George Frost
Quaker farmer who probably married Sarah Underhill by Friends' ceremony at the Creek Meeting House in Dutchess County, New York, in December 1781, in the middle of the war. He moved from Chappaqua to the Creek Monthly Meeting in 1788 and to the Coeymans Monthly Meeting in 1805, and lived out his life near Rensselaerville. Probably the father of George Frost (born 1791), who went to Wisconsin.

Notes
A Quaker farmer. Married at the Creek Meeting House in December 1781, in the middle of the war; removed from Chappaqua to Creek in 1788 and to the Coeymans Monthly Meeting in 1805; lived his life out near Rensselaerville. Eleven children, 1783-1804, among them George (1791), who went to Wisconsin (source).
The Revolutionary service and the 1818 pension the online trees give him are not his: a Quaker who married by Friends’ ceremony in 1781 and went on receiving Friends’ certificates would have been disowned for bearing arms. The pensioner was probably George P. Frost of Ulster County, a New Hampshire Continental soldier.
