By Michael L. Frizell I
First Generation: James Frisel/Fraser & Sarah Busketh
James Frisel/Fraser (1)
b. 1626, Scotland;
d. 06 Feb. 1717, Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, aged 90 Years;
Married, 1656, Roxbury, Suffolk, MA, Sarah Busketh, b. 1631, Massachusetts ? ;
she d. 11 Feb, 1713, Roxbury, Suffolk County, Massachusetts.
James Frisel / Fraser was one of the Clan Fraser, prominent as adherents of Charles 2nd. King of England, Scotland, and Ireland. There is a possibility that James and his brother William were the sons of Lord Fraser of Muchall ( Castle Fraser). There are Scottish records stating that James and his brother William may have been dead by 1651, This is the date that Andrew Fraser, 2nd. Lord Fraser, thinking his first two sons were dead after the battle of Dunbar wrote them off as his heir.
There is a possibility James Frisel , "Frizzell " , Fraser arrived in Boston after the Battle of Dunbar in 1650 and not the battle of Worcester in 1651. There are no records he was on a ship to America or Barbados. James may have had enough money and influence to hide out and make his way to France, then get passage to Nova Scotia or Quebec and then make his way down to Boston. But for safety reasons changed his name to Frizzell / Frissell . There is no proven research that says he came over on a prisoner ship.
Another possibility is that James and his brother William lacked sufficient funds , and being unable to afford passage they shipped on as sailors and upon reaching America or Canada they went ashore until the ship sailed without them. This was not an unusual occurrence, as the ship's records show they frequently left America with only a portion of their crews. It would also explain why the name Fraser or Frissell were not on the passenger list.
Note, Most records say: In 1652, "Jams Frisel / Frizell (Fraser) " Arrived in New England at the time of the arrival of four or five hundred Scottish political prisoners who were decisively defeated at the Battle of Worcester on September 3, 1651 by the forces of Oliver Cromwell. The prisoners were then banished to America from the sea port of Gravesend, England in 1652.
There is an "Old Family Tradition" that states, Jams Frisel Fled with a Brother to France. Later, it is believed that James and his brother then fled to America. James and his brother changed their name while in passage from France from Fraser to Frisel and later to Frissell / Frizell.
Jan. 1664 James Frisel is listed in the will of the widow Heath, gave 20 shillings to goodman Frysell, that married goodman James Busketh's daughter. January 6, 1674 In Roxbury, Massachusetts, the oldest receipt on file with the name Jams Frizzell, ten Shillings received of James Frizzell for the marsh given by Samuel Finch, There is no record of the purchase or acquisition of his land.
In 1686 His sons Joseph Frizzel had lot 13 (20 acres) & John Frizzel had lot 12 (20 acres) in Woodstock, Connecticut. James Frizell returned to Roxbury, Massachusetts were he Lived the remainder of his life.
