In 1662 Nicholas Frost came from Bristol. Eng .. and lived as an apprentice with Francis Littlefield. Senior, of Wells. He took the oath of fidelity in 1660. His wife was Mary, sister to Edward Small. She deposed. 16 June 1677, that she was then twenty-one years of age or thereabouts. This Nicholas Frost is called the "beaver trader." His name appears several times in the Court Records. He and wife Mary sold. in 1674. land on both sides of Salmon Falls Brook and bought land in what is now upper Eliot. In a letter of Ichabod Plaisted to Capt. John Hill it is said that "Nicholas Frost's wife and two children" were carried away by Indians 8 June 1693. Nicholas himself was captured about the same time and was reported as "drowned" in 1698. At this last date his wife was licensed to keep a public house of enertainment. In 1707 she was made administratrix of her husband Nicholas Frost's estate, "late of Kittery, deceased." and Samuel Small was one of the sureties. Administration was granted. 26 Nov. 1712, to "Bartholomew Frost. son of Nicholas Frost, late of Kittery, yeoman, decease.l." It is evident that Mary had died. It is also evident from York Deeds. Book \11L., Fol. 123-4. that Nicholas Frost had six children living in 1715. That Nicholas and Mary were his children is proved beyond a question by a court record. Children :
NICHOLAS m. after 1700. Dorothy Mendum.

George Frost lived at Winter Harbor, Saco, and was appraiser of the estate of Richard Williams in 1635. He served on the grand jury in 1640. Nothing more is known of him, but the fact that several Frosts appear in his vicinity a generation later, that can not be traced to any other ancestor, warrants the belief that he was the father of the following. Goody Frost was assigned to a pew in the church at Winter Harbor next to the pew of Goody Wakefield. 22 Sept. 1666.

2. William Frost witnessed a deed at Winter Harbor in 1667 and bought land in Saco of William Phillips in 1673. It may have been he who had a grant of land on Crooked Lane, in Kit- tery. in 1658. The Indian War drove him to Salem, Mass., where he was living. 1675-9. William Frost, cordwainer, of Salem, bought land in Wells. Me., in 1679, and had various grants and mill privileges in Wells till 1690. His estate was administered in 1690 by Israel Harden, and William Frost, Jr., was bondsman.

In all of the several Frost families the name sometimes appears in court records and deeds as Fost. John Fost was in Dover in 1665 and was a juryman in1667-9. 1671, and 1688. He married Mary, dau. of William Chadbourne, and she is mentioned in Humphrey Chadbourne's will. 1667. He may have married (2) Sarah Gosse 15 Aug. 1688.

John Fost, perhaps son of the above, made his will 17 Dec. 1699, which was probated 17 April 1700. It names wife Eliza- beth and following children :
WILLIAM b. II March. 1673. See below.
MARY m. James Warren, Jr .. about 1692. HUMPHREY m. Catharine Widow Catharine Frost sold, 16 Nov. 1761. ten acres granted to her husband in 1734. in Somersworth. N. H. Tate says she d. in Dover, 14 March 1776.

William Fost, named above, married Margery, dau. of Nathan Lord. about 1692. A William Foss married. 26 April 1703. Sarah. widow of Nathaniel Heard of Dover and had dau. Lydia born 7 Jan. 1705. \ Lydia Fost married Peter Grant 24 Feb. 1717. and this is the only Lydia Fost I can find. She was then but a trifle over twelve years of age, vet such a marriage is not impossible. William Fost or Frost is mentioned in Dover ( Rol- linsford) in 1704. 1716 and 1732. Jan. 15, 1735, John Waldron of Dover, and Mary, his wife, Joseph Conner of Dover. and Sarah, his wife. James Richards of Dover, and Margery, his wife, and Benjamin Frost of Rochester, quit-claim to Benjamin Lord of Berwick all right to estate of Abraham Lord and William Lord of Berwick. York Deeds, XVIII. 185. June 9, 1737, William Frost of Portsmouth, mariner, made a similar quit-claim. The children, then, of William and Margery ( Lord ) Frost were :
WILLIAM m. Elizabeth Snell of Portsmouth. I June 1716. He is called "William ffoss formerly of Nichawannock. now of Portsmouth."
MARY m. John Waldron of Dover. SARAH m. Joseph Conner of Dover. MARGERY m. James Richards of Dover.
BENJAMIN m. Ann Hodsdon.
William Frost bought forty acres of James Stackpole in what is now Rollinsford. in 1714, and sokl the same to Benjamin Hoeg 2 Oct. 1721. This was perhaps the one who married Elizabeth Snell. He returned from Portsmouth to Dover and, 13 Dec. 1741. William and Elizabeth Frost. his wife, of Dover, sold to Giles Seward half of a house with small piece of land in Portsmouth. In these deeds the name is written forst and Frost. The estate
431
AND HER FAMILIES
of William Frost' of Dover was appraised 29 June 1764, and William Frost was administrator. He is called Frost in the inventory and Foss in the administration.
It was, doubtless, the last named William Frost who married Mary, widow of Benjamin Hanson. June 18, 1739, William Forst and wife Mary sold to Amos Main land in Rochester, which was granted to William Forst, Benjamin Forst and Samuel Alley. Children :

"formerly of Dover now of Durham, laborer." conveyed, 10 May 1735. to Samuel Chesley his right in commons of Dover, once belonging to Nicholas Brock. All these Forsts, Fosts and Frosts are given here, in order that they may not be confused with the Frost families of Eliot and Berwick. Some of the descendants now write their names Foss. I think the original name was Frost and was miscalled Fost and Forst, just as the Eliot name sometimes was.
