Robert Smith Frazee Family - Distant Relation not descended from W.D. Frazee

Officer "Tall Bob" Frazee from the Sacramento Police Department is included here because for one, he is always coming up when I do family research and has almost always been listed as just "Officer Frazee" - So much so that I was beginning to think that Officer was his first name. and for two, he and his family turned out to be very interesting, and three his family doesn't have a genealogist of their own going through and correcting their vital records, so I'm going to do that here for them.  Obit is to quickly follow. Just for length I am not including it here.

(This will give interested relations a chance to see what sort of things I would like to add to their records when I find them:)

Lt. Robert Smith Frazee was born in 1842 Livingston County, NY. He died 2/19/1892 in Sacrameno, California. On 5/27/1878 he married Sarah Ophelia Grant born 3/19/1850 in Council Bluffs, Iowa.  He fought for the Union gaining the rank of Lieutenant, of Company G of the 27^th New York Infantry.
