Thanks to Joanna, she got Richard and me talking. That lead to a new BigY being ordered. That means that two new Frazer\/Frazier BigY 700’s are in the pipeline right now. I wrote about the previous new BigY here<\/a>. That previous test was for Rick and this one is for Richard.<\/p>\n

Richard’s Previous YDNA Testing<\/h2>\n

Richard has tested test to the 37 STR level and matches my second cousin Paul at that level:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Rick is in the first orange box and Richard in the second orange box. They are both considered to be R-M198 by FTDNA. Rick has tested to 111 STRs. Rick is a fairly close relative to Paul in terms of YDNA. He is a third cousin once removed:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The exciting thing about Richard is that we don’t know how he is related. We are hoping that the BigY 700 will shed some light on that. So far, on the above chart, Paul, Rodney and Jonathan have taken the BigY 500 test. Rick and Richard will be the first to take the BigY 700 test. The good thing about the BigY 700 test is that it is more accurate and tests for more SNPs. SNPs are what we are looking for to define the Frazer lines on the YDNA Tree.<\/p>\n

I also wrote a Blog on Richard’s results back in 2018<\/a> when he first had his YDNA tested. At that time, I concluded that Frasher and Frizelle were related to the North Roscommon Frazers.<\/p>\n

On this chart:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I notice that some are classified as R-M198 and some are R-M512. As far as I can tell, there is no distinction between these two Haplogroups:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My guess is that R-M512 was the older names because those that have that designation tested in 2015. The date for these two haplogroups is about 6,500 B.C. From an older Blog I wrote, our branch of Frazers are on the Germanic side:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, this is a tree from about 4 years ago. A lot has happened since then. S2880 is the last Haplogroup on our Frazer Line showing on this tree. According to YFull:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

S2880 formed about 3700 years ago. That gave our Germanic Frazer ancestors plenty of time to make their way to what is now Scotland. These are the dates that YFull has for our present-day Frazer BigY testers:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Richard in the Fraser and Septs Project<\/h2>\n

Richard has joined the Fraser and Septs Project. In that Project, the R1a Frasers\/Frazers, etc are in the minority. Most Frasers are R1b. That is because our Frazers as being Germanic were relative late comers to Scotland, having arrived perhaps around the time of Christ. Here are the results from that Project:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I have only gone to the 37 STR level as that is what Richard tested to. The administrators of Fraser and Septs placed Richard in with our North Roscommon Frazers:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First is Rodney from my tree above, then Jonathan, then Richard, Rick and Paul.<\/p>\n

Richard’s Family Tree<\/h2>\n

I think that I found Richard’s tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This tree starts with Richard’s grandfather. I am mostly interested in the Frazier\/Frasher line as that is what YDNA looks at. I think that other Frazers that descend from the Frazers of North Roscommon, Ireland may be interested also. At this point, I usually try and do my own tree to see if it comes out the same way. At best, this will be a second opinion. I don’t have the time to go into it in great detail, but may find out if the tree is obvious or if there are problem points.<\/p>\n

Richard’s grandfather is found in the 1920 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

His father, Frank was the enumerator:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Frank and his father were both born in Tennessee according to the 1920 Census. Here is Dickson to the West of Nashville:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Frank Frazier<\/h3>\n

I think that this is Frank in the 1900 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly, this family is listed as Frasher. This is consistent with Frank’s death record which has his mother as Mary Graham born in Pennsylvania:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Interestingly, the marriage record spells the name Frasher also:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Morgan and Anderson Frazier\/Frasher<\/p>\n

Here is Anderson Frasher with his large family on the farm in Dickson:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here Morgan is William M. It helps that the family lived in Dickson for so long. here is the family in 1870. Now Anderson just has initials none of which are ‘A’:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Findagrave has Anderson’s name as William Pellen Frasher:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This appears to reconcile the names:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the name is Frasher on the stone:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a photo of W.P.A. that I found from an Ancestry Tree:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This was a Southern family and W.P.A. served for the Confederate army during the Civil War as a blacksmith. He was also a prisoner of war.<\/p>\n

David Frazier\/Frasher (1803-1890)<\/h3>\n

Here is W.P.A. in 1850:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

William A was a farmer in Dickson. His father was a blacksmith:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They were both born in Tennessee. From this point, without a detailed Census before 1850, tracking this family should be more difficult. The 1880 Census gives a hint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

David’s father was born in Virginia and his mother in North Carolina. His wife, Elizabeth’s parents were both born in Georgia.<\/p>\n

William Frazier\/Frasher<\/h3>\n

All the Ancestry trees have William as the father of David. When I put in William Frazier as the father of David at Ancestry I get 7 hints Here is one from 1828:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It appears to me that the Frazier\/Frasher name was phonetically spelled. Here we have a combination that came out as Frashier. This was in Hickman County. Hickson is quite close to Dickson:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In the record above, George Harvell is listed as an assignee of William Frashier. I am not sure what this meant. It seems like land was granted to William, but he gave it George? This seems to be our William Frasher due to the proximity to Dickson County. Here is the 8th District mentioned in the land record above:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, there was a William Frasher listed in the 1790 Census for Randolph, North Carolina:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is Randolph, NC:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the 1830 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The simple interpretation is that William was between 60 and 69 and that his wife was between 50 and 59. It is likely that he was living with his four sons and one daughter. It appears that his son David was not included here as he is listed elsewhere on the Dickson 1830 Census:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a good land deal in Hickman. One cent per acre for 100 acres:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a portion of some tax records for Hickman:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The left part is cut off, but it looks like there is a David, William and Robert Frasher listed there.\u00a0 My thinking is that Frasher was a fairly rare name. Meanwhile, in Dickson the tax record has a William Frasher and a David Frazier:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, none of this shows that William was the father of David. I suppose it must be from family tradition.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Back in 1827, there was a William Frashier buying land in White County at 12 and a half cents per acre:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

White County is to the East of Nashville:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is an 1825 tax record for White County:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps Thomas, William, Alexander Senior and Junior and Munford were related.<\/p>\n

Summary and Conclusions<\/h2>\n
