2. | James FRAZER (son of Richard FRAZER?); died on 15 Jan 1835. Notes:
A clue to James Frazer's parents has come from recent autosomal DNA testing. We match on a portion of chromosome 12 with a group of people who are known to descend from Richard Frazer, born ca. 1777 [ a relevant blog is at http://www.jmhartley.com/HBlog/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Archibald-Line-Chart.jpg]. This Frazer line was in Aghrafinigan in County Roscommon. Richard Frazer had several children, including a James, of whom no data is presently known. More is known about some of Richard's other children and their descendants. Richard's parents are said to be Archibald Frazer (ca. 1743) and Mary Lilley. A web page of Frazer ancestors is at http://jmhartley.com/Frazer/frazerupd0001.htm.
The names and birthdates of the children of James and Elizabeth Frazer are taken from their son John's family bible. On another page of the same bible is the inscription " James Frazer Departed this Life January the 15th 1835."
That bible also had a page with the following:
"Mary Ann Caruthers, her book dated this 18th day of July, 1836",
and on another page:
"Sarah Caruther, Robert Caruthers".
A James Frazer is listed as occupying lot 23, concession VI (west side of Huron St.) in the 1843 Chingacousy Township assessment roll, according to the book "people of Peel".
James married ELIZABETH. died in UNKNOWN. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
