Open questions touching these claims

Can a direct record name George Frisby and Martha Jane Taylor as Samuel A. Frisby's parents, and does George connect to Norman Frisby's Mississippi/Louisiana family? The 1850–1870 household chain supports George and Martha at roughly 85–90% confidence, but no reviewed source explicitly names both parents.

Search DeSoto County, Mississippi probate, estate and guardianship packets from 1855–1860 for George Frisby's minor heirs Samuel and Mary, then deeds and Claiborne County Frisby records for George's parents or siblings. Do not connect George to Norman, Daniel, Alvah or Thomas Jefferson Frisby without a parent-naming record.
