Biography

Her husband, Joseph Frost, and his children, along with Hannah's siblings, are mentioned in the will of the Widow Susanna White of Charlestown, dated March 25, 1681, proved March 29, 1687, in which Susanna devised to cousins Jabob [H]ewins of Dorchester, John Miller of Yarmouth, Mehetabel Crow and Mary (wife of John Whittemore); to Elizabeth, wife of Samuel Frost of Billerica; to Lydia Fish of Sandwich; Faith Winslow; to children of Joseph Frost, 1/2 to the 3 eldest, half to 3 youngest, amongst others. ^{[1] [2]}

Since all of her siblings are given bequests directly in Susanna White's will, one might assume Hannah had died. But the Frost genealogy says she was granted administration on his estate 23 Jan 1692/3. ^[3]

Her parents and spouse are confirmed for us by an entry in the records of the First Church of Charlestown: "Hannah Frost ye wife of bro: Joseph" and "ye daughter of Rd mr Miller" admitted to full communion on 14 August 1670.^[4]
