Second
Generation
Richard
Alexander FRAIN was born in Ireland, quite
possibly in Co. Wexford. It isn't known when he emigrated to the
United States but family charts compiled by Marie Mildred FRAIN states
that he was "of Wexford". He is buried in the R.A.Frain plot at Magnolia
Cemetery, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia
He married Mary
BOARDMAN who was born Abt.
1798 in Ireland. She died before 31 January 1872, Augusta, Richmond
County, Georgia, and was buried 31 January 1872 in the R.A. Frain Plot
at Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia.
They had the following children:
1. Richard
FRAIN See below
2. Walter
S.(anders) FRAIN
3. Jacob
S. FRAIN See below
4. Sanders
Alexander "Saunders" FRAIN
5. John
FRAIN
| Both Richard and Mary were members of
"The Church of the Atonement" presumably in Richmond County. However
a curious event occured on 9 March 1854, where a child was baptised which
was illegitimate. Back tracking through the records provided a much
needed clue to the exsistance of aMary
A. FRAIN who was born on 6 February1854
by a woman who's name wasCornelia
HOBBY. Mrs. Mary FRAIN was a witness
to Mary A. FRAIN's baptisim. Sadly Mary A. FRAIN died before 9 May
1854, and was buried in the Magnolia Cemetery Plot of RA FRAIN. Further
persual of the Church of the Atonement records prove a communicant notice
on 6 March 1853 where Richard was 'suspended' from the church on 1 February
1854. We presume he withdrew from the church alltogether, as further
records indicated that his children, Sanders, Walter, both withdrew from
the church. On Christmas Day in 1853 Mary FRAIN is listed as having
withdrawn from the church. It is noted that Mary A. FRAIN (Child
of Cornielia HOBBY and Richard FRAIN) and both Mary Boardman FRAIN were
all listed as having the surname FRAYNE in the records books. Additionaly
Magnolia Cemetery also listed Mary A. FRAIN as having the FRAYNE surname
in the record book. Both Richard and Mary Boardman FRAIN are also
buried at Magnolia. There are no headstones to mark their place of
rest.
Nothing is known about Richards' first
childRichard
Frain. This information comes from
an old family genealogy chart that dates back to the 1950's. Though
I have sought this information avidly, I have not found any evidence of
him residing in the US.
Jacob
S. FRAIN was born about 1834 in Co. Wexford
Ireland. He died on 4 October 1889 in Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia.
He was buried on 5 Octover 1889, and was buried in Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta,
Richmond County, Georgia. His funeral was conducted at St. Paul's
Church in Augusta at 11 am. on the same day as his burial. We've
no idea who Mrs.
E.S. LOMAX is however she is mentioned
in the Funeral Notice.14 Jacob petitioned
for Naturalization in October of 185715
on the same day as his brother Sanders Alexander FRAIN. Both Jacob
and his brother Walter S.(aunders) FRAIN are listed in the book "The Georgia
Black Book . Morbid, Macabre & Sometimes Disgusting records of Genealogical
Value" by Robert Scott Davis |

Third
Generation
Walter
S.(anders) FRAIN was born about 1827/1832 in Ireland.
He died on 8 December 1870 Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia, and was buried
on 12 December 1870, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia in the R.A. Frain
Plot at Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta, Richmond County, Georgia.
Walter married on 20 January 1856, Newton County Court of
the Ordinary Georgia to Mary
V.(irginia) MAYFIELD Daughter of the Rev.
Stephen MAYFIELD and Martha
DOBBS
She was born about 1838 in Muscogee(?) County, Georgia
They had the following children:
Sanders
Joseph FRAIN was born 8 April 1857
2. Martha
Virginia "Mattie" FRAIN
| Walter was according to census records, and various other documentation
a Rail Road Man. Finding him in Newton County was an unexpected bonus.
(Leading me towards 2 MAYFIELD lineages I am tracking). Walter like
his father and brothers was listed in the communicant records at 'The Church
of the Atonement' he was listed on 5 June 1853 (following Richards Removal),
and finally struck from the records with one Robert
McKNIGHT on 1 January 1856. In 1860 he is found
in the Newton County Georgia Federal Census with 2 children. He is
then presumably listed in the 1870 Richmond County Georgia Census just
prior to his death. By 8 December 1870 he is found in the 1st Ward
Augusta Jail house, which probably has something to do with the records
found by Robert Scott Davis. His funeral was conducted on the corner
of Kellock and Walker St. in Augusta Richmond County Georgia, and he is
also buried in the RA FRAIN plot at Magnolia Cemetery.
We currently find no record of Sanders Joseph
FRAIN, though it is known that Mary V(irginia) MAYFIELD remarried after
the death of Walter FRAIN to William
PLUNKETT (4 January 1874), and that they resided in
Newton County in the area her father lived. It came as another suprise
to find Martha Virginia FRAIN listed in another family record. |
Sanders
Alexander "Saunders" FRAIN was born about 1835
in Ireland. He died before 17 April 1870 Augusta, Richmond County,
Georgia, and was buried on 17 April 1870 in the R.A. Frain Plot at Magnolia
Cemetery, Augusta, Richmond County, Georiga.
Sanders married about 1864 to Mary
Ann Boardman STEPHENS, daughter of Edward
STEPHENS & Elizabeth
BOARDMAN. She was born in 1843, in Liverpool
England. She died before 14 Jan 1875, Outside of city limits of Augusta,
Richmond County Georgia.16and is buried
with the Johnson Family at Magnolia Cemetery, Augusta, Richmond County,
Georgia.
They had the following children:
1. Richard
Alexander FRAIN SR
2. Anne
FRAIN; Born 4 Jan 1865. Died 1875.
3. Stillborn
FRAIN b. bef 13 Nov 1866 d. 13 Nov 1866
| Sanders Frain is buried also in an unknown portion of the RA FRAIN
plot. It should be noted that Sanders came into the country through
Charleston SC, ended up in Richmond Co., GA, he also petitioned for naturalization
with his brother Jacob. But Mary Boardman STEPHENS upon Sanders death
married a man by the name of JOHNSON, and
thus is buried in with her second husband in his plot. We know very
little about this family, except that after Sanders died Richard A. Sr.
went to live with his uncle Thomas
George STEPHENS, when he was around 4 years old.
(This occasioned the marriage of Mary to Mr. JOHNSON.) |
John
FRAIN was born about 1843 Ireland
John married Annie
| According to the 1870 Federal Census in Newton County, there was a
John FRAIN who'd married an Annie. Census records provide no other
evidence to this connection in the family tree that was compiled in the
1950's. |

to REAGIN researchers. |

the ensuing years. My mother, never met her grandparents, them having
passed on before she was born. George's siblings, though it is mentioned
didn't have much contact with him. Though they both served interesting
Military service during WWI. George did die of Bone Sarcoma, and
though we know very little of the family tree, we keep plugging along. |
