Incoming Project: Frizelli Boston
One of our visitors has been researching Frizelli of Boston USA and Yorkshire UK.
They are also mapping the surname in Italy.
One of the earlierst settlers in Boston, Cambridge, and or Concord, was one John Frizelli.
Sometime the spelling is found in the English form, Frizell.
According to preliminary studies the family came from Yorkshire. Yorkshire heritage has been contacted, but can find nothing about this migratory persons.
A surname map was found and Frizelli is a rare name, primarily centered around Torino, so perhaps Waldesian?
In addition to the land west northwest of Harvard Yard; their property or house also included a place on North Boston hill.
If you have similar interests, further information, contacts, researchers, archives, or are familiar with these areas, they would be glad to communicate with you.
Allied families may include Prescotti, and Heyworth.
A later branch may be connected to the Vassall Frizell House in Cambridge west of Harvard Yard. Today it is entitled the Longfellow Washington and Vassall House. The former estate grounds included much of West Cambridge down to the Charles River. Portions of the estate were used as headquarters for soldiers and the George Washington family lived there as well. Afterward, the poet Longfellow was at the property.
The Professore has also assisted in providing some preliminary materials.
