General Notes (Husband)
Yonge John of his father's will. He was under 26 at that date, in 1549.
The fact that his first marriage took place in 1559 suggests a birth year in the mid to late 1530's. As John Frost Sr, he was buried at Hartest on 9 Feb 1609/ 10. He
Called John Frost junior on his children's baptismal records. (Distinguishes him from his older brother John Frost)
The wills of both young John Frost and Richard Scott plainly place them in the manufacture of woolen cloth, England's principal industry of the day; tehy were, more precisely, middle men who bought the wool, commissioned the shearing, spinning and weaving (all of which were done in private households), and then arranged the sale of the finished product.
In later life, probably between 1585 when his daughter Elizabeth was baptized at Glemsford, and 1588, when his first wife was buried at Hartest, younge John Frost moved some five miles to the latter parish, where he died in 1610.
His will was proved in the court of the Archeaconry of Sudbury on 9 March 1609/10;
John Frost of Hartest, co Sfufolk, Senior, 6 Feb 1609/10. To wife Ellyne all household stuff. To wife Ellin 610 out of two broadcloths now at the weavers, one in custody of John Cawston of Stansted weaver, the other in custody of one Permefy of Hartest weaver. To son John Frost one russet broadcloth, one and a half dozen twill now at the house of Thomas Hardy shearman in Glemsford. To daughter Ales, wife of John Hayward, 68 now in the hands of my son Edward Frost of Stanstead. To daughter of Elizabeth, wife of William Pratt, 50 s. owhereof Abrose Graygouse has 10s. and Bartholomewe Woolwarde has 40s. Residue of all goods, chattels, wool, yarne, "nedills,", etc., I give in manner and form following: 50s. to daughter Elizabeth, wife of William Pratt, all residue [remaining] to wife Ellin, son John Frost, & daughter Ales, wife of John Hayward. Executor: son Edward Frost.
Memorandum: Testator before confirmation of thsi will did give out of the "Surplusage of his goods" 20s. to the children of William Boram who was the son of William Boram, late of Glemsford, and 16 s. to Ann Andrewes "his now maid servant."
Witnesses: Robert Galt, Rychard Holwell, Thomas Cranshaye.

"With both Glemsford and Hartest thick with Frosts, and with two brothers, each named John and each having children baptized at Glemsford over roughly the same period, sorting out lines was-- ... difficult... here-- ... Nonetheless, by correlating names and dates, we have been able to sort out the children of these two JOhns, except for a John baptized on 22 April 1561 (Johannes filis Johannis Frost bapt fuit".
To give the reader an opportunity to judge how correct this sorting out is, I ahve provided pertinetn extracts from teh original Latin entries in teh parish registers, in the lists of children for both John's.
To this material should be added this quotation fro m the will of an unplaced Elizabeth Frost of Glemsford, widow, dated 5 Jan 1558/9 and proved on 30 June 1559. In it she names her sons Thomas, Edward, and Benjamin and wills "that all my goods before bequethed be equalie divided by the discretion of my two brothers [in law?] olde John and yonge John". What became of olde John does not appear, nor do we find evidence to decide which of them was the John Frost named int eh 1568 subsidy list of Glemsford when he was taxed 4s. 2d. on "65 in goodes".
