Grants
D-161 (220 acres, 2 March 1793)
Reverend Patrick Frazer. Origin: Other
Reverend Frazer was sent to Long Island about 1790 by the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel (SPG) and died soon after. He was succeeded by Reverend Daniel Warner Rose. His natural children were Eliza, George, and A. Frazer.
The grant for 220 acres in the Bowers area is dated 2 March 1793 and says that the land was granted to “Rev. Patrick Frazer and his successors.” Very likely, this means that the land was designated to be used by the resident Anglican priest on Long Island.
