He died in the spring of 1707, his estate being inventoried on 4 April of that year. Among his CHILDREN were: 1. A daughter, stillborn, 17 March 1665. [Note: Some writers record this child as Daniel, but the New Haven records are clearly "daughter."] 2. John, born 26 May 1668; married 20 August 1692, Abigail, daughter of Thomas Barnes, of New Haven. She was born 11 Jan. 1656. They were of Newark, New Jersey, in 1717, when he conveyed to his brother Ebenezer all his right in the home of his father and mother, John and Mercy FROST, of New Haven. 3. Abigail, born 8 Oct. 1670; married (1) Thomas BARNES; married (2) Samuel TUTTLE. 4. Elizabeth, born 1673; married (1) William Reynolds; married (2) William Headley. 5. Sarah, born 3 Sept. 1675; died 8 Nov. 1727; married (1) Thomas Youngs, of Southold, Long Island; married (2) 28 May 1690, John Tuthill. 6.

Samuel, born 8 Feb. 1681; married 8 Aug. 1706, Sarah, daughter of Richard Towner, ancestor of Emma Hale in another line. Samuel died in 1718, and his widow married, as his third wife, Henry Cook, whom she survived. 9. Hannah, born 2 Feb. 1685. 10. A writer (Ancestry of Arthur Orison Dillon, 26), also adds, as tenth child, Rebecca, baptized 1690. The New Haven Vital Records carry two entries, on page 70 of the printed volume [21]: "John Frost's Child died 1690"; and "John Frost's other child died 1690." These may have referred to the Rebecca mentioned. They could not be children of John Frost, jr., who was not married until the following year. See pedigree charts for listing of children.
