Note for: Alexander Frazier, ABT 1685 - 12 NOV 1750 Index

Individual Note:
Our immigrant ancestor was Alexander Frazier, who was born about 1685 in Scotland. Alexander Jr. was an Ulster Scot, and the first to emigrate to America sometime before 1706. The earliest records found for him was a land deed in Kennett Township dated 12 Nov 1706. Deeds were also found for land he owned in New Castle Co, DE, and for land on Dogwood Run on Yellow Britches Creek on the west side of the Susquehanna River in Lancaster Co, PA. He was on the Kennett tax rolls in 1715, and served as the township Constable that same year.

Alexander married Sarah Coppock 02/07/1716 at West Kennett Twp.,Chester County, Pa. Alexander and Sarah had eight children that we know of: Alexander,Jr. ,Aaron, James, Mary, Sarah, Moses, Miriam, and John. The first three children of Alexander were born at New Castle County,Del. The rest were born in Chester County,Pa. The distance between the two is minimum and boundary not well set. They may never have moved. The boundary just resurveyed.

Alexander was a Quaker, but often in trouble with the church. He was reprimanded several times for fighting with neighbors, and in 1719 was dismissed from the Kennett Meeting for abusing his wife. He was not readmitted until 28 years later, in Feb 1747.

Alexander's will was dated 08/31/l750, Chester County, Pa. By will, he left 200 acres each to sons Moses and John in Chester county, 200 acres each to sons Aaron and Alexander and 100 acres to son James in Lancaster county on Yellow Britches Creek. He left his daughter Mary 15 pounds and a brass kettle. His children Sarah, Miriam, Moses and John to share equally in money from the sale of land in Delaware. He gave his daughter Miriam a horse and a featherbed on the condition she "behave well and marry a Quaker". The will noted his sons Moses and John were then under 21. Alexander died Nov/Dec 1750 at Newark Quaker Community, Chester County, Pa., and is buried there.

Sarah Coppock was born 07/12/1690 at Mobberly, Cheshire, England. Her father was Aaron Coppock and her mother was Mary Orrell. It is presumed that Sarah also died and is buried at Newark, Chester County, Pa.

Note for: Richard Waterman, ABT 1590 - 26 OCT 1673 Index

Individual Note:
     Richard Waterman emigrated from England in 1629, and first settled in SaleRichard Waterman emigrated from England in 1629, and first settled in Salem, Mass., where, according to "Original Record of Salem, from Dec. 1636 to July 12, 1637," he owned 80 acres "next to Daniel Ray," and had seven in the family. He sympathized with the religious teachings of Roger Williams and followed him to Rhode Island in 1638, and was one of the eleven baptized by him in 1638-9; but later seems to have been a member of the Friends' Society, and his death is noted on their records at Portsmouth. He was a church officer and a Colonel of the militia and left his stamp upon society as a man of more than ordinary ability. He possessed valuable property in both Warwick and Providence, and was buried on that part of his estate which now forms the southeast corner of Benefit and Waterman streets, in Providence, and where a monument was erected to him in 1840.

COMMENTS: Richard Waterman had two rather close calls with Massachusetts Bay Colony justice. First, while residing in Salem, he and his family were invited to leave 12 March 1637/8, with the other followers of Roger Williams [MBCR 1:223]. Second, during the Gorton controversy, Richard Waterman was arrested, but released on bond, 17 October 1643; he lost some of his estate and was possibly exiled upon pain of death from Massachusetts Bay Colony, having been found "erroneous, heretical, and obstinate" [MBCR 2:53-54, 73].
      He was one of the seven "loving friends" of Roger Williams, with whom he secured a grant of land from the Narragansett Indians, Williams desiring that "it might be for a shelter for persons distressed for conscience" [PrTR 5:306]. He was one of the eleven men who acquired Warwick from Miantonomi, 12 January 1642[/3] [RICR 1:131]. His service in the new plantation of Rhode Island was considerable and eventually earned him the title "Mr."
      On 24 July 1658 Richard Pray bought land "near the place where Rich[ard] Waterman's great canoe was made" [PrTR 2:17].
      Richard Waterman was credited with a household of seven in the 1637 Salem grant of marsh. This would permit all his children to be born by that date, which produces a sequence of children at variance with that generally accepted, but in better conformity with the known chronology.
BIBLIOGRAPHIC NOTE: A thorough and well-referenced discussion of the life of Richard Waterman was prepared in 1954 by Donald Lines Jacobus and Edgar Francis Waterman [The Waterman Family, Volume Three, Descendants of Richard Waterman of Providence, Rhode Island (Hartford 1954), cited herein as Waterman Gen].

Newspaper article:

Farmer, 71, Dies on Hunting Trip, Shot mangles Arm.

Schuyler Cobb, 71, farmer of near Clever, died in a hospital here early yesterday morning as the result of a shotgun wound suffered Saturday afternoon while he was hunting. Mr. Cobb, his physician said, had set the gun down to open a gate when it accidentally discharged, mangling his left arm just below the shoulder. “He was rushed here in an ambulance,” said the physician, “ but he had already lost a lot of blood. We amputated the arm and administered plasma but it was no use.” A physician from Billings, who accompanied the Maples Funeral Home ambulance which brought Mr. Cobb to Springfield, said the elderly man was hunting alone and had lain wounded in the field for some time before anyone found him. Mr. Cobb is survived by his wife, Phoebe; one daughter, Mrs. Felice Watkins of Clever; one brother, David of Atlanta, GA; and one sister, Mrs. Nora Spencer of North Carolina. Funeral services will be held tomorrow in the Clever Methodist Church with burial in the Frazier Chapel Cemetery under direction of Maples of Clever.
