Person talk:John Frakes (6)

Possible Record Matches [1 March 2016]

While doing Source work in Bourbon County, KY, I came across this 1817 deposition for a John Frakes, aged abt 40. May be a match for this John Frakes, but since I am not well versed in the Frakes family, I will leave it here on the Talk page for the watchers to decide.
