Alson Gray Frazer was born April 8, 1824, in Guilford County, North Carolina, the son of Henry and Mary "Polly" (Otwell) Frazer. Alson's great grandfather Thomas Frazier spelled his last name with an "i", but Alson and most of his descendants dropped the "i", thus Frazer.
In 1828 Alson moved with his parents from North Carolina to Randolph County, Indiana; then to Hamilton County, Indiana, in 1838; and to Boone County, Indiana, in 1844.
On January 14, 1847, at Thorntown, Boone County, Indiana, Alson married Hannah Rees, the daughter of Zachariah and Mary (Davis) Rees.

Hannah died on February 23, 1852, and is buried at Thorntown, Indiana.
Following Hannah's death, later in 1852 Alson moved to near Denova, Henry County, Iowa. On July 21, 1853, he married Mary M. Hockett, the daughter of Edward and Betsey (Harris) Hockett. Mary was born December 9, 1833, in Randolph County, Indiana, and she died on August 2, 1904.
