Dear List: I'm new to the list today and wanted to say Hello and get acquainted. I am descended from some of the early settlers of Augusta Co. My direct line ancestors were John Frazer and Isabelle Moody of Long Meadow Run. According to court records, John Frazer purchased his property in 1749 from the Beverly Patent. John Frazer, his wife Isabelle, and his 2 brothers-in-law, James and Robert Moody, were probably in the area before 1740. I don't know exactly when they arrived, but James Moody had purchased his property by 1740 according to the Beverly Patent. They supposedly came from PA when the land in the valley was made available and so many Scotch-Irish folk settled the Upper Valley area, leaving the Moody parents, Robert and Isabelle, behind for the wilderness. Some of their children were baptized by Rev. Craig at the Tinkling Spring Presbyterian Church in the mid 1740s. John was a constable and worked on the road with his brother in law several times. He was killed by some accident prior to 1758 when his wife Isabelle is called Widow Frasure in the estate John Craig. The children, Samuel, James, John and John, Sr.'s widow, Isabelle, are shown on the list of subscribers for the church in 1765-1770, living in the Lower Quarter of Christian's Creek. John and Ann Frazer, the younger children of John and Isabelle, inherited the property of their uncle Robert Moody and were involved with a long law suit with the heirs of James Moody for the estate. John and his wife, Jennett Gay, had a son, Samuel C. Frazer, who moved his family to WV around 1799 and established my family line in Fraziers Bottom, Putnam County, WV. I would love to make contact with any researchers who share heritage or have information about the Frazers, Moodys, Gays, Craigs and other early families. Nice to meet you all, Constance Frazier Flagg Spring, KY
