Above children were all born at Tewksbury, Mass. In 1790, Jona- than was given as Head of his family at Sandwich, N. H., and. in 1799 bought a piece of land for which he paid $200.00 in Moulton- borough, N. H., on May 20, 1799 Recorded July 1st, 1799. Lot con- tained 100 acres.

2. "Jacob, Born June 16, 1808, bapt. July 10. Parents: George J. Snell and Elizabeth. Sponsors: Jacob J. Snell and Caty Wagg- oner," rec. Stone Arabia Dutch Ref. Ch. The sponsors were prob- ably the infants paternal uncle Jacob J. 4 Snell and the infant's maternal grandmother, Catharine
Joseph 3 Waggoner. Cuyler Rey- molds' "Geneal. of the Mohawk and Hudson Valleys," II, 819
gives Jacob b. 1808, as a son of George Snell and Wagner and W. P. Webster's unpub. dia- grams as a son of "George I. Snell and Elizabeth 4 Wagner." Both H. P. Long and Col. O. W. Bell concur as do I.
3. "Charles ,born June 6, 1810, baptized July 14. Parents: Geo. J. Snell and Elizabeth. Sponsors: Jacob D. Markell and wife Eli- zabeth," rec. Stone Arabia Dut. Ref. Ch. Identity of the sponsors wanted. The parents of the Geonge J. 4 Snell who mar. Elizabeth 4 Waggoner were Jacob G. 3 Snell and Maria D. Markell, dau. of Deobold or Teobald. This Jacob G. 3 had a sister Anna Elizabeth 3 Snell, 1770-1822, who married Judge Jacob Markell. Were they the sponsors? If so, was Judge Jacob a bro. of Maria D. Markell above who mar. Jacob 3 Snell.
W. P. Webster, H. P. Long, and Col. Bell include the above Char- les as son of George J .Snell and Elizabeth 4 Waggoner. It can
also be noted that said Charles named his eldest son "Jeremiah," probably after his bro Jeremiah, bapt. Jeremias. See No. 7 below. 4. "James, born Jan. 31, 1813, bapt. , April 18. Parents: George J. Snell and Elizabeth. Sponsors: Jacob Snell Esq. and wife Eliza- beth," whose identities are needed for possible clues. This James D. y., as shown by his death inscrip -. tion on the Jost W. Snell monu- ment, "James, son of George I. and Elizabeth Snell, died May 14, 1822 ,aged 9 yrs. 4 mos. and 14 days," which would make birth Jan .1, 1813, a discrepancy of 30 days, accounted for perhaps by a mistake in transcribing eith- er record or even in the original entries. of one or the other. His Inclusion on said monument iden- tifies his conclusively as a son of Geonge J. 4 Snell and Eliza- beth 4 Waggoner and as a bro. of Elizabeth," rec. Stone Arabia Dut. Jost W. 5 Snell. Also it should

1822, aged 21 days," according to inscription on the Jost W. 'Snell his monument. There can therefore be no other conclusion than that this George S. was a son of George J. 4 Snell and Elizabeth 4, Wag- goner and a bro of said Jost W. But what does the middle initial "'S" stand for ?

9 "Levl, born Aug. 19, 1819, son of George J. and Elizabeth Snell" so stated Hallock P. Long without giving his source, which source Col. Bell has not been able to find. Help needed. I believe that Levi was a son of some other George J. and Elizabeth Snell, whose id- entities are wanted. If Levi had been a son of George J. 4 Snell and Elizabeth 4 Waggoner, then Lucinda's birth the next month (see No. 10 below) would have been impossible.

FROST, and Allied Family Gen. Mrs. Lucille Iverson, The Enterprise and News St. Johnsville, N. Y. Dear Mrs. Iverson: :
Writer started "cold Turkey" in 1921 when on a sales trip to Ver- mont calling on retail lumber dealers for a local wholesaler, and, on that trip so long ago, secured data on births, marriages and deaths procurabie from Town Clerk's records; being green in Genealogical research then, didn't know where or from whom the in- formation was received, and, now, don't remember.
In 1926, began work on my Frost and" Allied- Family Genea- logy; our National Family His- torian not having our Family re- cords beyond the fourth Genera- tion, and, decided to supplement his work, which as to his credit was monumental ;so much so he, had failed to find my Family Re- cords in Tewksbury Vital Records, and evidently never had seen them before mine arrived at his home at Petaluma, California. Believe by end of next winter, I will have the loose ends of my western rost relatives fairly com- plete and copied correctly.
One of my "scoops" in News- paper parlance was discovery in old Church Records of First Church, Newton, Mass. now Cam- bridge, 1632-1830, giving baptis- mal records of Elder Edmund Frost, his first wife; Thomasine, and their eight children.
My line is from his 3rd son: Dr. Samuel Frost of Cambridge that there must have been two
and Billerica, Mass., thru his 11th child Edmund, by his second wife, Elizabeth (Miller) Frost, daught- er of Rev. John Miller a graduate of Caius College ,Cambridge Eng- land.
Edmund's 5th child by his wife: Hannah (Kittredge) Frost, was Edmund, Jr., and Edmund Jr., married Anna French, of the Town of Billerlca; but they lived at Tewksbury, Mass. where all of who was she ? their eleven children were born.
Their first child was named Jonathan and he was born Oct. 27, 1750 and marrled Susanna Merrill, daughter of Elizabeth and of Stephen born at Tewksbury, Mass., born May 15, 1750. They were married . (Page 129 Tewks- bury, Mass. Vital Records) on May 9, 1771, and their first child Jonathan M. was born Nov. 26, 1771. Susanna, his sister was born July 6, 1773. Edmund, another child born June 11, 1775, d. Sept. 29, 1775. Enoch was born Jan. 5, 1777. Hannah was born Sept. 1781. Edmund was born Aug. 19, 1779.
There were eight children by this marriage and Hannah died and Jonathan M. married 2, Miss Elizabeth Morse in 1813 and there were three sons born at Sand- wich, N. H. and nine more sons and three daughters born at Sut- ton, Vt., to which town Jonathan took his first family and three sons of his second family in 1820. My grandfather: : Charles Hi- ram Frost was the second son of the second marriage and b. Sept. 23 1818 at Sandwich, N. H.
One of the records I got In 1921 on my Vermont trip was the birth of Jonathan Blake at Moul- tonborough, N. H. in 1800 the first child of Susanna and John 6. Blake. Their next was John 7. Blake, b. at Sandwich in 1811. Their next was Sarah, b. Sand- wich, Sept. 22, 1818 the day be- fore my Grandfather was born; they being children of brother and sister therefore first cousins.
My grandfather married, when she was 16 and ten days old, at hls age of about 10 days lacking 23 Almira (Bean Frost; first-born daughter of Mary Stiles and John Bean who were married at Dan- vilie, Vit., in $1824 by Pastor of Congregational Church, E. Hoill- ster on April 27.

they ?

bapt. June 22nd 1817. Parents: George J. Snell and Elizabeth. Sponsors: Martin J. Dillenbeck and wife Elizabeth," rec. Stone Arabia Luth Ch. Wagner descend- ants, including W. P. Webster, have him a son of George J. 4 Snell and Elizabeth 4 Waggoner, but proof is needed. An old obitu- ary states that Dr Jeremiah Snell died in Port Jackson (now Ams- terdam), N. Y. ae. 62, but gives neither wife nor child. Webster's diagrams have 2 chil. Johnson B. and Libby. Help asked in tracing their descendants. Col.
