It is not clear at this time if Jane is a daughter. We do know that Jane had died before 1850 leaving 2 daughters. Since James died intestate, these granddaughters would have been legal heirs IF they were alive or IF they could be found. It is not known at this time where they were in 1872. Jane may be a daughter of William and Sally Frazier. In the 1830 census for Sally there is an unidentified female who could be Jane. In the 1840 census for James we find 2 females believed to be Jane and Lucinda. Since Sally died before 1840, it is entirely possible that Jane was living with her uncle James until her marriage to William Asher. ---------------------------- James served in the War of 1812 as a Pvt in Capt Simeon Perry's Co, SevierCo, TN.

Other marriages:Frazier, Rebecca
It is not clear at this time if Jane is a daughter. We do know that Jane had died before 1850 leaving 2 daughters. Since James died intestate, these granddaughters would have been legal heirs IF they were alive or IF they could be found. It is not known at this time where they were in 1872. Jane may be a daughter of William and Sally Frazier. In the 1830 census for Sally there is an unidentified female who could be Jane. In the 1840 census for James we find 2 females believed to be Jane and Lucinda. Since Sally died before 1840, it is entirely possible that Jane was living with her uncle James until her marriage to William Asher. ---------------------------- James served in the War of 1812 as a Pvt in Capt Simeon Perry's Co, SevierCo, TN.
