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.

Hello Betty - I always find your posts helpful and interesting and I thank you much for posting so much info. I have a question about this post. I know you have made reference to Lydia Harrington FROST in other posts, but I've never been able to place her in my own database. You say Sarah FROST is her sister. Who are their parents? Also, which Simon CROSBY did Lydia Harrington marry? I have 10 in my database. Somehow, you and I are very distantly related, I'm sure as my 9th ggrandfather was Robert CROSBY who m.
