    • Edward was the son of John Frost and Ann Scott, born in March of 1561 at Glemsford, Suffolk, England. He was baptised at St. Mary the Virgin Church in Glemsford on March 13, 1561. Edward became a clothier, as was his father. A clothier was a middleman in the manufacture of woolen cloth, the principal industry of England at the time. A clothier would buy wool on the sheep, then have the shearing, spinning and weaving done by private contractors. He then arranged the sale of the finished product. Most clothiers also had a shop from which they sold cloth, clothing and supplies.

      On September 26, 1585 Edward married Thomasine Belgrave at Glemsford. Thomasine was the daughter of John Belgrave and Joanna Strutt. She was born at Leverington in Cambridgeshire and baptised there on February 1, 1562. Edward & Thomasine resided in Glemsford for about three years and had their first two children baptised there. They moved to nearby Stanstead about 1588, and lived there the rest of their lives. Church records at Glemsford and Stanstead show the births of eight children to Edward and Thomasine. Edward made his will in July of 1616. He mentioned wife Thomasine, son William, daughters Elizabeth wife of Henry Rice, Anne wife of Lawrence Collen, Alice wife of Thomas Blower, Mary & Thomasine. Also Edward Rice, son of daughter Elizabeth. Edward was buried at Stanstead on August 3, 1616. His will was proved at the Prerogative Court in Canterbury on October 4, 1616. There is no record of Thomasine's death, but she must have outlived Edward because she is mentioned in his will. She probably died about 1620. Edward was buried in the churchyard of St. James Church in Stanstead. [2]
