  • 4. John FRAME, christened 11 Dec 1748, Augusta Co, VA

The christening dates come from the diary of Rev. John Craig. He ministered to both Tinkling Springs and Augusta Stone Church. the diary does not say which church the christenings took place in, however as the John Frame property was near the old stone church, we are thinking it was there. Also.... According to the Vestery Records, after John died it was the old stone church assisting the widow Frame to support her children. That is another reason we think it was there the christenings took place. This support began 6 Aug 1750. - Ron Frame

Sarah must have died sometime before William as she is not mentioned in any of the estate records. In November 1812 we find an inventory of the personal property of William Frame, deceased, of Lincoln Co, TN. John Fraim and William Fraim were among the buyers of his personal property at his estate sale held 27 Feb 1813.
