The Frizelle Family.

(By Nellie E. H. Fleming.)

The family of Frizelle was among the early settlers of New Woodstock. The head of this family was Samuel, direct descendant of James Frizelle, who settled in Massachusetts when twenty-six. Hume's History of England relates that Cromwell, commander of the English army under King Charles, sent four or five hundred Scotch prisoners to Boston, Mass. Among them were two brothers, James and Samuel Frizelle. The elder brother, James, was the ancestor of Samuel, of New Woodstock, the line being as follows: James Frizelle, born 1626, settled in Roxbury, Mass., now part of Boston, in 1652, and died in 1716. His son, James, born 1658, died 1748. His son, James, had a son, Samuel, born 1742, who, with his wife, took letters from the church in Woodstock, Vermont, to Brimfield, Massachusetts, where they resided during their lifetime, and where Samuel, an early settler of New Woodstock, was born in 1769. He moved in 1793 to New Woodstock, N. Y. In 1799 he married Polly Tiffney, their home being three-fourths of a mile south of New Woodstock on the place which still bears the name of the Frizelle farm. Their son, Horace, and family lived in Syracuse. Erasmus resided on the old farm. Daniel also made New Woodstock his home during his life. Then daughters were born to Samuel and Polly Frizelle, three of whom married three brothers, Ensign, Orange and Rodney Hill. Orange Hill married for his third wife another of the Frizelle sisters, Mrs. Percy Chapman, of Syracuse.

Mary Frizelle became Mrs. Litchfield of Cazenovia. Caroline married Mr. Rice, and lived in Aurora, Illinois. Julia, the youngest one, married John Loomis and lived several years in New Woodstock, afterward moving to Independence, Iowa. Their two children were Lewis and Gertrude. After the death of the latter, Mrs. Loomis became a homeopathic physician, locating at Colorado Springs, where she built, and with the aid of her husband, successfully conducted a sanitarium until her death.

Erasmus Frizelle, born in 1801, continued living in the old place, caring for his parents during the last years of their lives. He married Sarah Sawyer in 1829. They had sons, Electus L., Erasmus Bert, and Ensign Hill, and daughters, Elizabeth, Elzina, Emma, and Ella. Electus L. married Emma Hackett, and in 1861 moved to Iowa, later to Nevada, Mo., where they now reside.  Erasmus Burt married Margarite Torrey, and resides in Sterling, Kansas. Ensign Hill is unmarried and resides in the far west. Elizabeth married J. C. Ransier. Elzina married A. E. Stewart, and later, J. M. Sparling. Emma died in 1881. Ella married J. Hammant, and later, G. Thomas Fleming, of Buffalo where they now reside.

In 1861, Erasmus Frizelle sold the old Frizelle homestead where he and all his children were born, and moved to Independence, Iowa, where his wife died in 1878, and in 1883 he died at the age of eighty-two.

Daniel, the youngest son of Samuel Frizelle, was born in 1818. He married Fannie, daughter of Wm. T. Richmond. Their home was in Delphi four years. They then returned to New Woodstock where they lived the remainder of their lives. They had four children, Minnie, now Mrs. Peters, Wm. S., both of whom reside in New Woodstock. Albert, of Syracuse, and Fannie, who died in infancy. Mr. Frizelle learned the trade of mason. He served as deputy postmaster during Wm. T. Richmond's incumbency, and was justice of the peace sixteen years. He became the owner of the old Frizelle farm, and his death occurred there. His wife died a few years later.

James Frizelle, brother of the pioneer, Samuel, lived in the barn meeting house when it was burned. He had a saw mill on the left side of the road to Floodport, just below the bridge. His children were Amanda [Wheeler], Sumner and Sally Frizelle. Clinton Wheeler and family are the only descendants.
