FROST.


There were three distinct families named Frost in old Kittery, and they have been somewhat confused by genealogists. The family of the first Nicholas Frost is here considered. An old family Bible is said to contain the following record :


"JOHN FROST, Borne Now'br ye 17th 1558 near Cornbre Hill. Cornwall. ANNA HAMDEN, Borne Oct'r ye 8th. 1565 near Caer Bran, Cornwall. JOHN and ANNA, Marride. May ye 10th 1582.

CHARLES, Borne Dec'r ye 15th, 1588, Tiverton.


SAMUEL, Borne Jan'y ye 28th. 1591. Tiverton.


ELIZABETH, Borne ffeb ye 12th. 1593. Tiverton. Nicholas, Marride Bertha Cadwalla Jan'y 1630 ffrom Tavistock. Devon.

1. The Nicholas Frost above named settled at Leighton's Point in 1634. See pp. 107-9. He died 20 July 1663. The tra- dition that his wife and daughter Anna were killed by Indians 4 July 1650 needs more evidence. The dates of births of his children are said to be based upon old papers of the family. There seem to be some errors. Charles died 4 July 1697, "in the 65th year of his age." He was born, then, in 1633. Two depositions of Elizabeth ( Frost ) Gowen, one made at the age of 79 and the other at the age of 84. declare that she was born in 1645, instead of 1640. Also his daughter Catharine Hammond is said to have died 15 Aug. 1715, aged 82, born therefore in 1633 instead of 1637. The record is here given, however, as repeatedly pub- lished.


2. CHARLES b. 30 July 1631 in Tiverton, Eng. ; m. Mary Bolles.


3. JOHN b. 7 Aug. 1633 in Tiverton. Settled in Boston. ANNA b. 17 April 1635 at Little Harbor, America.


CATHERINE b. 25 Dec. 1637 in Kittery: m. Wm. Leighton. (2) Jos. Hammond.


ELIZABETH b. 10 May 1640 in Kittery ; m. Wm. Gowen 14 May 1667. NICHOLAS b. 30 May 1645 in Kittery : d. in Limerick. Ireland, Aug. 1672.


2. Major Charles Frost married Mary, dau. of Joseph and Mary ( Howell) Bolles (or Bowles) of Wells, Me. The date of marriage is said to have been 27 Dec. 1675, but it must have been ten years or more earlier, as will be seen. He was killed by Indians 4 July 1697. in the 65th year of his age. as the inscription on his tombstone says. His wife was born 4 Jan. 1641, in York, Me., and died 'TI Nov. 1704. Old family papers and the records of Kittery are certainly in error as to the births of his children. The account of his family was probably inserted in the records of Kittery many years after his death, and the dates were manufac-
