FRAZIER, John and Elizabeth - Fountain County INGenWeb Project

In 1936 a Family History of the three generations of the James and Elizabeth Cade Frazier family was written by Uncle John Frazier. It was his earnest wish that a younger hand might take up the history and carry it on through the coming years. It is an honor and a pleasure to do this and I hope that I may be able to do in a manner that would be pleasing to him.
