William FROST

Male


Personal Information    |    Sources    |    All    |    PDF

  • Name William FROST  [1] 
    • Some suggestion that father of William was Thomas Frost. While inconclusive evidence, a Thomas Frost did emigrate to Nova Scotia from England, as part of the "Cornwallis" settlers in 1749. In Planters and Pioneers (Esther Clark Wright), the entry states for Thomas Frost: Halifax, 1749, weaver, Baltimore (ship), 1 male, a female above 16, 1752. (p. 119)

      Several other Frost individuals named in this book but all were settled in Shelburne or Annapolis counties and their lines can be easily traced as being in those areas for several generations and no connection to Thomas Frost found.

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024. ENTRIES FOR SOME GENEALOGIES WILL NOT REFLECT SOURCE CITATIONS AS THE RESEARCH WAS STILL IN PROGRESS. The Friends of McNabs Island Society, a registered charity based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, established this genealogical website partly in response to the growing interest in family history research and enquiries arising from that interest. Volunteers with professional genealogical experience have undertaken the research. To the degree possible, the research follows accepted standards of genealogical research, with appropriate evidence and source citations.
