In the 1870 census [H]Ester Frazier, with a child Benson F. Frazier, was living with Catharine Glesser, in the Lawrence Ward 3, Douglas, Kansas. Her mother, Susan Houghton, and Stephen Vestal and Elizabeth Walton Frazier and family, were living in Lawrence Ward 4, Douglas, Kansas. According to NFS, Hester died in 1872. I've yet to find a source, or her child.
