Notes for THOMAS NEAL FRAZIER:
Thomas Neil Frazier, father of Senator Frazier, was graduated from Greeneville College and admitted to the bar at Washington, Tennessee, after which he became clerk and master of the chancery court of Bledsoe County. He resigned to engage in the practice of law at Pikeville and in 1861 was elected circuit judge, but before he could take his seat the state seceded and he never received his commission. Originally he was a stanch Union man, but after the state had adopted the policy of secession he did what he could to further the cause of the Confederacy. Following his removal to Rutherford county in 1863 he was appointed to the office of criminal judge for Davidson and Rutherford counties and remained upon the bench until impeached by a radical legislature in 1867, for releasing on habeas corpus several members of that body who absented themselves for the purpose of breaking a quorum. In 1870 his political rights were restored by a constitutional convention and he was reelected criminal judge of his old district, a circumstance indicating how the people of the community had stood behind him in the course he had pursued. He voluntarily retired from the bench in 1878 and died in 1887. Tennessee the Volunteer State 1769–1923: Volume 2
