Dear Frazier Listers:      I'm new to the list today and wanted to see if anyone out there is working on my line of Fraziers. I look forward to reading the new posts from you all, since you never know who is going to provide the missing link or information needed to break through that nasty brick wall!      My Fraziers are from West Virginia (Putnam, Kanawha and Mason Counties) after the Revolutionary years. They purchased land grant acres and moved to Fraziers Bottom, WV and quickly established themselves in the area. My line is as follows from there forward:      Samuel Frazier,                      m.         Ann Gay b. Augusta Co.                                    b. Augusta Co. d. ca 1815? Fraziers Bottom               d. ca 1830 in Fraziers Bottom.                |                         |                    | Samuel Frazier    William Frazier     Allen Frazier  m. Hannah McCallister                                                             b. 1801 Mason Co. d. Nov 1861 (suicide) Putnam Co.                                                             |                                                        Allen Thomas Frazier  m. Harriet Holder                                                        b. 1829 Mason Co.                                                        d.  after 1870 Kansas?                                                   I'm particularly interested in anyone who knows more about Allen Thomas Frazier. When Harriet died in Jan 1867, he remarried to Virginia Pautha Everett and had 3 more children. Ms. Everett also has ties to the Mason Co., WV area. But the question is this:  It's been established by the 1880 Iowa census that Allen Thomas had died before 1880 as Virginia is shown in Benton Twnshp, Wayne Co. Iowa where the family was living in the 1870 Iowa census. Benton Township is where the children of both marriages, except the youngest, were born. She is called Jennie Johnston in 1880 and her two youngest children are living with her in 1880. The grandchildren of the Guy Frasier, (born in Kansas) the youngest son of Jennie and Allen Thomas, have said that Allen Thomas died in 1883 of asythma, but that doesn't work if Jennie was called Jennie Johnston, listed as head of household in 1880. My Dad's cousin has said that Allen Thomas died on the way to Kansas...It seems logical that Jennie may have remarried in Kansas when Allen Thomas died. After all, she was a young mother with 4 children from her husband's 1st marriage and 3 young children of her own. My dad always said that the older children were "farmed out" to brothers and sisters of Allen Thomas back in WV and he made it sound negative, but I think it was simple expedience. Does anyone know anything regarding Allen Thomas' date or place of death or Jennie's marriage to John Doe Johnston? Does anyone share this line of descent? After Allen Thomas the line is: David Allen. b. 1857 Wayne Co. Iowa d. Jan 1935 Red House, Putnam Co., WV married 1885 Lula Sarah Hoff. their 2nd son: David Arthur Frazier b. 17 May 1891 Red House, WV d. 10 May 1967 Poca, Putnam Co. WV married Dulcie Altha Spence b. 1897 Confidence, Putnam Co., WV d. 1964 Frazier Family Farm, Poca, Putnam Co., WV. Their 2nd son: James Arthur Frazier b. 5 Nov 1920 Red House, WV d. 23 Jun 1991 Huntington, Wayne Co., WV married Marilyn Jean Moore (Living) their 5th child: Constance Leigh Frazier (living) c'est moi! Sorry for the long post, but hey, maybe it will help someone out there who is looking for something I have??? Look forward to hearing from you all, Constance Frazier
