--------------------

Given the information in Falvey Frayser's will, his family were the children of William Frayser at West Point. He was a ship builder and built ships for the Virginia State Navy, one of which was the "Tempest." There is much in the old Williamsburg Gazette regarding the ferry and the business activities of the Frazers.

William Frazer, Jr. who in 1759 was issued a patent to 900 acres of land from Thomas Mallory's estate, lying on the Mattaponi River below Madison's Creek, the patent for which was registered in the Secretary's Office in Williamsburg in Land Patent Book No 33 page 547. By 1774, Frazer operated a ferry across the Mattaponi between his Ordinary at Wakema in King William and the opposite bank near King and Queen Courthouse. At one time Fraser's Ferry was manually pulled by mules on each side, from the King William side to the King and Queen side of the Mattaponi River.

Later, Frazer built a warehouse at Wakema to inspect tobacco. In the summer of 1781, Frazer's shipyard on the Mattaponi built flatboats for General LaFayette for use in the American Revolution.

George Washington mentions in his diary for May 1768, "Set of from Colo. Bassetts for Nomony. Crossd over to Claibornes from thence by Frazers Ferry to Hobs hole dining at Webbs Ordinary." Nomini was a Westmoreland County neighborhood clustered around Nomini Creek, which emptied into the Potomac River about 12 miles below Washinton's birthplace at Pope's Creek. From Claiborne's ferry, his party rode through King William County to cross the Mattaponi River at William Frazier's (many spellings) ferry. They then proceeded almost due north through King and Queen County, crossing into Essex County where they stopped in the afternoon for dinner at Webb?s tavern (for the Webb family of Essex County.

A petition to Virginia General Assembly by John Frazer, Jr., executor & son of William Frazer, deceased, who was employed by the Navy Board in 1776 with John Roane to furnish supplied to the builders of ships of war on the Mattaponi River, asking for the relief from debts accrued by testator (King William Co. - 1787/11/22 & 1788/11/04).

In medieval times, the trade or following of an individual came to be used as a surname and many of these are still in common use, e.g. Smith, Baker, Taylor, etc. In other cases such as a member of a profession or a freehold landowner the place of origin was added after the name, particularly if the individual travelled or was known away from his locality. Thus in the thirteenth century some few villagers would have been known as, for example, ... de Harwell or more correctly de Harewell as the present spelling did not come into general use until the seventeenth century.

John de Harewell (1320 -1386) was born in the village, the son of a freeholder, and having studied at Oxford University he became a priest. In the service of the Black Prince he rose to become Governor of Aquitaine in southwest France during the Hundred Years War and finally Bishop of Bath and Wells. A stone effigy lies on his table tomb in Wells Cathedral.

John de Harewell following the priesthood, of course had no issue. It is to his brother Roger who married an heiress from Wootton Wawen in Warwickshire, that the direct lineage has been uncovered. Several branches of the family were known in the early seventeenth century in Coventry, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Evesham and Suffolk.

A Thomas Foulk Harewell abandoned the impoverished family home at Besford, near Worcester, and sailed with his brother in 1636 as colonists to Virginia, from where the family eventually spread across the southern states of America.

George Nelson, Lord Mayor of London was born in about 1709. He was a member and later both one of the three wardens and then Master (in 1767) of the Grocer's Company, one of the celebrated London Livery companies and Alderman of Aldersgate ward from 12 Aug 1755 before being made Sheriff on 24 Jun 1757 and then elected Lord Mayor of London on 28 Sep 1765 at the Guildhall. He was married twice, the second time to Mary Bell, daughter of Humphrey Bell Esq., an eminent Virginia merchant. (London Magazine and Gentleman's Quarterly). Humphrey left him some 1395 acres of land in his will in 1757, which George Nelson sold to Thomas Coleman of Spotsylvania Co. Virginia on 1 Oct 1759.

His only son was also called George, and became common cryer of the City. The office of Common Cryer and Sergeant-at-Arms may be the oldest of the three ceremonial offices. The Common Cryer and Sergeant-at-Arms carries the Great Mace of Government before the Lord Mayor. The office was established well before 1338 when it was held by one of the King's Serjeant-at-Arms. In 1419 the title held by the mace bearer was Common Sergeant-at-Arms of the City, otherwise called the Common Cryer. He had a salary of sixty shillings a year, robes, fees from the Alderman and Sheriffs and a "sufficient horse" for the honour of the City. By 1559 the current title was in use.

George jnr. died on 9 Mar 1797 but was married and his son, also called George became the curate of St. Andrew's Church in Chedworth, Gloucestershire where he died on 16 Nov 1811. He is commemorated by a monument in the church. (European Magazine and London Review).

George Nelson snr. died in Bath on 23 Nov 1766.

He was buried in the chancel of St. Nicholas Cole Abbey on 4 Dec 1766.

There is a tablet to him and "also the body of Mary his second wife."

Obituary of James C. H. Christian.

Source: Rock Port Atchison County Journal. 30 March 1900, p. 5., col. 4.

James C. H. Christian was born at Newport, Tennesee, March 30, 1833; died at his home near Tarkio, Missouri, March 17, 1900. He came to this county in 1852 and lived here for forty-eight years. In 1857, he was married to Miss Mary Tate. Six children were born to them, four sons and two daughters. The sons are all still living and are well known to Tarkio people. One daughter, Sophia, departed this life Dec 2, 1891. The other daughter, Maggie, with her mother, still lives to mourn his loss.

Mr. Christian had never formally united with any church but he loved God as his father and distinctly confessed his faith in Jesus Christ as his Savior. He was a kind and loving father and was greatly loved and respected by all who knew him as a neighbor or friend. He will be greatly missed by a large circle of relatives and friends, and in the community generally, as a man in whom all who knew him had the fullest confidence.

The funeral service was held at the family residence, conducted by Rev. Duncan Brown, assisted by Rev. Pearson and Dr. J. A. Thompson. A very large congregation of friends and neighbors were present and a long line of carriages followed the body to its last resting place in the beautiful Tarkio Home Cemetary.

The passing of such men as J. C. H. Christian thins the ranks of a class of men of sterling character who formed the rank and file of the pioneers of Atchison County, few of whom remain, but they have left their impression for good upon the rising generation. Their early lives were filled with the cares, toils and hardships of frontier life, but they were helpful, honest, law-abiding, and true to their conviction of right, and withall their lines were cast in pleasant places.

Their memory will be cherished by all who knew them. May their good qualities of heart and mind be emulated.

Obituary for Mary Ann Tate Christian.

Source: Tarkio Avalanche. 3 June 1921. p.1. col.5.

Mrs. Mary A. Christian died at her home, Wednesday morning, May 25, 1921, after several weeks illness. Mary Ann Tate was born near Monticello, Wayne County, Kentucky, January 13, 1828, and came to Missouri with her parents when 11 years of age. They settled on the homestead northwest of Tarkio in 1851 and this was her home for 70 years.

On February 5th, 1857, she was united in holy wedlock with James C. H. Christian, who was laid away twenty-one years ago. Mrs. Christian was well known throughout the community as a kind and hospitable neighbor; and many will feel her loss keenly. She was a member of the Presbyterian Church of Tarkio.

Obituary for Thomas Tate Christian.

Source: Tarkio Avalanche. 4 May 1923. p.1. col. 1-2.

Funeral services for T. T. Christian, until last summer a resident of this community, were held Tuesday afternoon, May 1st, the remains having arrived in Tarkio Monday morning.

Mr. Christian was born in Atchison County on October 29, 1863 and had lived all his life until last year, when he sold the old homestead four and one-half miles northwest of Tarkio and removed with his family to Monte Vista, Colorado, near which place he engaged again in farming and the raising of fine hogs. An attack of influenza last fall considerably weakened his physical condition, and a later attack of intestinal influenza resulted in his death after an illness of about a week.

He had an unusually wide acquaintance throughout Atchison County and an enviable number of friends to whom his unfailing good humor and jovial disposition typified the character of this man. Possessed of definite convictions on any subject in which he was interested and a willingness to express them on occasion, he was always a force for good in any worthwhile community project. He served as a member of the Council of Defense during the World War and gave much of his time in the interest of good roads, serving as Road Supervisor of his district for many years.

To the scores of Atchison County folks who were his friends, the news of his going was real cause for sadness, introducing as it did upon their rememberance of him as a vigorous, active personage in the life of the community during all the years of his residence here. The esteem and affection in which he was universally held was witnessed by the many floral tributes which banked the altar of the Church, draped the bier, and make beautiful the last resting place in the Home Cemetary. That he was held in the same esteem in the Colorado home was evidenced by the many flowers sent with the body by friends there and by the large audience at the short funeral service held there before bringing the remains to Tarkio.

It was typical of the man and in accordance with his wishes that the friends remain at the cemetary until the grave had been filled and the mound covered with evergreens and flowers for he had never been willing to leave those last rites to be performed for his own friends by strangers.

Following a short prayer service at the home of Mr. Christian's life long friend and neighbor, H. R. Prather, where the body was taken in its arrival here, the casket was removed to the Presbyterian Church where the funeral services were conducted by Dr. J. A. Thompson, assisted by Rev. C. W. Halsey. The church auditorium and the Sunday school rooms were filled by those seeking to do honor to the memory of one whom they had known and respected. The pallbearers, all friends and business associates, were J. E. Travis, E. N. Raines, F. S. Travis, H. R. Prather, James McCollister, and W. L. Salmon. A quartette composed of Mrs. B.O. Dobler, Mrs. C.E. Munn, Glenn Crosen, and Henry Hey sang, "O Love That Will Not Let Me Go" and "Thy Will Be Done". Mr. Hey sang, "The Lord is my Shepherd", an arrangement of the 23rd Psalm.

Thomas Tate Christian was born October 29th, 1863 in Atchison County. He died April 27th, 1923 near Monte Vista, Colorado. He was a student in Tarkio College during its first year, 1883-1884. He married Nellie A. Robertson of Tarkio on November 30th, 1892. Into the home came two children, Helen, now Mrs. Kyle Peterson of Unionville, Missouri and Thomas Ralph, who had been in the Colorado home with his parents. In addition to his wife and two children, Mr. Christian left behind two little grandsons, the children of his daughter, two brothers, C.F. Christian, of Newman's Grove, Nebraska and J.E. of Pine River, Minnesota and one sister, Margaret, in Tarkio.

While still young, Mr. Christian united with the First Presbyterian Church of Tarkio and continued in its active membership for thirty-five years.

It was the regret of Mr. Christian's life that he did not remain in college in accordance with his father's expressed desire to complete the course of studies. His daughter fulfilled her father's desire but the son was prevented as so many other young men by the part he was called upon by the World War.

Mr. Christian's life was in the home and with his neighbors. In his home, he was always distinguished for the love and kindness which he radiated. His children say they have no memory of an unkind work spoken in the home. His neighbors are here to indicate their appreciation of what he was to them. Little children were his dearest friends. A young girl who had known him as Uncle Tom from babyhood said when she heard of his death, "I have lost the best friend I ever had."

Biography of Albert Casey

Source: The History of Holt and Atchison Counties, Missouri. National Historical Co., St. Joseph, MO., 1882, pp. 877-8.

Albert Casey, section 35, was born in Nova Scotia, in August, 1836. His father, Edward Casey, came to Missouri and settled in this county near Phelps, in 1849. He bought a claim and improved a farm, and the boys although young, worked hard with their father to make a good home. Mrs. Casey was formerly Jeanette Hunter, a sister of Uncle Billy and Jimmy Hunter, who were among the oldest settlers here. They were married in Nova Scotia, in 1835, and had 15 children, six now living: Albert, Levi, Lafayette, Miram, Annie, Mary (now Mrs. James M. Scammon). Hiram, a young man, was killed in a well. In 1868,

Albert married Miss Lydia Tate, the daughter of Judge Samuel B. Tate, who was from Kentucky. He settled in the county in 1849. He married Miss Jane Sloan, in Kentucky: they had 11 children, six of whom are living: Cecelia, James and Samuel (twins), Charles, Mary, Margaret and Lydia. Mr. and Mrs. Casey have but one child: Don Guy, born June 19, 1871.

Mr. Casey subsequently moved upon his farm of eighty acres, which he improved: it is easy to work and sure of crop, and it is situated on the old bed of the Missouri: very little of it washes. Mr. Casey is a general favorite with everybody and is candid and reliable. Fifty yards from his door is the landing, where steamboats used to stop for wood, and now what was once the bed of the immense Missouri River, is a pasture for stock.

He enlisted in the Confederate Army, State Guards, Second Regiment, during the war, and was with General Price for 11 months, when he entered the battery service. He lost an eye at the Battle of Three Creeks in Arkansas.

He is a member of the M. E. Church, south, and is Democratic in his political views. In 1853, Mr. Casey went to California and was engaged for some time in the mines, and in herding cattle. This was his first trip from home and he experienced a severe time in the cold winter, crossing the mountains.

She was a member of the prominent Leigh family; her father, Thomas, was rector at All Souls College, Oxford, where she grew up among the gentry. Her eldest brother James inherited a fortune and large estate from his great-aunt Perrot, with the only condition that he change his name to Leigh-Perrot.

The two were engaged, probably around 1763 when they exchanged miniatures. George received the living at the Steventon parish through Thomas Knight, the wealthy husband of his second cousin, who owned Steventon and its associated farms, one of which the Austen family rented to live in. Cassandra's father died in Bath in February, 1764; two months later Cassandra and George married on 26 April 1764 at St Swithin's Church in Bath, by license, in a simple ceremony, leaving immediately for Hampshire. Their income was modest, with only George's small per annum living; Cassandra brought only the expectation of a small inheritance at the time of her mother's death to the marriage.

They took up residence at the nearby Deane rectory, because Steventon's was more than a century old, unfit to live in until it underwent renovations. Their first three children were born in quick succession at Deane: James in 1765, George in 1766, and Edward in 1767. After several months at home Cassandra placed them with Elizabeth Littlewood, a woman living nearby to nurse and raise them for twelve to eighteen months, a custom followed for all their children. The family moved to Steventon in 1768, where Henry was born in 1771. At about this time it became clear to the children's mother that George, who was developmentally disabled, subject to seizures, and may have been deaf, had to be sent out to be fostered.[24] Cassandra was born in 1773, followed by Francis in 1774 and Jane in 1775.

The family relied on the patronage of their kin and hosted visits from numerous family members. From 1773 until 1796, George Austen supplemented this income by farming and by teaching three or four boys at a time, who boarded at his home.
