Husband Eli Branson Frazier is buried at her feet, but his stone is down. \par --New research & information have shown that Nancy's family was living in Southern Indiana, in or near Corydon, Harrison Co IN, which is across the river from Elizabethtown, Hardin Co KY. Her father Simon Van Arsdale died 1828 as per his Harrison Co IN will. It was probably the cholera epidemic of 1832 that killed most of the rest of her family, rather than a typhoid epidemic as some descendants have claimed . Two sisters also survived, Margaret Van Arsdale & Harriet Van Arsdale. See below: \par --NEW INFO FROM EMAIL BY SUE SODEN: The following information was told to me in 1989 by Veva Sawyer Davis, great-granddaughter of Margaret Van Arsdale. Simon Van Arsdale [VanAlsdale] was born in June,1790, in Pennsylvania. Nancy Walker was born in September of that same year, in Virginia. They married, and had nine children: Julia A., William H., Harriet, Mary, Margaret, John, Alex, Martha E., and Nancy. Margaret was born in Lafayette, Indiana on February 18, 1823. Simon, his wife Nancy, and six of their nine children died while traveling by covered wagon. The family was buried along the road. The three surviving children were Harriet, Margaret, and Nancy. The little girls were let out to earn their keep.They would work very hard in the field, till blood ran down from their hands. Possibly an Aunt (D.?) help raised them. Harriet married Sam Enfield, and went on to live in Boone, Iowa. Nancy married a man named Frazier, and eventually lived in Marshalltown, Iowa." \par \par --NOTE Unfortunately there are several inaccuracies in the above account, which have now been settled by the finding of new records for this family \par \par --1830 Harrison Co IN census shows mother NANCY (WALKER) VAN ARDSALE widow with many children \par --1850 Boone Co IN census, Sugar Creek twp with husband and children \par --1860 Boone Co IN census, Sugar Creek twp with husband and children \par --1870 Boone Co IN census, Sugar Creek twp, Elizaville P.O. with husband and children \par --1880 Marshall Co Iowa census, town of Bangor, widowed with children at home \par --1885 Marshall Co Iowa state census, town of Bangor, single woman alone age 56, living next door to Amos & Ann Mendenhall and William & Mary Smith. \par --Obituary Transcribed from an unknown Iowa paper dated January 28, 1899 OBITUARY: FRAZER \par \pard\pardeftab720\sa320\cf0 Mrs. Nancy Frazer, relict of Branson Frazer, died this morning shortly after midnight, after an illness of a week with a complication of la grippe, asthma and bronchitis, at the home of her daughter Mrs. A.

She was alive and living in Marshalltown at this time Possibly because she was no longer a Quaker? )}
