My bmebend's maternal © _» grandfather wae John Frost Jenkins, born 1851 in Winamec, Ind. His mother was Margaret Frost b about 1824 ; ‘we believe in Ohio, but that is. all we know ” date ‘about, her. , When I do mmenteh He any Ohio county I look for-Frosts and so have a- record of the estate of a William Frost in Miami County.‘’) 7’ It is case No. 1565 in Book C at page 805, in case you do not have the information-.and want to write about it. I . noted an Elizabeth Frost - in the old ae Record Index (1807-1871). Our library has good histories of Miami County so if I can check anything for you #here or when I next get to Migmi County, let me know end I will be gled to do it. ~ : In the fall of 1962 I corresponded with i woman in Washington D.C. who hed a great deal of Frost information dating back to a John Frost. in Frederic Co., Va. -in-1734. He was a Quaker and she has many Fenerat ions of his descendants. -It may be that jane. could help | you if you have not already eomtncted. her. She Me —s Mrs. John C. Donshee 6512 Eighth St., N.W. Washington 12, D.C. “About the Rev. John Thomson, I should certainly like to _ know about him. The James Thomson who came to Dayton about 1795 was a Presbyterian. His wife's names was Nancy, but I know nothing about his life before 1795, or his parents, or brothers and sisters, if any. (Vlaybde I'll have to check early eastern Thowsons and work from thet direction. 1811 keep your letter in my Frost file end if I ever - get back eas far as your Froste, maybe there will be a relationship.

William Few, Sr., born in Pennsylvania about 1709, removed to Maryland as a young man settling in eeticotre County. .In 1758, accompanied by his wholé farhily, he emigrated to North Carolina. Here he settled on a tract of 640 acres of land, séme seven miles east of Childsburg, Orange County, which tract he purchased from James Taylor. In conjunction with his brother James, William Few erected a saw and grist mill upon Eno River., In 1764 heepurctiased what was afterwards known as the ‘‘ Kirkland place, "’ a plantation of some 200 acres‘one mile east of Childsburg and regfoved thither with his family. In 1767 he purchased a tract of land on Little Rive? 3 a William Few was a man of education and substance, highly. regarded in the community. dle kept a tavern at his house and was several times foreman of the county court grand jury. He was sympatheti: with the reforms for which the Regulators were agitating; but he took no part in the agitations them selyes. It is noteworthy that he, and John Butler, who was opposed tothe Regulation, at the September court, 1768, weriton the bond of the latter's brother, William, one of the most active of the Régulators As the result of-going sutety for several persons, William Few’ became.entangled in law suits iti 1769 and 1770. . Judgments agalust him compelled him to sell 4 latge part of hig property to meet fhem He himself removed with his family to Georgia in 1771; and left to his son, ‘VWuliam. Jr. (born June 8, 1748), the settlement of his estate. Following the battle of Alamance and the disgraceful execution of his son, James, a religious zealot, William Few suffered the disaster of having his crops of wheat, barley, and oats dévoured by the horses of Tryon’s arrhy, and trampled down and ruined, a punishment ~ devised by the governor for the’ father and family of James Few. On June 27, 1770, William Few conveyed the Kirkland place to Johrt Butler, then shetiff;-and he in turn conveyed this tract to the Scotch mercliant, Ralph MacNair, on July 23 1771. To make up for Tryon's vindictive seizure of his crops,.Few was later-dinply compensated for his losses by the; colonial assembly , In his Adticus letter Mautice Moore denounces Tryon for the execution of James Few, who he says was “in a state.of insanity,”’ and for his cruel treatment of Williah kew and family Phe sacrifice of kew, under its criminal circumstances, could neither atone for his‘crime nur abate your rage; this Meee [Th fa oa ae ifn y “pee v) wet hea pti fei R-.
