    John (Frost), the brother of William, was living in the neighborhood in 1672, for he, with wife Abigail, buys land there from Robert Williams, but shortly after he crossed to the "Main land" and located in New Haven, Conn., dying there in 1700, leaving a large family.

    John Frost (brother of William of Oyster Bay, Long Island), was living in Southold, L. I., in 1655-6, and probably on his return to New Haven, Conn., stopped at Killingsworth (Oyster Bay), for in 1672 he buys land there of Robert Williams, and his wife signs as Abigail Frost. In 1679 he also buys land there in Oyster Bay Cove, opposite Thomas Young's. Just when he crossed over to New Haven has not been ascertained, nor do we know how large a family he had but we find his son John marrying in that place in 1665.

    John (Frost) [the "son"], b c. 1642, d 1700.

  4. ↑ In the Families of Ancient New Haven sketch of John Frost, son, according to Josephine Frost, of this man, Jacobus does not mention the younger John's origin. From the two mentions of the elder John in the Frost genealogy, it appears likely that it was the younger John who died "there in 1700, leaving a large family." If that were the case, it is entirely possible that only the younger John came over to New Haven from Long Island.
