Can you tell me where you got this info.? I've been trying to research various Vt. units, but not having much luck. Are there muster lists somewhere? Also, since the two officers were from the same area in Bennington Co., do you know if that would that be the area where most of the troops were from, also? (I have done a lot of research on the Rev. War, but next-to-nothing on the War of 1812). Thanks, Pat Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

White was a clergyman. All census and other searches always refered to him as "high school teacher"....in fact I believe that the Leonard P. Frost (wife Eliza) who lived at Waltham MA became the principal of that school, there may even be a library named after him? Just wondering, Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

I am also descended from (Elder) Edmund FROST. I'll post my line below. Out of curiousity, I went to the family-line in that information posted by a researcher at the WorldConnect Project. In case it will help others, here is a brief summary of that line: (Elder) Edmund FROST and Thomasine CLENCH/E Samuel FROST and (1) Mary COLE, (2) E.. MILLER Joseph FROST and Zerviah COOLEY Noah FROST and Mary HOAR Leonard FROST and Huldah BEEDE Leonard P. FROST and Eliza WHITE Note: Samuel FROST moved from Cambridge to Billerica. He was the 3rd child of Elder FROST. Note: This "line" moved around a lot. Note: Elder Edmund FROST had 9 children; the 8 with his first wife included 7 sons and one daughter. Note: From a posting I made in Dec. 08 at www.genforum.com this is my line (based on on-line research, and a few books I have) Edmund FROST and Thomasine CLENCH/E Ephraim FROST and Hepzabah PRATT Ephraim FROST and Sarah COOPER Samuel FROST and Abigail CUTTER Sarah FROST and John HUTCHINSON (large, long-standing HUTCHINSON farm in Winchester, MA) (There was an instance of brothers marrying sisters: Samuel's brother, Ephraim, m. Mary CUTTER, sis of Abigail. And, Sarah FROST's sister, Lydia Harrington FROST, m. Simeon CROSBY, and their child, John CROSBY, married Mary BUCKNAM. They had 4 daughters then one son, including Eliza Ann CROSBY who married Jacob Homer HUTCHINSON, from above family. ) (So I am descended from Samuel FROST and Abigail CUTTER twice.) (My family-tree includes many Cambridge, West Cambridge (now Arlington, MA), and Billerica families.) (son, John CROSBY, owned a large farm in Arlington, down the street from the HUTCHINSON farm) (Simeon was born in Billerica and descended from patriarch, Simon CROSBY.) Hope this is either helpful or interesting. Betty (near Lowell, MA) Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
