  Notes	According to lore in the families of several descendants of John FROST, the FROSTs came to America from Wales. One example of such lore is the following: "In 1683 several members arrived in America from the Parish of Llainhaugel yr. helyge Radnorshire (Wales) and resided in Pennsylvania as Quakers. From there, they migrated to Maryland, Virginia, Tennessee, South Carolina and Texas." [See: http://awt.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=cwh001&id=I01162] John Frost purchased a 380-acre tract (surveyed on 25 September 1734) from the Colony on 12 November 1735. He lived on this land located about ¾ miles south of present-day Stephenson, Frederick County, Virginia. On 10 January 1737, he sold 200 acres to Peter Falkner, "Opechon store keeper," of Orange County for 20 pounds. . . . After Frost had moved to the Back Creek area, the remaining 180 acres were sold on 20 September 1743 to John Milburn of West New Jersey for 100 pounds. . . .
