[Note by compiler: There are two populated places named Rochester in present-day New York, one of which places is the Town of Rochester in Ulster County, and the other one of which places is the City of Rochester in Monroe County. At the time of the 2010 census, the population of the Town of Rochester was 7,313, and the population of the City of Rochester was 210,565. The compiler believes that George Pepperrell Frost died in the Town of Rochester, Ulster County, NY.] Family links: Parents: John Frost (1709 - 1768), Sarah Gerrish Frost (1714 - 1798); Spouses: Elizabeth Gorsline Frost (1762 - 1794), Agnes Green Frost (1773 - 1842); Children: Sarah Frost Carson (1787 - ____), Elizabeth W.
