Alex Frazier (s) Quaker Records re wives Sarah & Phebe
Hello everyone,
I have a quick question.I notice in all of the very well researched info on the internet, the early Frazier family line reads:
Alexander Frazier (SR) married Sarah Coppock;
his son
Alexander Frazier (JR) married Phebe Elliott
Quaker records claim that Sarah & Phebe were 1st and 2nd wife to the same Alexander, not wives to father and son.
Taken from "Pennsylvania Quaker Records" on Ancestry.com:
This can be found on Ancestry by going to the search page,
selecting "search card catalog" and typing %quaker%.
It should be one of the results near the top.
"Alexander Frazier

I imagine you have come across this before.I would be very grateful for any assistance you can give me with this anomaly in the Quaker records.
Thank you,
