FRAZIER
Can anyone give me the dates of William Frazier of Trenton ? His wife's name and his children? He came to Trente _ before. 1800, and had at least two sons, Alexander Frazier 1787-1882 and John Frazier. All I can learn of Willlain is that he settled the John Jones farm in 1799 a little north of the village of Trenton.
According to the 1855 census of the Town of Trenton, Alexander 1787-1882, his son, was born in Rensselaer county, N. Y., although family members were under the Im- pression that his family had come from Glasgow, Scotland, when Alek- ander was a child of six. That would be about 1781.) Census records .are often wrong, but Alexander was Marshal of the Census and it seems that he probably gave the correct information there. Alexander was a survivor of the War of 1812.
Of William's son John, I have no record at all.

He was in the Battle of Long Island and was tak- | SCOTT
en prisoner in the Battle of Wash- ington Heights November 16, 1776 and was liberated on his parole Jan. 10, 1777.
David Thorp marrled Aug. 5, .1778 in Derby (Judea,) Conn., Eliz- abeth Tomlinson. She was born Feb. 1, 1757, place not named, and was .dead in 1851. Their children were:

John and David Thorp went into the town of Norway, Herkimer Co. with Captain Hinman and others from Connecticut between 1788 and 1790. He moved soon after the war on the Mount Farm.
About the same time an Aaron Thorp settled in Durham, Greene County. His sons William and Aaron, Jr. ran a line of stages from Al- bany to Binghamton, N. Y. They were related to Davld of Ohlo but I do not know how and would like to know the relationship. I- should like further data on these families.

I should like information concern- ing one Jacob Scott, born Dec. 4, 1789 .. He married Priscilla Hager- man who was born Feb. 15, 1787, probably at Buck's County, Pa., so Jacob may have lived there. He was an itinerant minister. He died July 4, 1870-71. Priscilla died March 29, 1883.
I should also like to know about the parents of the above Priscilla Hagerman Scott, whose birth date is above. According to the information I have her father was John Hager- man and her mother Barbara
Another ancestor is Mark Marlatte who probably lived in Florida, Or- ange county, N. Y. He had a son An- drew. Andrew was born July 26, 1816 but I do not know whether he was the only son. The wife of Mark Marlatte was ' Dorothea Another ancestor is Elizabeth Smith born Sept. 9, 1776. I believe in the Mohawk country. Her fath- er's name was Jacob.

Against that tradi- tion appears the evidence from page 209, The Centennlal of the Settle- : ment of Upper Canada by United Empire Loyalists, 1784-1884, Rose Pub. Co., Toronto, 1885; "Peter Mar-' cellis, H. (probably Hamilton) Dis- trict, B(utler's) Rangers, Niagara Stamped Book. S(probably for Sol- dier.) Provision List (Fort) Niagara, 1786." The same reference mentions John Marcellis and Sevaries Marcel- lus, respectively of W'msburgh and Osnabruck, Eastern Ontario and another Sevories Marcelius "Gone to the States." Since Fort Niagara, N. Y. was surrendered in 1796 by British to, American troops under Jay's treaty with Great Britain the 1798 Crown grant in the ยทยทยท Nisgara peninsula to Peter Maselis of land which remalned In the possession of his heirs until 1854, the evidence points to Peter having been a first wave loyalist soldier in Butler's Ran- gers, contrary to the tradtion, of his emigrating to Ontario for land with- out having had loyalist service. No sharper contrast could exist . than the reputation achieved by Butler's Rangers in N. Y. and in Ontario. Bitterness, 160 years old, has no jus- tification (after 129 years of peace along the border) for obstructing historical and genealogical research, especially after the descendants of both sides have fought two World Wars together.

This was a Dutch family which came early from Bommel in Gelder- land, Holland, to Beverwyck (Al- bany.) The name appears to have been spelled in over 30 ways in var- ious documents, the most common spelling being Marselis. It appeared in Bergen, N. J., New York City and several Hudson river settlements and spread from Kingston and AI- bany through Schenectady and the Mohawk Valley. Most of its members
were American patriots during the Revolution. The writer, an officer of the U. S. (Regular) Army since 1904, learns he is descended from numerous Revolutionary patriot soi- diers from Connecticut, Vermont and New York, also from a loyalist branch headed by Peter Maselis who received land grants from the Crown 1 Dec. 1798 in Clinton Twp., Lincoln County, Ontarlo, for which Beams- ville is the post office. Peter's eld- est child, Mary, received her grant from the Crown, 200 acres in Lot 2, 5th Concession, Erin Twp., Wel- lington county, near Acton, Ont. 23 Feb. 1829 after several years resi- dence thereon during which her hus- band and children aided her in mak- ing the required homesteading Im- about
provements. She was born
1797 and married probably at Beamsville about 1818 the U. S. War of 1812 soldier Philander Hopkins, 1794-1861. She died about 1832 probably on her farm and seems to have been buried in Church Hill cemetery, Esqulsing Twp., Haiton County, Ontario, about 11/2 miles SE of her farm. Her seven children, Mary 16 March 1819, twins Selinda and Caroline 3 June 1822, Elam 6 May 1824, Loren 19 Feb. 1826, Or- ange 8 Aug. 1827 and Harriet 1 Sept. 1829 seem to have been born at Beamsville or on her farm. Her husband returned to New York State married about 1833 in Lockport De- borah Townsend and after purchas- ing 28 Jan. 1834 and selling 17 Apr. 1835 84 acres in Somerset Twp., Ni- lagara Co., moved to Michigan Terri- tory with his family, settling at Una- dilla, Livingston county, where he died and was buried.

The children were: Mary, about 1797 probably, John about 1798-9; Peter, 1800-47; George, 1805, about 1880; probably Lydia 1809-33; and perhaps others.
