Simon Fraser was born in Scotland in 1801. He came to New York with his parents in 1805. He moved to Liberty County, Georgia when he was 21 years old. In 1823, he married Miss Rebecca Daniel of Liberty County. Although Fraser was an ordained Methodist preacher, he never pursued a career in the church. Rebecca died in 1835 after the birth of their fifth child. Fraser moved to Roswell, Georgia in 1839 to become the bookkeeper for the Roswell Manufacturing Company. In 1840, he married Miss Matilda Bradford. They had seven children. His home was on Fraser Street between Alpharetta Highway and Norcross Street. He died in 1881 and is buried in the Old Roswell Cemetery.
