I previously wrote about discovering a connection between John Frazee to the Duryea line. The actual link is John Frazee's second wife, Lydia Place. John Frazee lived about 1790 to 1852 and was a sculptor and architect. His papers were donated to the Smithsonian Archives of American Art. Descriptions of the papers included genealogical information, which is exactly what I was looking for. Copies were available through microfilm, but I had not gotten around to ordering them yet. Yesterday was the day to order the microfilm. I visited the
website for the microfilm call numbers and poof! The papers are now scanned and online.
As hoped, the papers provide some great genealogical information.
This information is of great help to my research on the Place/Frazee line. I now have additional documentation that Lydia Place was the daughter of Thomas Place and Lydia Rogers- and she was their only daughter. We have birthdates for both Lydia and John, plus their marriage date. The diagram provides us with names and spouses of John Frazee's children. Not only are these papers a wonderful resource, but their ready availability online makes them that much better.
