About William Frame
Excerpt from History of Inez Frame Patterson:
The original spelling of the "Frame" name is believed to have been Fram, Fraim or Fraime. The Frames were Covenanters, who, due to their Calvinistic Creed were persecuted, and left Scotland and settled in Ireland. Family tradition states that George Frame, our Frame ancestor, was badly beaten and left for dead by his Catholic neighbors; his wife and their baby were murdered in their bed. George pretended he was dead as he had seen two of his other children escape out a back door.
Available information from most sources indicate that our first known ancestor to arrive in America was James Frame, nicknamed "Irish Jimmy" who came to this shore around 1750 with a brother, David. James and David Frame were both listed for the first time on the 1754 assessment list in New London Twp, Chester County, PA. "Frame", Julia Locke Frame Bounce, 1953, contains a letter written by Rev. Reuben Frame in 1875: "My Grandfather settled in Chester County, PA and his brother went west, as i understand, near line between Pennsylvania and what is now West Virginia." That would be Fayette Co., PA.
