-4th Virginia, Continental Line.

Father of: William Doss (marries Martha Ferrell), Lucy (marries William R. Sedberry), and Thomas (married Elizabeth Sedberry).

ATTENTION:
*John FRASER (1760-abt 1810) and Rebecca STORY (The John Fraser who married Susannah Rebecca Story was born in W.VA and died in New Madrid, MO in 1810.), as many trees say are not the FRASER family, specific John "Cuffy" FRASER of Montgomery County, NC.
**John from VA to Ohio and settled in Madrid, MO, died in Missouri. There is a will for John, list a Margaret as his wife, this is believed to be a second wife.
Please see: "Jelke and Frazier and Allied Families" by L. Effingham de Forest. (1931) This work is researched and gives the proof, pgs 30-32.

***There is a letter that has been circulated that has facts that are incorrect. This letter was written in 1896 by Granville FRASER to Mrs. Isla Sinclair second great grandaughter of John FRASER.

LETTER to the N.S.D.A.R: (DAR national #426007)
The date of John was determined from the facts that he was a friend of George Washington we assumed he would be near the same age. We approximated the birth of John FRASER as in the early seventeen hundreds, as he was of the age that he had service in the Revolutionary War for the full period of the war. We also assumed, since he was a friend of Washington that he would be near the age of him. The death date I would like to refer you to the Roster of NC Daughters of the American Revolution in 932, page 445, under Montgomery County, we read John FRASIER, Rank do, Service received $64.85, Description of Service, 4th VA Reg. Commencement of Pension November 16, 1814. Laws under which they were formerly inscribed on the Pension Roll, Act: March 3, 1815. Died August 5, 1816.
William, son of John, married Patsy Ferrell. Their children were: Warren, Granville (lived in Knoxville, TN), John A., Wilron, Edmond, Eli F., and Emeline.

-John Fraser (Frazier) of the 4th Continental Line. This man received a pension. From his pension record we learn that he lived in Prince Edward County, Virginia, until after the war when he moved to Montgomery County, North Carolina, where he was living in 1813
