He was the first husband of Sarah Bollinger, married Jan. 21, 1819 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was appointed to a four year term as Justice of the Cape Girardeau County Court on Dec. 8, 1820 by Missouri Governor Alexander McNair. Joseph Frizel and William Ralph Daugherty were partners in a store in Jackson, Missouri. After the former's death, his widow Sarah, left with three young daughters, married Mr. Daugherty. Sarah, the only child of the pioneer George Frederick Bollinger, later successfully ran her father's mill, now a state historic site.

Joseph Frizel was of an old English family, which came to America at an early date and settled in Boston, and the Pemberton and Vance families were among his ancestors. About 1805 Joseph Frizel settled in St. Louis and engaged in the merchantile business, later removing to Jackson [Cape Girardeau County], where he continued in business until his death. Sarah Bollinger Frizel, his wife, was a woman of rare accomplishments. While quite young she rode on horseback from her home, at Jackson, to Salem, North Carolina, to attend the Moravian Seminary. In 1816 she brought by wagon the first piano across the Mississippi River, and the instrument is still in possession of the family. She was a daughter of George Frederick Bollinger, who located in the Territory, now Missouri, in 1796.--"Encyclopedia of the History of Missouri, 1901"
