Notes

Child of Mark and Catherine Frost. FamilySearch PID: LTMR-ZQ5. Resided: 1850 Kilmarnock, ME; 1860 Medford, Piscataquis, ME (confirmed in 1860 census). SESSION 3 FINDING (2026-03-31): Found in 1865 Massachusetts State Census (ark:/61903/1:1:MQH5-3Q1) in Haverhill, Essex County, MA — age 17, born 1848 Maine, single, living in household of Nathaniel Frost (age 61, born 1804 Maine, widowed). Nathaniel Frost (PID M665-WYH, 1804-1879) is confirmed as Benjamin Frost's 8th child — Mark Frost's older brother and Sarah's uncle. Sarah left Maine as a teenager to live with extended family in Massachusetts, paralleling sister Nellie Burton Frost who also moved to MA young. The 1865 record is linked to her 1860 census entry via FamilySearch 'Similar Records', confirming identity. Other household members: Nathaniel Frost Jr (35), Loring W Frost (27), Helen Frost (20, NH), Lorinda Frost (38), Caroline A Frost (30), Fidelia Frost (28), Ellen L Frost (19). Also noted: NJ marriage record (ark:/61903/1:1:FZGK-VQ1) shows a 'Sarah F. Frost' (age 42, birth ~1847, U.S.) marrying Robert Waldron on 1 Oct 1889 in Rahway, Union, NJ — low confidence match (birth year close but no state-level birthplace confirmation; listed as previously married). ELIMINATED: 1880 Census Hampden, Penobscot 'Sarah F. Frost' (ark:/61903/1:1:MFQM-549) married to 'Chas. Frost' — this woman's maiden name was Sara Freeman Gorton per Maine Vital Records and FindAGrave; she is a different person. No records after 1865 confirmed for our Sarah.
