name: Sarah Underhill
aka: [Sarah Frost]
sex: female
access: public
summary: Wife of George Frost (1760), whom she married at the Creek Meeting House in Dutchess County, New York, in 1781, and probably the mother of George Frost (1791). The daughter of Thomas Underhill of Purchase and Nine Partners and probably of Mercy Dickinson; a descent through him from Capt. John Underhill, the soldier of the Pequot War, and Elizabeth Feake is possible only.

His descent, through Benjamin and David Underhill, from Capt. John Underhill and Elizabeth Feake is only possible: the step from Benjamin to David is the compilers' guess.

Wife of George Frost (1760), married at the Creek Meeting House in 1781. She was the daughter of Thomas Underhill of Purchase and Nine Partners and Mercy Dickinson, and a granddaughter of Benjamin Underhill and Hannah Townsend (source, 2:138).

Captain Underhill only possible. The Underhill Genealogy makes her a descendant of Capt. John Underhill, the soldier of the Pequot War, and Elizabeth Feake, through Benjamin Underhill's father David. But the book's own evidence for David as Benjamin's father is that Benjamin held land near David's son Peter and was not among "the descendants of John": "Our knowledge of names of David Underhill's children is alike, indirect and fragmentary" (2:77-78). That descent is therefore possible only. Her children descend from Robert Feake and Elizabeth Fones in any case, through the Frosts; if the Underhill line holds, she and George Frost were third cousins once removed through them.
