- Her second husband, son of Edmund and Martha (Washburn) Titus; married after John Prior's death in 1698.
Mother of Hannah (Prior) Frost: the second child and eldest daughter of John Bowne of Flushing, the Quaker banished by Stuyvesant, and his first wife Hannah Feake. She was four when her father was taken to Fort Amsterdam in 1662 and shipped to Holland, and five when he came home in March 1664. Her mother left on a ministry to Friends in Britain in 1675 and died in London in 1678.
She married John Prior of Killingworth upon Matinecock, son of Matthew Prior, in 1678 at Flushing, and lived with him at Killingworth "on land bought of Joseph Eastland ... on west side of road to Oak Neck Beach" (source, p. 290). They had eight children between 1679 and 1695 (see John Prior). As his widow she married Samuel Titus, son of Edmund and Martha (Washburn) Titus, and she died at Killingworth in February 1721/2.
Through her the Frosts descend from Robert Feake and Elizabeth Fones twice over: her daughter Hannah's son Isaac Frost married Mary Cock, whose grandfather John Feke was Elizabeth's uncle.
