Regarding inquiry about Willis Frasher. Sarah A. Park was the first wife of George H. Frasher. They were married shortly after George returned from the Civil War. Sarah died Jan. 29, 1879 and is buried in Lower Richwood Cemetery in Jefferson County. There is a stone. George and Sarah had only one child, a daughter Nettie, born in 1873. She died in 1912 at age 39 and is buried in Lower Richwood. There is a stone. My father, who was born in 1895, remembered his half sister, Undoubtedly she lived with George H. and Melvina after they married in 1783, at least in her early years. I have no knowledge of a Willis Frasher other than he was NOT a son of George and Sarah A. Park Frasher. I have a fairly full knowledge of Peter and Margaret Chilcoat Frasher and their four sons and four daughters, including marriages, some deaths and some children. All four sons saw considerable action in the Civil War, but George H. was the only one who survived for any appreciable time after the war. One was killed in battle. One died when kicked by a horse while still in the Army. John Bath Frasher was seriously wounded and died of those wounds in 1867. He is buried in Lower Richwood and there is a stone. He was married but not to a Park. If you would send me a postal address I would mail you a rather complete history of the Peter Frasher line and all eight children did arrive in Jefferson County sometime between 1857 and 1860. However, there are a number of other Frasher lines, some in Iowa, and if you want to pre-date the "H" that was inserted into the clan families in the Revolutionary period to designate those in favor of separation from the crown and back to the Highlands of Scotland the Frasers are more numerous than ants at an outdoor pancake supper.
