Margaret Friend Frazee...who are her parents?

[linda115]

Margaret Friend Frazee b 1765 MD, wife of Jonathan Frazee b 1763 probably NJ, who was the son of Elisha and Mary Rutan Frazee.  Mary Rutan Frazee was still living on Sandy Creek, Allegany Co. in 1800 but died 1804. Others living on Sandy Creek in 1800 besides Jonathan and Margaret were: Wm W. Hoye, John Friend, Israel Friend, Charles Friend, Jeremiah Frazee, Thurman Frazee. Jonathan and Margaret were married about 1785.  Jonathan Frazee died before the 1850 census but Margaret Friend Frazee was still counted in the 1850 Allegany census living in the home of her son, Richard Frazee and surrounded by  many Friend families.  Margaret was listed as being 85 years old and was blind.  Richard's 19 yr old daughter was listed as being born in Missouri but his 16 yr old daughter was born in Maryland.  If anyone knows where in Missouri they went to, I would be interested to know as it might be possible Jonathan Frazee may have died there as I have never been able to find a burial place, nor for Margaret either who died in 1854 in Maryland.  In Hoye's History of Garrett Co, Hoye wrote : "On March 16, 1831, Jonathan Frazee deeded to the Youghiogany Iron Company "Friends Choice," 116 acres surveyed for Augustine Friend, June 25, 1774; consideration, $2750.  The following day Jonathan Frazee deeded to Jeremiah Frazee (his brother) his farm on Buffalo Run for $550.  Jonathan Frazee's wife, Margaret, appeared before Joseph Frantz and Jacob Clemmer to ratify these deeds."  So did they sell the farm and go to Missouri where the one granddaughter was born?  I and two of my siblings have tested DNA at FTDNA and each of us have several Friend related DNA matches.  The one we are closest related to (2nd to 4th cousins) has two Friend lineage and they are: Nils Larson Friend, Andrew Friend, Israel Friend, Jonas Friend and the two separate lines Jonas Friend children Joseph and Nancy which he descends from both.  My grandson even shows a relation to that line as a 4th to remote cousin.  My brother shows 8 total Friend Family connections, the one I mentioned above was 2nd to 4th cousin, three are 3rd to 5th, and four are 4th to Remote.  I have no doubt Margaret, wife of Jonathan Frazee, is a Friend descendant but trying to prove her Friend Ancestry is frustrating.  Any and all suggestions are appreciated.  Who would I write to for a copy of the land deed of March 16, 1831?

The only Margaret Friend I have was born abt 1752 and was the daughter of Jacob James Friend (1731-1809) and Elizabeth Skidmore (1734-1811). Margaret's grandparents were Israel Friend (1690-1749) and Sarah Bokavar. Israel was the brother of my 6th great-grandfather Charles Friend, who died in 1751. Margaret had a brother Israel and an uncle Charles who would have been alive in 1800.
