The article also mentions a 4 Jul 1790 letter from Henry SMITH to Governor Randolph in which Randolph wrote: "Last Spring (1789), John FRAZIER, Esq. had his little son taken prisoner and I am well informed that unfortunate man has been since had the rest of his family killed on the Kentucky Road."

John served in the Continental Army in the Revolutionary War and fought in the Battle on King's Mountain. On August 23, 1782 he "served on the Jury in "Frezy(sp?) vs. Bendros" (handwritten notes difficult to read). On November 20, 1782 he "was to be Captain of Militia," and on May 19, 1789 he "was exempted from County Levy on account of age and infirmities".
