Bio from Find a Grave

James FROST (1643-1711), son of Elder Edmund FROST (1593-1672) of Cambridge, was born there Apr. 9, 1643 [1]. In the division of Shawshine, now called Billerica, Lot No. 49, of two hundred acres, was assigned to the Elder, which lot he divided among his sons. On the fourth of January, 1663, James FROST and his brother Samuel were accepted as inhabitants of the town, and James settled there at once, where he seems to have led a quiet uneventful life, taking but little part in the Indian troubles or of the affairs of the town, but devoted to the church, of which he was a Deacon.

His first wife, whom he married Dec. 17, 1664, was Rebecca, daughter of William HAMLET. He was born about 1614, and married Sarah, the widow of James HUBBARD. She died at Woburn, Jan. 18, 1689, having survived her second husband, William HAMLET. Rebecca died Aug. 20, 1666, having survived the birth of her first child only six days.
