There are a lot of Frazier Friends buried at Cherry Grove Friends, probably
some at Quaker Lynn. You should go two routes here for info I think. One
would be the museum, cemetery records and Friends directories would help you
here I think. Also ask for the land records info from the land deeds
records index book from the Cincinnati, Ohio office. All land purchases for
this area were recorded in Cincinnati during those early years.
www.randolphcountyindianahistoricalsociety.org and I think you should
contact Tom Hamm at the Lilly Library, Earlham College in Richmond, IN. Tom
is the custodian of records (for Indiana Yearly Meeting) and works in the
Archive of the library. He would be able to get the minutes from the
meeting that she attended, became a member of, was born a birthright friend
of, which would include her parents names, where they were born if they were
Friends, where they came from, when they passed, where they are buried maybe
and so on. The area they were probably in would have been Greenfork and/or
Washington Township. 1816, Indiana was just barely at state when she was
born, Randolph County area would have been a part of Wayne County at the
time. Randolph County was formed from Wayne County, IN Sept. 1818, and the
county line ran all the way up to the Michigan State Line.
Friends Meetings to focus on would be New Garden, in New Garden Township,
Wayne County, IN. This meeting was just laid down this spring. All the
records should be at the Archive. Cherry Grove Friends, Bloomingsport
Friends, Lynn Friends, Arba Friends. Arba was the first community in
Randolph County in the Territory Days. Cherry Grove was laid down in the
1950s, Bloomingsport a few years ago. Lynn and Arba are still active, but
their early records will probably be at the Archive.
