John Frazer a son of David Frazer, was born August 1, 1818, and is now living on the old farm on which his father settled in 1810. He is a well-to-do farmer, and besides his farm here he has a large amount of land in the western states. He has never married, but lives with his sister, Jane, a maiden lady, who has remained at the old home and place of their birth. They were a family of eight children. I will give the names of the remainder: Palina, now living in Erie, Penn.; James died in 1838, Elizabeth died long since, David died at West Sparta a few years since, Wm. G. is now living in Iowa, Minerva is now living at West Sparta, and is married to a man by the name of Canada.
The correct surname spelling is Frazer without an i not Frazier. Like in the article you are making reference .
Thank you

Nice catch! I updated the title with the correct spelling.
An Emily Frazier (spelled with the i) is listed on my great great grandfather’s death certificate as his mother. Also is mentioned a number of times as the wife of Madison James Wells, my great great great grandfather. Madison James lived in Springwater, Livingston Cty, New York in 1849. There is online mention of a David FRazer and a John Frazer living Springwater, New York possibly at that time. I am wondering if there is a connection.
