    1. Re: [VERMONT] FROST family
    2. Betty
    3. Hi Joan, Because it's early here, I will just make a few comments for the moment. Later in the day I will check my notes (in archives of MA Lists), and provide more details. It was about a year ago that I was looking at my CROSBY line, and I noticed that something didn't look right. Most people had the Simon / Simeon CROSBY who married Lydia H. FROST a son of a family which left Billerica, MA, and headed to western MA. I spent a month checking into this, and it just didn't add up. I posted a lot of queries, and checked a few books, and I'm pretty sure I found the correct parents of Simeon CROSBY. Because of a response to my queries, I found out that Simeon was "of Billerica" when he married in Cambridge, MA. So I checked the Billerica book, and the only possible parents I could come up with had some of their children listed. But, their last child was only listed as "a son." I believe this was also in the vital records. So, it is my "educated guess" that Simeon was descended from "Simon CROSBY of 1600's Billerica," but from a different son - than other people had assumed. I post all my findings on the Lists (and sometimes the Boards). By the way, my FROST line should be in the archives of the MA Lists, also. I think I just mentioned it last fall. I'll get back to you later in the day.

Nathaniel moved to Danville, Vt (from Gilmanton, NH) circa 1796, then into Wheelock by 1800 (census). He had three sons, one daughter and his wife, all listed w/him in 1790c. Sons known: John (b. abt 1770) and Jacob (b. abt 1776/7) wife and other two children: unknown John and Jacob's families are accounted for; however, the parents' burial spot is not. Lancaster's book on Wheelock, indicates they may have been buried across from Martin Sinon's farm. (Found farm, but was unable to find graves.) Wheelock's town records were destroyed in a fire, so only land records (deeds) have been useful. John m/ Mary Rines (of Loudon, NH) Jacob m/ Ruth Barnes (in Danville, Vt) Nathaniel was still listed in Wheelock town records in 1818, selling farm products. His grandson (also named Nathaniel and often confused with his grandfather) moved to Sheffield m/Clarissa Ingalls and raised his family there. Can anyone tell me where else I can find info on them?

Remembering that Rev George Winslow Frost is the son of Rev Leonard Frost snr and therefore brother of your Rev Leonard Pickering Frost of Waltham MA. I think that your Rev Leonard Pickering Frost was named after Rev George Pickering out of respect and an obvious relationship that was built between these two families through their Methodist ministries. I have found the following regarding Rev George Pickering, who was clearly a man hugely respected within the Methodist Church and with your Frost family not only being Methodists but also ministers, I think my conjecture holds some substance..... Here is the info on Rev George Pickering; [Draper:92]: The Rev. George Pickering, was, at his death, the oldest effective Methodist minister in the world, having been a preacher for Fifty-seven years. Inheriting from his father a considerable fortune, principally in slaves, he refused to receive them, or any profit from their sale or labor, and they were freed. He also declined to be made a Bishop. He was one of the pioneers of Methodism in New England. At his death there were but two members of American Conferences who had preceeded him in the ministry, and but fourteen in England. Born in Talbot Co., Md. brought up in Philadelphia, and converted in that city at St. George 's Church, at the age of eighteen; he began preaching immediately and continued to do so almost till he died, a period of fifty-nine years. When he entered the ministry there were but eighteen Methodist preachers in the New England conference, when he died, he was at the head of six hundred and thirty-six, most of whom had been raised up by the i! nstrumentality of his colleagues and himself. The church had risen from a membership of 500 to 66,000. His wife Mary Bemis was converted in her seventeenth year. His marriage gave to the Rev. Mr. Pickering a home with his wife's father at Waltham, such as few Methodist ministers enjoyed, and free from the financial cares of life, he was at liberty to pursue his vocation as a minister of the Gospel. The old house descended to him at Abraham Bemis's death.

    3. Sylvia, Thank you for being so helpful. Most are familiar. It's Daniel of Brownington that I'm trying to connect. He must have had a son David who m/ Thankful Heustis and moved west. The Heustis family was also of Brownington. (This David is constantly confused with my David Elkins, who was a minister (just like his son SD), but our David m/ 3 times and is buried in upstate NY with his son and two wives. (First wife is buried in Drown cem. in Wheelock, Vt.) Daniel Elkins of Brownington is the one I'd like to connect. He may have had a few children, who don't appear anywhere. A Reuben Elkins is also noted in Cabot, with a large family and he too just disappears. (Interesting you found Josiah there. That is the one piece of information I had not discovered, although it made sense as Peacham is around the corner.) The Josiah you mentioned (Peacham/Troy) is bro to Samuel of Greensboro and both were involved in the 1837 raid. The only other Elkinses I'm trying to piece in are in the Shrewsbury Vt area. John and Josef. John's wife (Sarah/Sally) died hours after giving birth and Joseph m/ Eliz. Plumer (Sp.) Both seem to have been teachers and it seems John is considered to be father to Joseph, which I'm not too certain about. He (John) married 2nd a Lorraine Jackson (of Wallingford) and seems to have stayed in the area, while Joseph with other relatives moved to Long Lake, NY. I just don't know where else to look for info on these three. Ricky On 3/5/09, Sylvia J. Bugbee <sjbugbee@uvm.edu> wrote: > > Hemenway says that the Elkins of Williston was Rev. Hervey.

Author: pbausman Surnames: Barron Classification: military Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.vermont.unknown/4949.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Patrick - thank you very much for the info. and for researching for me on the CD. The Leonard Barns/Burns you mention is the man I'm looking for. NARA has him as one person in the index to Compiled records (M602) - "Leonard Barns . . . orig. filed under Burns," and there are two nearly identical cards for him that I obtained from NARA. My Leonard Barron's family was very often in earlier records called Barns or Barnes and I suspect that the soldier is actually Leonard Barron. I will look again at Johnson, State of Vermont . . ., to see whether I can figure out where Leonard Barns's comrades were from (it doesn't say for him).
