Rev Amariah Frost
born in Framingham 1720, son of Samuel and Elizabeth Rice
; of Mendon (Millriver) now Milford . Married Esther Messinger daughter of
Rev Henry Messinger of Wrentham, Suffolk (now Norfolk?) 1747.

"A record of my genealogy as far as I can trace it back according to the best
accounts received by tradition: John Frost of England, in the time of the
Non-conformists wherein a great number were silenced in England, was one of
them. Two of his sons came to America -- fled for refuge to this then savage
wilderness, to escape the more savage oppression and enjoy the freedom of
Englishmen.
Nicholas and Edmund, came to America, about 1635 of whom, Nicholas settled in
Portsmouth NH.
Edmund Frost settled in Cambridge and was ruling elder in Rev Thomas
Shephard's church.
Samuel Frost, my father, of Framingham, in the county of Middlesex, and
province of MA Bay, in New England was a descendant of the fifth generation.

My mother was Elizabeth Rice, the daughter of Dea Rice of Framingham was
descended from the Walkers of England. "

Rev. Mr. Frost's wife died in 1778 and he then married Susanna, the youngest
daughter of Rev. Joseph Dorr of Mendon
