FRIZZELL Mystery Three:

Who is Thomas FRIZZEL of Coosa Co., AL? We fondly call him "Coosa Tom". Who is this Thomas Frizzel and how does he connect? His children's names follow very closely with the family naming pattern of Thomas Frizzell Sr.'s family. He is only a few years older than Thomas and Tempy's eldest daughter Margaret, also born in GA. Is he an elder son of Thomas? He is probably too old to be a son of Tempy (Ellis) Frizzell.

Some researchers say that Martha Jane's sister married William James ROWE'S brother. It is unclear to us, at this point, as to exactly who the sister and brother are. We will not venture to say that the above Thomas FRIZZLE, of Coosa Co., is one of those siblings, at this time. It is difficult to imagine that Martha Jane (FRIZZLE) ROWE was Thomas FRIZZELL'S sister, due to the difference in ages. There is a 38 to 39 year gap between their birth years, according to the above Censuses. However, we do believe that there is definitely a family connection between these two families (ROWE and FRIZZLE).

Who is Elderanna (FRIZZEL) ROWE, wife of John Adams ROWE?

William James ROWE'S father was John Adams ROWE, c. 1810. Researchers also say that John Adams ROWE married an Elderanna FRIZZELL in later years, c. 1869.

If anyone has more data on any of the people mentioned on this page and wishes to share that information with us, we would greatly appreciate it. Any additional information will help us to determine how these FRIZZELLS and ROWES connect to each other and how they connect to the GA and Pike Co. AL FRIZZELLS.
