Howdy Frazier Cousins, This list has been fairly quiet, lately, so I though I would post some Frazier information that someone (Robbie Fields Tanner) recently sent me. It is from a book/manuscript written by Dr. Wilgus Bach/Back nearly 70 years ago. Dr. Back collected vital genealogy statistics on thousands of people in southeastern Kentucky, including the Frazier family. He died of strep throat at the age of 49 on April 28, 1936. Robbie was so kind to type up this information for me, as well as, information on the Maggard family. She made copies from the manuscript kept at the University of KY Lexington Genealogy Library. She said that the manuscript contains several hundred pages and has information on many southeastern Kentucky families. The information is not very detailed (ie. no dates are given) but it may help someone connect their Frazier line. I know I found a few "diamonds in the rough" myself. :) Robbie said that she typed the information exactly as it was in the manuscript. Enjoy. Brian K.

Of these sons all of whom had reached maturity, three decided to answer the call of the west, so Squire Frazier married Luza Haney, and crossed over the Cumberland Mountains into Kentuckky, taking up his home just above Whitesburg. Jonathan Frazier married Betsy Banks in Virginia, and they settled near the home of Squire, on the North Fork of the Kentucky River near Whitesburg. John Frazier, better known as Jack Frazier, came on down the Kentucky River and stopped for a while with the Haddix families located just above the mouth of Troublesome on the North Fork, and he married the daughter of Billie Haddix, her name was Hannah Haddix, and Jack Frazier and his wife lived in that vicinity for many years - later he moved on to the Joseph Bach farm near the mouth of Quicksand. So far as I am able to line the two families, I will trace their lineage until one may be able to follow the ancestry with little trouble. l. Squire Frazier m. Luza Haney, and came to Letcher. 2.
