My Most Recent Common Ancestor with John Frizzell is Nathan Frizzell and Margaret Deason, my 5th Great Grandparents.  While I've not identified a descendant of John among my matches I do have a DNA match at AncestryDNA who descends thru John's sister Martha Jane Frizzell.  That descendant would be my 6th cousin and shares a 12 cM segment.  The shared matches are all Frizzell /Deason descendants which makes it seem likely that the segment is from that couple.  My paternal grandmother who is a Frizzell  / Deason descendant is also buried at Mt. Olivet Cemetery in Nashville.
