Dear Alicia; I received the Frazier Digest VOO #43 with your request for information on Joseph FRAZIER. Unfortunately, I do not have any information on him as it seems you are searching PA. The name Denison did ring a bell so I thought I would share my Denison-Frazier connection. Ada is a daughter but not direct, as I am descended from her brother, John Nelson FRAZIER who moved to Colorado after Civil War. Jasper Denison birth of April 1863 from 1900 Terre Haute, Vigo Co., Indiana Census. O FHL Film 1,240,409 p. 14. Parents born NY and IN. Jasper Denison married 11 years to Ada Adolphine FRAZIER. Ada Adolphine FRAZIER 24 Jul 1859 in Felicity, Clermont Co. OH daughter of Gustavus B. 1818/19 and Sarah Ann (SARGENT) FRAZIER. I do not think this helps.
