Marshall William “M.W.” MCDONALD (This could be reversed to read William Marshall) b 1826 SC d 1860/1869 Bradley County, TN m abt 1854 GA??? husband of: Adaline Parks of GA The following are notes that I have collected: Marshall William MCDONALD was a roadmaster on the East Tennessee and Georgia Railroad, that served the area between Georgia and Tennessee. The area at McDonald, TN was called McDonald Station. He and his family resided in what is now McDonald, TN. He was riding in the engine of the train, during the Civil War, when a trestle gave way; believed to have been caused by the Union army. The train wrecked and he was scalded to death. The accident occured approximately two miles west of McDonald, Tennessee; in Bradley County. According to family history, the town of McDonald, Tennessee was named after William Marshall McDonald or one of his relatives. Surely there must be some newspaper account of this train accident in the Bradley County records???

FRAZIER
My great grandfather was Philip Frazier b 13/03/1821. Who were his parents? I had always thought that John Frazier b04/02/1771 and Rebecca Low were his parents. This John was born in N.C. came to Monroe County abt 1825, (tax list) McMinn County census 1840. The 1850 census finds him in Bradley County. Recent information suggest that he may have been a grandson. Sure would appreciate any help on this. Also any information on Samuel Frazier b 1807 son of John and Rebecca. This Samuel is not old enough to be Philip’s father. Rebecca seems to be too old to be Philip’s mother.
