  Notes	(1) Frost, Josephine C., The Frost Genealogy, New York, NY: Frederick H. Hitchcock, 1912, p. 28: JOHN, son of William and Hannah (Pryer) Frost, b. 11th of 12th mo., 1708; m. Phebe, daughter of David Tillear or as the name was later known "Tilley" and the name as "Tille" is still continued in some lines of their descendants. John was a cabinet maker and had a farm at "ye spring," now known as Mutton town or Spring Hill, Oyster Bay Township. Issue: [i] Sarah. [ii] David. [iii] John. [iv] George, m. and had sons, Timothy and James. Phebe, after the death of John, m. Thomas, son of Joseph and Martha J. (Bowne) Thorne of Flushing and Musketa Cove, N.Y., who was b. 1704, and d. 1764-7. It is possible that John had a wife prior to his marriage with Phebe Tilley by the name of Rachel Wright, whom he married Jan. 12, 1786-7. In 1730 Wright and Wm. Frost, yeomen, convey to John Frost, brother to said William (carpenter), two parcels of land in the Old Purchase, 16 acres by the Spring, North and west by John Ruland, east by John Jackson, other on road from Jericho to Matinecock adjoining Barnes Cole and Josias Laitting. William also conveys some meadows at South. Wit. Samuel Underhill and Wm. Wright. Phebe Tilley after the death of her husband John Frost m. Thomas Thorn as above and moved to Cortland Manor, N.Y. Being Tories, the sons of Thomas and Phebe fled to the western part of Long Island during the Revolution, which was occupied by the British. James and Melancthon m. there but Jacob's wife was from Westchester. Melancthon went to St. Johns, N. B., but returned. [Note by compiler: This record uses "Quaker dates." See the following discussion of these dates in Berry, Ellen Thomas and Berry, David Allen, Our Quaker Ancestors: Finding Them in Quaker Records, Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc., 1987, p. 67: Quakers . . . did not use names for days of the week or months of the year since most of these names were derived from the names of pagan gods. A date such as August 19, 1748 will never be found. Rather it would be written "19th da 6th mo 1748." Sometimes this will be written as 6mo 19da 1748. Why 6th month since August is the 8th month? The Quakers, along with everyone else in the American Colonies and England, did not begin using the Gregorian calendar until 1752. Under the Julian calendar the year began on March 25th; March was the first month and February the twelfth month. This is something of a problem when an event occurred in the months of January, February or up to March 25th, for then the date is given as 1748/1749.] (2) www.findagrave.com: John Frost Birth: 11 Dec 1708, Matinecock, Nassau County, New York, USA Death: Unknown Burial: Frost Cemetery, Lattingtown, Nassau County, New York, USA . . .
