He married Elizabeth, who was probaly the daughter of Lewis Duvall, about 1787, and, they were listed in the Greenville Co., SC 1790 census. His place of birth is unknown, but two of his sons, David and Lew is were living in 1880 when the census listed the birthplace of their father. David reported that his father was born in Virginia, but Lewis erroneously reported that he, his father, and his mother were born in Georgia. David might be correct, but no other confirming data has been found. Frederick may have been in the Virginia Line in the late Revolutionary War period, but the first proven record of Frederick, Jr. was the Greenville Co., SC, 1790 census. He was also listed in the 1800 and 1810 census, but was not found in the 1820 census. He was named coexecutors, with his brother John, of his father's estate in 1805. He died intestate in Greenville Co., SC , in 1827-1828, and his estate papers identify his wife, Elizabeth, and his ten children. All of his heirs in South Carolina, except John B., apparently remained on the 356 acres of land that Frederick owned until 1845, and then sold it for $1,000 before they moved to Cheroke e Co., Georgia.
