My ancestor, Henry Frakes Jr. was the son of Henry Frakes Sr. and Eleanor
Watkins who was the daughter of Evan Watkins, the "Ferryboatman" at what is now
Williamsport, MD. Henry married Hannah Daughterty who was born approx. 1765 in
either Ireland or Penna. I know nothing about this woman although I have
looked for her for years. Daughterty is too common a name in PA and KY. They
had a lot of children including Hannah Frakes born 1782 in what is now Greene
County, PA and who married Thomas McKee in 1801 in Hardin County, KY. They
moved to Harrison County, KY by 1810. Sometime before Dec 1818 when Illinois
became a State, they were in what is now Sangamon County. Their dau, Hannah Agnes
("Nancy") married my second great grandfather, Garrett Wyckoff in May 1823
(the second couple to be married in Springfield, IL). They moved with the
McKees to Schuyler County, IL. I believe Thomas went to Birmingham and I know that
Garrett and family went to Oregon (now Littleton), Schuyler County. There
was also a daughter named Cassie born 1784, Greene County, PA who married
William McKee, Thomas' brother. They later came to Schuyler approx 1823-1825. They
lived in Crawford County, IN. There was a brother named Alexander who was in
the Black Hawk Indian War of the 1830's and later got donation land in
Oregon. There was a Dorcas and a number of other children. Henry Jr. died in
Hardin County, KY 1801 and his father died in Washington County , PA 1790's (I
believe 1796). It is in the tax records of Washington County, PA which I saw
when I was in Harrisburg, PA State Archives in 1996. Annie
