I am researching my Hendricks and Malone line in KY. Specifically, John G. (Gill ?) Hendricks and Elizabeth Malone. Have no idea what county they may have lived in. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My g-g-grandfather was Solomon Frazier (20 July 1807, KY – 13 March 1854, Daviess Co., MO. My g-g-grandmother (wife of Solomon) was Mary (Polly) Cope, dau of Wiley Cope (cir 1775-1848) who immigrated to Daviess Co., MO in 1836 from Quicksand Creek area in what is now Breathitt County, KY. Area was Floyd Co (1800-20); Perry Co. (1820-39). “Saul” Frazier lived adjacent to John Frasure in Perry Co, KY Census of 1830. Russel (invariably spelled with only one “l”) Frazier, brother to Solomon Frazier according to Dickie Diaries was born 1800-10, married Sally Cope, sister of Mary Cope. Solomon and Russell emigrated from KY with Cope family in 1836 to Daviess Co, MO.
Solomon and Russel had flint lock long rifles made in Kentucky prior to leaving for Missouri. The rifles were named “Chucky Jack” (an apparent reference to John “Chucky Jack” Severe who was born on the Nolichucky River and was the first governor of TN) and “Johnny Mac” whose origin is not known.
Mae Frazier (1912-2009) of Lexington KY was a visiting nurse in the 1950’s and met many residents of East Kentucky in that capacity. Mae compiled an extensive family history of the Combs and Frazier families. Mae reported that all Fraziers she had met with roots in southeastern Kentucky prior to 1850 were descended from one of several Frazier brothers who migrated from southwestern Virginia into Kentucky about 1800. One of the Frazier brothers settled on the Kentucky River near the mouth of Quicksand Creek. No relationship between Solomon and Russel and Mae’s family has been proven, however.
It would be useful to hear from anyone with Frazier roots in southwestern Virginia or southeastern Kentucky. Cousin Elmer Lee “Dink” Frazier is a direct descendant of Russel and his Y-DNA results are posted at FamilyTreeDNA.com. We are seeking other Fraziers with southwest VA or southeast KY roots who would be willing to test.
