up based on specific names, dates, organizations, cities or states. For instance, someone wanting to research a great-grandfather who immigrated to the United States in the 19th century can choose the series of records listed under "immigrants," enter the relative's name and learn on what ship he traveled, the occupation he claimed prior to leaving, the date he arrived in New York, and the country from which he left, among other details. "It can be another stop in creating your family tree and understanding what happened and when," said Michael Kurtz, assistant archivist for records services. Carlson said he expects the service will be popular with veterans in particular because of all the information related to military action, casualties and POWs. The records in the new system "aren't a revelation in information, but is it helpful? Absolutely," said American Legion spokesman John Peterson after checking out the Web site. "A lot of people active with the POW/MIA issue complain the government doesn't release enough documents about people who are still missing, so almost anything they give out is good in our eyes," he said. Kristine Minami, a spokeswoman for the Japanese American Citizens League, said getting easy access to government records will provide "a lot of validation" to Japanese Americans who were sent to internment camps during World War II. The database draws from the records of 20 federal agencies. Most of the information was created by the agencies to suit their own program needs, without any thought to its historical significance. Because of that, some records have typographical errors like misspelled names or an inaccurate dates. National Archives officials did not correct any of the information to preserve the records' integrity. Shirley Langdon Wilcox, former president of the National Genealogical Society, called the new system an "extremely useful and exciting" tool. "This certainly gives you enough of an idea of what might be available to you so you know what to weed out before taking a trip somewhere," she said. Anytime you have a tool that can make yourself better prepared before you go to the Archives or library, it's worthwhile. You don't end up wasting an hour or two looking at whether they have something, because you've done your homework.

Susan, I would love to receive what information you have. My e-mail is diddyw@bayou.com. Elaine

Frances, There was an Archie H. C. Frasier listed in 1920 census of Abilene Texas. He was born in Mississippi. Archie H. C. Frasier, age 38 Frankie Frasier, wife, age 22 Vernon Frasier, age 10 Bernice Frasier, age 8 Ruby Frasier, age 6 Would this be your Archie Frasier? There was another one listed in Matagora, Texas in 1930. He was 46 and listed as from Arkansas. His wife's name was Zilla, and she was age 42. Children: Estelle, age 22, Weldon, Age 14 and Gerlaine, age 3. Hope this helps you in your research. Elaine

Frances, I don't have an Archie Frazier listed in my Gedcom. I wish I could be more help to you on this, but so far haven't come across anything. If I do, I will relate. Elaine

Joyce, thanks for the input. Ann did not have a child named Samuel Frazier, so I don't feel this is one and the same. She allegedly is buried in Barbour County, but I don't know where. Some of Lewis(Ann's oldest son and my great-great-grandfather) and his wife, Martha's, children settled in Texas, but none were named Samuel. Elaine
