name: Hannah Prior
aka: [Hannah Pryer, Hannah Frost]
sex: female
access: public
summary: Wife of William Frost (1674) and probably the mother of Isaac Frost (1717). She was probably the daughter of John Prior of Matinecock and Elizabeth Bowne, and so a granddaughter of John Bowne of Flushing, who was arrested by Peter Stuyvesant in 1662 for allowing Quaker meetings in his house, was banished, and appealed to the Dutch West India Company, whose reply of 1663 directed that consciences be left free.

Wife of William Frost (1674). She was the daughter of John Prior and Elizabeth Bowne of Killingworth on Matinecock, and so a granddaughter of Matthew Prior and of John Bowne of Flushing, who was arrested by Peter Stuyvesant in 1662 for allowing Quaker meetings in his house, banished, and appealed to the Dutch West India Company, whose reply of 1663 directed that consciences be left free; the papers are printed in the Frost Genealogy, pp. 353-355 (source). Through her mother she descended from Lieut. Robert Feake and Elizabeth Fones, the widow of Henry Winthrop. Her father died when she was sixteen, and her mother married Samuel Titus.

She married William Frost about 1700, and their son Isaac married Mary Cock, the granddaughter of Hannah's aunt Elizabeth (Prior) Feke: Isaac and Mary were second cousins through Matthew Prior, and second cousins once removed through Robert Feake and Elizabeth Fones.
