She was married to Henry STOCKWELL.⁽⁵²⁾ Marriage inferred from fact that Henry and Isobel are listed as the parents of three children in the Scottish church records. Children were: Elizabeth STOCKWELL, Henrietta STOCKWELL, David STOCKWELL.

Eliza EVAN⁽⁵³⁾⁽⁴²⁾ was born about 1840. Her birth date is based on her age at death, though the 1851 Abersychan census suggests she may have been born 2 or 3 yrs. earlier. She died on 5 Dec 1891 in Blaenavon, Monmouthshire, Wales.⁽⁵⁴⁾ She was buried on 10 Dec 1891 in St. Peters Churchyard, Blaenavon.⁽⁴²⁾ According to Rosie Stierwalt, this wife is the servant, 14 year old Eliza Evans, who is shown living with the Moses Witchell family in Trevethin in the 1851 census. At the time of her death she was living at 3 Burford Street, Blaenavon.

She was married to Moses WITCHELL after 1886. This date is based on the death of his first wife in April 1887.

Angelina G. FRAZER⁽⁴⁰⁾ was born in Ireland?.⁽⁴⁰⁾ When William Frazer died in 1901, this daughter was in Enniskillen, County Fermanagh, Ireland. She was also there in 1904. Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and UNKNOWN.

She was married to Unknown LAW.

Archibald FRAZER was born in 1858 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁵⁾ He died on 4 Jan 1879 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁶⁾ He was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and Julia UNKNOWN.

Archibald FRAZER died about 13 Oct 1918. This information is based on the index to the sacramento Union which shows Oct 14, 1918 (pg. 4) as the date of Archibald's obituary. Parents: Edward F. FRAZER and Ida WILSON.

Edward F. FRAZER⁽⁴⁰⁾⁽⁵⁷⁾⁽⁵⁸⁾ was born in 1862/63 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁹⁾⁽⁶⁰⁾ He died on 14 Jul 1910 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁸⁾ He was buried on 17 Jul 1910 in East Lawn Cemetery, Sacramento, CA..⁽⁵⁸⁾ In the 1879/80 Sacramento City Directory, Edward is listed as a student at Sacramento Business College. His obituary (which includes misinformation about his father's death) suggests he may have also attended St. Ignatius College in San Francisco around this time. In 1901 he inherited the lumber business from his father William. Based on Edward's obituary, he may have been managing the business for many years before his father's death. Edward also inherited half of his father's lot in the Sacramento City Cemetary, but did not use it.

At the time of his death Edward was living at 1605 P Street and was a charter member of Sacramento parlor of the Native Sons and of Sacramento Lodge, No. 6, B. P. O. E. Burial services of the Catholic Church were conducted at Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament.

Edward left everything to his wife. Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and Julia UNKNOWN.

He was married to Ida WILSON. Children were: Gladys FRAZER, Archibald FRAZER.

Gladys FRAZER⁽⁵⁸⁾ Parents: Edward F. FRAZER and Ida WILSON.

Margaret Jane FRAZER⁽⁵⁹⁾ was born about 1847 in Ireland.⁽⁶¹⁾ She died on 16 May 1880 in San Francisco, CA.⁽⁴¹⁾⁽⁶²⁾ Paula Greenwood's notes say that Margaret and two children (William Edward and Mary Ann) died during an epidemic, but I have found no evidence of an epidemic in San Francisco during this time period. She was buried in Oddfellows Cemetary, San Francisco, Ca..⁽³²⁾⁽⁶³⁾ Although her husband's pension records indicate Margaret was buried in Oddfellows Cemetary, I could not find her name on the Oddfellows Cemetery Association Register of Removals; however, this list contains only 12,000 to 15,000 names, while over 25,000 bodies were actually removed. The first record of Margaret I can find is in the 1870 U. S. Census for Sacramento where she is listed as Maggie Frazier living with her sister Mary Ann Quinton and Mary Ann's family. Based on the location of birth for Mary Ann's children, Mary Ann must have come to Sacramento from New York between 1867 and 1869. I suspect that Margaret came with her. Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and UNKNOWN.

She was married to Robert WHITTEN on 3 Aug 1871 in Sacramento, CA.⁽³²⁾⁽⁶⁴⁾⁽⁶⁵⁾ Children were: John George WHITTEN, Margaret Pauline WHITTEN, Robert Charles WHITTEN, William Edward WHITTEN , Mary Ann? WHITTEN.

Mary Ann FRAZER⁽⁵⁹⁾⁽⁵⁷⁾⁽⁶⁶⁾ was born in 1844 in Ireland.⁽⁵⁹⁾⁽⁵⁵⁾ She died on 18 Sep 1883 in San Francisco ?.⁽⁶⁷⁾ She was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Based on the birth places of her children, as listed in the 1870 Sacramento census, Mary Ann and her husband came to Sacramento from New York sometime between 1867 and 1869. Entries in the Sacramento and San Francisco City Directories suggest that the family moved to San Francisco around 1874. Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and UNKNOWN.

She was married to William QUINTON. Children were: William E. QUINTON, Margaret Ann QUINTON, Grace QUINTON, Thomas QUINTON, William Frazer QUINTON, Fannie QUINTON, Bessie QUINTON.

Nellie FRAZER was born about Nov 1860 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Date of birth calculated from information on tombstone which though weathered appears to place Nellie's age at death at 3 yrs. 11 mos. and 23 days. She died on 12 Nov 1864 in Sacramento, CA. She was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and Julia UNKNOWN.

Thomas G. FRAZER⁽⁵⁷⁾⁽⁶⁸⁾⁽⁶⁵⁾ was born in 1843 in Ireland.⁽⁵⁵⁾ He died on 5 Aug 1879.⁽⁶⁹⁾ Microfilm of obituary is very hard to read, but does list father as William F. Frazer. He was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Thomas first appears in the 1860 Sacramento census as a laborer living with William F. Frazer and family. I need to check city directories prior to 1866, but after that date he is listed in the Sacramento Directory as a drayman and later he assumes various duties in the CPRR machine shop. He is not listed in the Sacramento directory in 1872, 1873 or 1874.

Thomas was a witness at his sister Margret's wedding to Robert Whitten.

Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and UNKNOWN.

William (Willie) J. FRAZER was born about Sep 1856 in Sacrmento, CA.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Birth calculated on basis of information on tombstone which says Willie was 3 yrs. 5 mos. and 23 days when he died He died on 28 Feb 1860 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁵⁵⁾ He was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ Parents: William Fitzgerald FRAZER and Julia UNKNOWN.

William Fitzgerald FRAZER⁽⁷⁰⁾⁽⁴⁰⁾⁽⁷¹⁾⁽⁵⁷⁾⁽⁶⁸⁾⁽⁵⁹⁾⁽⁷²⁾⁽⁵⁵⁾ was born on 3 Sep 1821 in Ireland.⁽⁵⁵⁾ He died on 2 Mar 1901 in Sacramento, CA.⁽⁴⁰⁾ He was buried in Sacramento City Cemetery.⁽⁵⁵⁾ A short biography of William Frazer written in 1890 says that he was the proprietor of one of the leading lumber yards of Sacramento, occupying two lots on the corner of Fifth and L streets. City directories indicate it was on the SE corner. According to his will, William also owned Lot 5 in the block bounded by O and P, 10th and 11th Streets and the West half of Lot 3 in the block bounded by N and O, 9th and 10th Streets. His residence at the time of his death was 916 N Street. When he died in 1901, his estate was worth $84, 596.

According to the biography and his obituary William came to New York from Ireland in 1846, and to California in 1851. There is a W. F. Fraser on the passenger list for the steamer Isthmus arriving in San Francisco June 6, 1851 from Panama. The trip from Panama took 22 and 1/2 days.

William was involved in mining for 3 years before becoming engaged in the lumber trade. He was listed in the 1854/55 Sacramento City Directory as an employee of lumber merchant Patrick McMannis and in the 1856/57 Sacramento City Directory as a lumber merchant, corner of I and 8th. (He is not in the 1855/56 Directory) By 1868 his business was established on the corner of Fifth and L. The location of his residence varied, and for 5 years, from 1874-1878, he lived in the Capital Hotel. This move may coincide with the death/divorce/disappearance of his second wife Julia. In 1874 and 1875, William was listed in the city directory as a Capitalist.

William was naturalized on June 3rd 1867 in Sacramento. There does not appear to have been a declaration of intent to naturalize.

According to his obituary, William was a member of the Exempt Firemen's Association. Funeral services were performed by an official of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.

William had at least three wives. Assignment of children is based on his will, on information in the 1860 and 1870 Sacramento Censuses, and on tombstones in the Frazer cemetery plot.

He was married to UNKNOWN. Children were: Thomas G. FRAZER, Mary Ann FRAZER, Margaret Jane FRAZER, Angelina G. FRAZER.

He was married to Julia UNKNOWN about 1855 in Sacramento?.⁽⁶⁸⁾⁽⁵⁵⁾ This estimate is based on the birth date of Julia and William's first child. Children were: William (Willie) J. FRAZER, Archibald FRAZER, Nellie FRAZER, Edward F. FRAZER.
