Hi Frazier researchers! Again, not my family (at least not directly, though I do think that there is a link!) This is from a history of the Methodist Church (I am sorry that I do not have the source). Methodism caught hold hard on the "Eastern Shore" of Maryland. My ancestors, who I believe were from Kent Co.,MD. were very strong Methodists, at least once they got west. There is a George Frazier family in Hubbard and Trumball County Ohio, which I believe may be related to the Kent Co.,MD Fraziers.... George Frazier " In the Western Reserve (Ohio), Methodism is about co-eval [contemporary] with the earliest settlement of the country. The first society was formed in Deerfield, in 1801, by a few persons who had emigrated from Massachusetts, namely, Lewis Day, Lewis Ely, their families, and a few others. The next year a society was formed, in th e town of Hubbard, at GEORGE FRAZIER'S, an emigrant from the Eastern Shore of Maryland . In the same year, Henry Shaul, an exhorter, and afterward a local preacher, moved from Georgetown, Pa., having previously traveled nearly forty miles though the woods to visit the brethren in that place, and settled in the town of Deerfield. About the same time William Veach and Amos Smith, local preachers, settled in Hubbard, and helped to build up the society; and Obed Crosby, a local preacher, established himself in the town of Vernon. These opened the way for the introduction of Methodism in the Western Reserve."
