Note on Date of Death

According to the 1860 U.S. Federal Census,^[1] Thomas Milton Frazier, was living with Clinton Edward DeWitt and his sister Elizabeth DeWitt. Elizabeth DeWitt is the daughter of Martin Gaines Frazier and Martha Mayfield.

Assuming the headstone was installed closer to the date of death by probably a century and because the dates are a decade apart, 1885 is probably the correct date of death and will be used unless other evidence proves otherwise.
