<\/a><\/p>\nThis was a pretty quick and dirty tree and I used mostly Ancestry hints to get out this far. I was worried I wouldn’t find a connection. Then Mary Fraser showed up:<\/p>\n
My guess is that Mary is the one to follow. She has 16 Ancestry hints. In this Civil War Pension record, she is Mary M McKay:<\/p>\n Every initial is potentially important in following Mary’s trail.<\/p>\n Here is the 1860 Census:<\/p>\n This helps us trace the McKay family geographically. This means that the family should have been in Canada between 1846 and 1853.<\/p>\n Bell above is Isabella. She seems to have been born in Warwick, Canada:<\/p>\n That opens the door to Canada:<\/p>\n Above is my best guess for Warwick.<\/p>\n Here is another interesting record from Warwick:<\/p>\n Apparently a John Stewart Fraser McKay was also born to Hugh and Mary M McKay in the town of Ancaster in 1850. From what I can tell, this is Ancaster:<\/p>\n That gives us a short chronology for the Hugh McKay family. The family is living in Ancaster outside of Hamilton in September 1850 when John Stewart Frazer is born. The Ontario 1851 Census doesn’t happen until January 1852. We don’t know where the family was living at that time. Isabella McKay is born June 1853 in Warwick, Ontario. The family is still in Warwick when both children are baptized in April 1854 at a Wesleyan Methodist Church by the Reverend George Case.<\/p>\n The naming of John Stewart Fraser McKay seems to be a clue as to Mary’s background:<\/p>\n Mary states that she was born in New York, but I wonder. I think that she was born in County Roscommon, Ireland. Here is one guess for her birth:<\/p>\n Here is an online view of Mary:<\/p>\n Although the date seems to fit for Mary, I was expecting her to be from the James Line of Frazers due to the shared DNA match between Patrice and myself. I have that the Mary from Roscommon would be from the Archibald Line under John Frazer. This is what I have so far for DNA matches on that line:<\/p>\n My guess is that Mary could fit in between John Frazer and William Frazer above.<\/p>\n Patrice, Susan and I have shared DNA matches. That does not mean that we share the same ancestors. For that to happen, I would need to show triangulation which is not possible with Ancestry results. I have two Archibald Frazer Line ancestors and one James Line Ancestor. My match to Susan is on the James Line. It looks like my match to Patrice is on the Archibald Line. Patrice may match Susan distantly on the Frazer side or more closely on a non-Frazer line.<\/p>\n In my pink DNA\/genealogy chart above, I have brothers John and William Frazer. I have that John was probably in Canada in 1849 and in Niagara County, New York in 1851. That was my explanation why I couldn’t find him in the Canadian 1851 Census nor in the US Census of 1850. Perhaps Mary took a similar route. John spent most of his time in Lockport, New York.<\/p>\n When William married in 1863, he was living in Tecumseth Township, Ontario. In 1871 William and family were in Gwillimbury West, Ontario. Here is a map:<\/p>\n Mary was living in Ancaster in 1850. John was in Canada in 1849 but moved probably to Lockport by 1851 and was in Lockport, NY in 1855. William was in Tecumseth in 1863 when he married Mary Jane Wilson.<\/p>\n Ancestry has provided me with this additional ThruLine:<\/p>\n Here ThruLines did something that I would consider doing. It found a match between me and Bob and matched our two trees together based on an available Anne I had in my tree on the John Frazer Branch. I was having trouble placing this McPartland Branch. My most recent guess had them on the James Line:<\/p>\n I can see some arguments for having the McPartlands under the Archibald Line and John Frazer Branch:<\/p>\n I see that I am missing Bob from the McPartland tree above. So I need to add him in:<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nTrying to Place Mary Fraser in the Frazer Family<\/h2>\n
