Nathaniel, Henry and Robert Frakes were among the settlers prior to the war of 1812. They took up their abode on Little Darby. and soon the cry of the Indian war was heard, and they all three took part in the struggle, in which Robert and Nathaniel were killed. Henry soon after died. About the same time, we chronicle the name of Michael Dickey. who settled near the W. O. Browning farm. now owned by Mr. Bradfield. Prior to the war of 1812. we find the settlement of a second Robert Frakes. who was a native of England. but married in Pennsylvania. where two children were given the union, and then they settled in Jefferson Township. When he came to the neighborhood it was conceded that a valuable man had come, as he was a cooper by trade, and probably the first one to meet the wants of the few settlers then in Jefferson Township. In connection with his trade, he did some clearing and farming as the former would not furnish him constant employment. He died about 1830 and his wife subsequently. He was small, industrious, energetic. and a man of strong constitution.

We know that Henry FRIGGS was probably born in Pennsylvania or Maryland in about 1664. He married a Mary ? in August 1691 in Somerset County, Maryland.

From: "County Clerk Notebook", Somerset County, Maryland, Volumes 1 - 10 and
"Ancestral Proof and Possibilities", Numbers 1 - 4, Volume 10, page 63;

"15 September 1685, will of Noble, wife executrix, witness: William Brereton, Benjamin Neshin, Alex X Michael, Henry X Freek." Date of proof is not given. Recorded 14 June 1690.

We think that possibly Mary ? was a Noble since Henry witnessed Noble's will above.

They Lived In Somerset: 17th Century Marylanders
