Birth: Nov. 20, 1801 in Kanawha County, West Virginia, USA
Death: Feb. 20, 1861 in Fraziers Bottom, Putnam County, West Virginia, USA

Allen was the son of Samuel and Ann Frazier, founders of Fraziers Bottom, WV. He
raised a large family in Fraziers Bottom and owned quite a bit of property at
the time of his will in 1857. Allen committed suicide down on the bank of the
Kanawha River. The story goes that he waited until his children were mostly
grown, set up a guardian for his youngest child, and killed himself.
The graves of these Fraziers are covered with limestone crypt covers. The
engraving has worn away through time. A marker has been added for Allen and his
wife Hannah McCallister at a later time by family members. The cemetery is off
Hurricane Creek Road in Fraziers Bottom, just off the road in the woods.
The graves of Samuel and Ann Frazier has never been located. Allen's brother,
William Frazier, is buried in the Frazier's Family Cemetery I (Buffalo Bridge)
along with his wife and 2 of his son's family, located about 3/8 miles west of
the Buffalo bridge. Brother Samuel Frazier, is buried in the Frazier Cemetery
located behind the Memory Lane Antique Shop off old Rt. 35 (now Rt. 817). His
other brother, Robert Frazier, grave have not been located.
