    Great Migration: Edmund Frost (1609-1672)    		Great Migration: Edmund Frost (1609-1672)
    Edmund and Thomasine (Clench) Frost were married in Earls Colne, Essex, England on April 16, 1634. It is believed that they migrated in 1635 to Cambridge, attempting a crossing in the Great Hope which only made it to Yarmouth, England and then completing the trip on the Defence, landing in Boston on October 2, 1635. They lived in Cambridge where he became a freeman in 1636 and was one of the original members of the First Congregational Church of Cambridge , being installed as Elder in February of that year, and then Deacon. 

    Edmund's original lands were on the West side of Dunster St. between Harvard Square and Mt. Auburn St. He sold them and bought a house on the west side of Garden St, which he sold in 1646. He became one of the first members of the governing body of Harvard, which was established in 1636. His will was signed with his written signature and named his 9 children with Thomasine, all but the first born in Cambridge.

    Thomasine had previously been identified as a Gateway ancestor, believed to have been the Thomasine Clench baptized Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, 6 October 1608, the daughter of Robert Clench and Joan Webbe. However, a subsequent, 2021 article refutes this, based largely on her likely age at marriage, and makes a case for Thomasine being baptized in Colchester on August 1, 1613, daughter of John Clench and Mary (Marshall) Clench. This is still being researched.

    We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) side.
