Gen. Simon Cameron [1799-1889] of Middletown, Dauphin County, Pennsylvania, was a Democrat and Know-Nothing before becoming a Republican in 1856. Noted for his corrupt dealings and as a political chameleon, he was a U.S. Senator from 1845-1849, 1857-1861, and 1867-1877; and Secretary of War from 1861-1862, when Lincoln exiled him to Moscow as Minister to Russia.
Reah Frazer [1804-1856] was a well known attorney and prominent member of the Democratic Party in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. His father, William C. Frazer [1776-1838], was a Lancaster attorney and served as a Supreme Court Judge in Wisconsin territory for a time; his grandfather William Frazer [1753-1817] was a Revolutionary War veteran and served as a justice of the peace in New Castle County, Delaware.
