(V) Jonas Goodnow, son of Peter and Dorothy (Moore) Goodnow, was born in Sudbury, Massachusetts, April 19, 1742. He married, January 29, 1763, Mary, daughter of Nathaniel Davenport, of Sudbury, and af- ter the birth of their ninth child, Jonas, Feb- ruary II, 1785, they removed to Boylston, where their children Tamor, Augustus and Joseph were born. Mary (Davenport) Good- now died at Boylston, January 3, 1826, hav- ing lived seventy-seven years and as a widow fifteen years.
(VI) John Goodnow, the Revolutionary ancestor of Joseph Goodnow, and son of Jon- as and Mary (Davenport) Goodnow, was born in Sudbury. He married Persis Howe, and lived to the good old age of one hundred and one years and nine months, and his wife Persis died at the age of seventy years. Their twelve children were: Howe, Asa, Elisha, John, an infant unnamed, Persis, Mary, Aa- ron, George, Elizabeth, William and Elvira.
(VII) John Goodnow, Jr., son of John and Persis (Howe) Goodnow, was born in Sud- bury, Massachusetts, September 6, 1791, and died in Boston, Massachusetts, December 24, 1861. He was a West India Merchant and became the head of the great importing firm of J. & G. Goodnow, his partner being his brother George. He was a merchant of re-' markable aptitude for business and by trade gained a large fortune. He took an active in- terest in his native town and spent his last years there. We copy two clauses from his last will and testament, viz. "First, I give, devise and bequeath unto my native town of Sudbury, in the County of Middlesex the Sum of Twenty Thousand Dollars to be ap- propriated for the purpose of purchasing and keeping in order a Public Library for the benefit of the Inhabitants of that town. "Sec- ond: I also give devise and bequeath three acres of land in the northerly part of the Sud- bury Tavern Estate, Adjoining the land of Howe Brown, beginning at the Meeting House Road and running with equal width with Brown's line to the brook, for the purpose of erecting thereon a suitable building for a li- brary, and the further sum of Twenty-five Hundred Dollars for the erection of said build- ing, and whatever portion of said land shall not be needed for the purpose of said Library
Building the said Town of Sudbury shall have full power and authority to apply to other town purposes, but without any power of alienation." He also caused the Goodnow Tomb to be erected in the cemetery. His brother George, who survived him many
years and carried on the business of J. & G. Goodnow, gave a fund of $10,000 to his na- tive town for the benefit of "the industrious poor." Of the other children of John and Persis (Howe) Goodnow: Howe died in Sud- bury, in middle life. He had children but no sons that married. Asa lived in New Hamp- shire, and had three children and lived to an old age. Elisha had no children. He was a wholesale grocer in Boston, died in 1851, and left the residue of his estate to the city of Boston for the purpose of establishing a hos- pital for the sick, "one half of said fund to be applied for the establishment and main- tenance of free beds." At the dedication of the City Hospital in May, 1864, Mr. Good- now was characterized as: "the first, and as yet, most liberal donor." Persis died single at the age of twenty-five. Mary married Au- gustus Belcher. Elizabeth married her cou- sin, Nahum Goodnow. Elvira married Na- hum's brother, Martin Goodnow. William, who always lived in the homestead farm, died unmarried at the age of seventy-five years.
(VIII) Joseph Goodnow, lumber mer- chant, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, son of Luther and Sally (Abbott) Goodnow, was born in Sudbury, Middlesex county, Massa- chusetts, June 16, 1814, where he was brought up and attended the district school. He left his home in Sudbury in 1835, on reaching his majority, and engaged in the lumber business in Charlestown, Massachu- . setts, becoming the senior member of the firm of Joseph Goodnow & Company, remov- ing the business to 294 Causeway street, Bos- ton. He was married in Boston, November 30, 1842, to Lucia M., daughter of Nathaniel and Hannah (Maynard) Rice, of Sudbury, and they had one child, Ella Josephine, born in Cambridge, August 8, 1847, who was brought up in her parents home No. 334 Broadway, Cambridge. She was married January 12, 1875, to Edwin P. Boggs, a wholesale merchant in Boston, and with their two children, one daughter Lucia Lincoln, married June 5, 1907, John Frederic Osborn graduate Harvard University, and one son, Francis Goodnow, a graduate of Harvard University, class of 1906, resides at 336 Broadway, Cambridge, in the house where her father, Joseph Goodnow, lived and died, he having removed thither from Charles- town, where he had spent the early years of his married life in 1855. He was a member of the Central Square Baptist Church in Cambridge, and in 1871 was elected a deacon of the Society, resigning at the expiration of
489
MIDDLESEX COUNTY.
his term of office, but was re-elected in 1881. He was devoted to the interests of the Bap- tist Society, and served as a trustee of Tre- mont Temple, Boston, for many years, and in his home church he was valued for his kindly interest in the less fortunate of his church brethren, and was ready to help them in times of trouble and adversity, and to rejoice with them when fortune showered its bless- ings on their earnest endeavors. He was ac- tive in the Sunday school up to the last days of his life, and at the close of Sunday school service on January 29, 1882, a stroke of apoplexy caused almost immediate departure and in his death the Central Square Baptist Church Society lost a servant who had worked faithfully for a full generation.
FROST The Frost family is of ancient English origin, extending back to the first days of the custom of using surnames. Several branches of the family have been ennobled and bear arms. An ancient Yorkshire coat-of-arms of the Frost family is : Ar. a chev, sa. between three trefoils slipped vert. Crest : An old man's head ppr. between springs of laurel vert. As all the other arms are similar, it may be presumed that they have the same origin and are related.
"Some idea may be formed of the eminence and importance of the members of the Frost family from the accounts given in Rymer's Foedera of the Acts of the Kings of England; also of the possessions of the family in var- ious parts of Great Britain by reference to the Rotuli Hundredorum (Rolls of the Hun- dred) of England, published by command of His Majesty King George III, A. D. 1812, where they may be found holding manors and public offices in many counties of the kingdom. They were intimately connected with King Edward in the fourteenth century." Wells' "American Family Antiquity." Then follow extracts from Rymer's Foedera, men- tioned above. The first of these is the sum- mons issued by King Edward, February 20, 1340, for certain subjects to come to the King's Council "to deliberate with regard to important and urgent affairs touching the King's honor and the safety and welfare of the kingdom." Among the names we find that of Waltero Frost.
Of the American line, the family historian, Edmund Walton, says : "It is not certain from what part of England this party (the thirty- eight families who came with Rev. Thomas Shepard in 1635 in the ship 'Defence,' of
whom Elder Frost's was one) came. though probably from the vicinity of Northampton. ** * * Two hundred and sixty-one years have passed away since Elder Frost first step- ped foot on this continent. His descendants have been many ; they have gone out from their homes to all parts of the country and to foreign countries, and wherever we hear of them, it is as honored and respected citizens, true to the principles of their ancestors and their New England training. Avarice has never been a besetting sin of the Frosts ; they have never ac- quired immense fortunes by dishonest means, but while they have been earnest in their ef- forts to acquire competence, it has been that they might provide their families with comfort- able homes, give their children a good educa- tion, maintain the church, the public school, and the charitable and fraternal organizations which society requires. This they have done freely with a generous hand."
The New England families, according to excellent authority, are descendant mainly from Rev. John Frost-a non-conformist minister, who had two sons, Nicholas and Edmund, who settled in America about 1635; Nicholas in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and Edmund, mentioned below.
(I) Elder Edmund Frost, the immigrant ancestor, was born in England, about 1610 or earlier. He settled in Cambridge, Massachu- setts, where he was ruling elder of Mr. Shep- ard's church. He was admitted a freeman March 3, 1635-36, and was a proprietor of the town as early as 1636. He bought land of Thomas Blodgett in 1639 on the west side of Dunster street, between Harvard square and Mount Auburn street, but later sold this place to Catherine Haddon and bought a house on the west side of Garden street, near Mason, occupying it until 1642. He sold it to Richard Eccles in 1646. He then acquired the estate on the north side of Kirkland street, extend- ing from Divinity Hall avenue to and beyond Francis avenue, and his descendants lived there for many generations and until a recent date. He left very little property except his homestead, though a man much honored in the church and town. He married (first) in Eng- land Thomasin , and (second) Reana Daniels, who was the widow successively of
James, William Andrew and Robert Daniels. He died July 12, 1672. His will was dated April 16, and proved October 1, 1671. He bequeathed to wife Reana; to sons Ephraim, Thomas, John, and Joseph; to his two daughters, Sarah and Mary; to Jacob French and his wife and the children of Golden

Thomas, born April, 1637, died young. 3. Samuel, born February, 1637-38. 4. Joseph, born January 13, 1638-39, lived in Charlestown; many de- scendants. 5.

(II) Ephraim Frost, son of Elder Edmund Frost (I), was born in Cambridge, Massachu- setts, in 1642, settled in that town, and died at Cambridge, January 2, 1717-18. He married Hepsibah Children : I. Edmund, born March 14, 1679-80. 2. Ephraim, born Sep- tember 23, 1682, mentioned below. 3. Thomas, born 1688. 4. Ebenezer, baptized January 17, 1696-97. 5. Sarah, married, May 17, 1720, Nathaniel Patten.
(III) Ephraim Frost, son of Ephraim Frost (2), and grandson of Elder Edmund Frost (1), was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, September 23, 1682, and died there June 26, 1769, aged eighty-seven. He was a planter, with a farm in Menotomy, now Arlington. His wife Sarah was admitted to the precinct church at the time of its organization, September 9, 1739. From a sketch of this family we quote : "He settled on the estate allotted to his father ; he and his brother appear to have been the first of the family who settled in Belmont, at that time called Menotomy. It is probable that his house was in front of the one owned by the late Oliver Russell. Pleasant street was at that time but a cart path through the woods from Watertown to Cutter's Mill, which ground all the grain for miles around. He was a thrifty and energetic man. He cleared much of the woodland and built much of the stone wall with which the Frost estate is so well supplied ; he also established a brickyard on land now owned by his descendant, your honored president (Frost Family). He married Sarah Cooper, September 19, 1714. She was daughter of Samuel Cooper, who was deacon of the church and selectman twelve years, and granddaugh- ter of John Cooper, who was selectman thirty- eight years, town clerk thirteen years, and dea- con of the church twenty-three years. Ephraim was selectman and assessor four years between 1724 and 1736. Cambridge at that time ex- tended from the Merrimac river to Dedham, it having since been divided into seven towns. He died June 26, 1769, aged eighty-seven years ; Sarah, his wife, died February 21, 1753,
aged sixty-six years. Their gravestones are: standing in the old cemetery at Arlington." Children, born at Menotomy : I. Ephraim, born July 10, 1715. 2. Samuel, born December 18,- 1716, mentioned below. 3. Sarah, born Janu- ary 2, 1718-19, died May 12, 1759; married Moses Harrington. 4. Anna, born December 15, 1720, married, September 22, 1737, Thomas Adams. 5. Martha, born August 4, 1722, married, January 10, 1740, Thomas Adams, Jr. 6. Eunice, born July 18, 1724, died April 10, 1739. 7. Abigail, born April 25, 1726, married Carter. 8. William, born November 13, 1727, died February 13, 1727-28. 9. Lydia, born August 8, 1729.
(IV) Samuel Frost, son of Ephraim Frost (3), was born in Menotomy, December 18, 1716. He resided in what is now Belmont, Massachusetts, then Menotomy and later Ar- lington or West Cambridge. He was a pre- cinct committeeman and assessor in 1768-69. At the outbreak of the Revolution he was an ardent patriot, and though nearly sixty years old, having long white hair, he turned out with his neighbors and volunteered on the day of the battle of Lexington. During the retreat of the British, while he was firing from behind the stone walls along the road, he was captured' and with his townsman, Seth Russell, was re- ported missing "supposed to be on board one of the men of war." (See E. Russell's Salem Gazette of Newbury and Marblehead Adver- tiser for May 5, 1775). He narrowly escaped death from a British soldier. An officer stop- ped the soldier in his purpose to shoot Mr. Frost, saying: "Keep him to send home. to King George to show him what a gray-haired old Rebel he was." He was sent aboard the British ship "Admiral," and discharged in ex- change June 6, 1775. The Massachusetts records through some error make it appear that he was exchanged for two men-James: Price, seaman, and John Gould, seaman. He had been sent to New York in the cartel "Favorite;" was called a seaman on the ex- change papers signed by Robert Pierpont, com- missary of prisoners.
He married, February 19, 1741, Abigail Cutter, daughter of Deacon John Cutter. She died March 10, 1796, aged seventy-four, ac- cording to her gravestone. He died October I, 1798, aged eighty-two, according to his gravestone. Children : I. Samuel, born De- cember 7, 1741, died young. 2. Samuel, Au- gust 2, 1743. 3. Abigail, January 24, 1745, admitted to precinct church, March 30, 1766; married Hezekiah Wyman, of Weston. 4 Rebecca, December 28, 1746, married, April

(V) Seth Frost, son of Samuel Frost (4), was born at Belmont, Massachusetts, March 20, 1760, and baptized March 23, 1760. He occupied the farm of his father and remained a farmer all his life.

He was brought up on his father's farm, receiving a common school education. In his early days he pursued hunting and dealt in furs, selling furs at a good profit. Part of the old Frost farm came to him, the diagonal wall running through the farm separating the present Martha Frost and Charles A. Frost farms. He was the first man in Belmont to use hotbeds for the growth of market produce. doing a profitable business supplying the Bos-
ton markets. He accumulated much wealth, and conducted the farm up to the time of his death, October 9, 1850. He built the home- stead, where Miss Martha D. Frost now re- sides, in 1845, on his farm of twenty acres in. the north part of Belmont. He was a man of medium height, upright and conscientious,. quiet but firm. He was very constant in church attendance, going first to the Unitarian, later to the Arlington Baptist church, occupying: pew number 44, in the second parish. He was a Whig in politics, and served in the militia. He married, October 5, 1823, Anstess Trow, died April 9, 1841, aged forty-six years, daughter of Jesse and Martha (Dodge) Trow, of Mont Vernon, New Hampshire. Children : I.

(VII) Francis Seth Frost, son of Seth Frost (6), was born in Belmont, April 24,. 1825. He attended the common schools and academy, and worked on the farm until 1849, when he, with others, shipped on the ship. "Drummond" for California, going around the. Horn. After remaining for two years he re- turned on the ship "Ohio," and the two years following he was incapacitated on account of illness. In early life he inclined toward the. career of an artist, and for several years de- voted himself to painting, producing some good work. Many of his paintings were scenes in the Rocky Mountains, where he spent some time with Bierstadt, the artist, with whom he studied. Coming later into the possession of considerable property, he entered the art busi- ness during the sixties with Edward Adams, under the firm name of Frost and Adams, con- tinuing about a year, when Adams withdrew from the firm. Henry Lawrence, a clerk, was admitted to partnership and remained in the ffrm several years, until he was killed at the Malden railroad station. It was shortly after this that the company was incorporated under the Massachusetts laws, Mr. Frost elected president and Herbert Gardner treasurer. The

firm of Frost and Adams Company still con- tinues on Cornhill, where the business was originally started. Mr. Frost was at the head of the firm until his death, December 26, 1902. The firm to-day is the most widely and favor- ably known of any in its class in New England. Though the business made demands on much of his time, he nevertheless executed a large amount of artistic work, especially in later years in the line of photography. In this branch he had few equals, perhaps no su- periors. Many of his fine productions found their way as gifts to his most intimate friends. His art store was the rendezvous of the Boston Art Club artists, and his opinion was constant- ly sought on matters pertaining to the advance- ment of art in Boston. Big-hearted and gen- erous to a fault, he had a pleasant word and a kindly smile for everyone. He attended the Unitarian church; was a Republican in poli- tics ; a member of Hiram Lodge of Masons ; a trustee of the Arlington Five Cents Savings Bank.

He was reared to manhood under the parental roof, and at the age of eighteen took up the practical duties of life and became en- gaged in caring for the homestead farm; he conducted the farm up to the time of his death. He became well and favorably known ; he was a quiet and unassuming man, kind and sympa-
thetic, and many men from Boston attended his funeral.
The Frost homestead stood on what is now the Newell C. Frost estate, occupied by Miss M. D. Frost.
