From Shelby County Indiana, History of SON ANTHONY:
Anthony was the second of six children, four sons and two daughters, born to Anthony and Hannah (Preston) Fraker, the former of whom was born in Oberhoff, Switzerland, November 27, 1799, and emigrated to America with his mother in 1816. After an eventful voyage of ninety days, they landed at New Castle, near Philadelphia, on New Year's Day, 1817.
He remained with the man who paid his passage seven years, after which he spent two years in Philadelphia. He then spent one winter in New Orleans, after which he returned to Wilmington, Delaware, and there was married to Hannah Preston. She died twelve years later, leaving to his care four small children. With these he emigrated to Indiana, and settled in Brown County.
He afterward moved to Johnson County, five miles north of Franklin, where he was married to Sarah Anderson.
He moved to Shelby County in 1865, where he has ever resided three years during which he was a resident of Edinburg, where his second wife died. He now makes his home with the subject of this sketch, and though in the eighty-eighth year of his age he is enjoying good health and still works at the trade of a carpet weaver, which has been his chief vocation of his life.
