Called "young John" in father's will
JOHN FROST of Glemsford and Hartest, Suffolk, England, was born about 1530-1535. He was a clothier as we can infer from his will. On 29 January 1558/9 at Glemsford, he married Ann Scott. She was the daughter of Richard Scott of Glemsford, also a clothier. Sometime after the birth of their last child, they moved to Hartest, the next village. There, on 30 July 1588, Anne, wife of John Frost, was buried. John Frost remarried, for when he died, he left a widow named Ellen. He died and was buried at Hartest 6 February 1609/10. His will, apparently a nuncupative one, was dated the same day he was buried, so we can assume he also died that day. An abstract of his will follows.

WILLIAM FROST of Glemsford, county Suffolk, England, was probably born about 1495-1500. His wife was named Philippa. William died in the summer of 1549, testate. After his death, his widow remarried on 15 September 1552 at Glemsford, John Webb of Lidgate, which is about eight miles from Glemsford. He was a widower, his wife Rose having been buried at Lidgate on 11 February 1551/2. John and Philippa (___) (Frost) Webb had a daughter, Anna, baptized in 1553, so it is apparent that Philippa was probably horn after 1508. Philippa was buried at Lidgate on 20 January 1577/8 and John Webb on 25 July 1558.

17 Dec 1946 [in Mormon Church] ; per Patsy Burns (b 1945).
ANCESTRY FACTS: a number of researchers show his father as Edward with no proof. My theory is that James who died in Lavenham was his father. I have stablished that there is a village of Shropham in Norfolk which is mentioned in James will of 1618. I am informed that this place has a parish church but unfortunately the early records were lost so they start in the 1720's. However, the church is l3th- l4th century vintage according to the locals living there; per Ernest Frederick Fuller (b 1930).
These 5 sons lived to the following ages: John 75, Jonathan 74, Joseph 88, Joshua 98, and Jeremiah 83. They (John Fuller & Edward Jackson) divided their lands among their children, in their lifetime, confirming the division by their wills, & have a far greater number of descendants than any of the earlier settlers of the town. It was said by the late Henry H. Fuller, Esquire, of Boston, that our John Fuller was a son of Dr. Samuel Fuller, of Plymouth, who came in the Mayflower; but that statement is erroneous. Dr. Samuel died 1633, leaving an only son Samuel-no other son is named in the will, or in the division of cattle in 1627. This only son Samuel, was Minister of Middleboro and died there 1695, age 71. Edward Fuller, also a Mayflower man, died 1621, leaving an only son Samuel, who settled on the cape: History of the early settlement of Newton, county of Middlesex, MA. from 1639 to 1800 with a Geneological Register of it's Inhabitants prior to 1800 by Francis Jackson of Boston, a Native of Newton, 1854.

John is believed to have built thefirst house in Newtonville. He settled in 1644 and became one of the largest landowners in the town. Part of his land now is in what is Waltham.

Another John, of Ipswich came to America in 1635 on the ship Abigail with his brother William. JOHN OF NEWTON DID NOT. The two are often confused. John of Ipswich Married Elizabeth Emerson, p. 175. John Fuller of Cambridge, one of the first settlers of Cambridge Village, was born in England in 1611, came to America about 1635, and settled in Cambridge Village-now called Newton-about 1644. Newton was established as a town in 1691, and in 1873 was incorporated as a city. In Dec 1658, John Fuller bought 750 acres of land for about $1.00 per acre, the tract being bounded on the north & west by Charles River. Later he increased his holdings to upwards of 1,000 acres, and became one of the 2 largest land owners in the village. His tract was long known as the "Fuller Farm." He divided his land among his children in his lifetime, confirming the division by his will, with the proviso that they should not sell to any stranger, until they, or their next relation, should have the offer of it,; Genealogy of some descendants of Capt.

FULLERS OF NEW ENGLAND
In the Mayflower came Edward Fuller and Dr. Samuel Fuller. Edward died in the great mortality, 1621, leaving only son Samuel, who settled on the cape. Dr. Samuel Fuller died in 1633, leaving an only son Samuel, who became minister of Middleboro, and died there in 1695, age 71. John Fuller, supposed to have come with J. Winthrop Jr. in the Abigail, Hackwell Master, in 1635, was born in England in 1620. (in the Abigail, Hackwell Master, May 41635, came Wm. Fuller 25: Jo. Fuller 15 - James Savages Notes in Historical Collections). (PREVIOUS IS JOHN OF LYNN-FOLLOWING IS JOHN OF CAMBRIDGE/NEWTON BORN 1611) He settled in Cambridge Village in 1644. In Dec. 1685, he purchased of Joseph Cooke, of Cambridge, 750 acres of land in the N.W. part of Newton, for 160 pounds sterling. It was bounded north & west by Charles river, east by land of Thomas Park, and south by S. Shepards farm. His house stood on the south side of the road, and west side of the brook, within a few rods of both. By subsequent purchases he increased his track to upwards of 1000 acres. Edward Jackson & John Fuller were the largest land-holders in the town. Cheese-Cake brook ran through this track, which was long known as "The Fuller Farm." He divided it among his five sons by will (son Issac having died in 1691), with the proviso that they should not sell to any stranger, until they, or their next relative should have the offer of it. Twenty-Two of John Fullers descendants were in the army of the revolution, from Newton (Jacksons History of Newton) . The following document, apparently in John Fullers handwriting, is in the possession of a descendant: "Wee whose names are subscribed are able to give this theire testimony that when the land was sould to Ensign John Spring liveing in New Towne in the county of Middelsexe in NWE England that there was reserved a high waye, through this land for the use of the inhabitane of the saide town to pass in namely the highway for_________in the place were it was then occupied and if the said John Spring did fence in the said land he should hang gates. And this is so to be undrestood of ye land which ye above said John Spring now lives upon.
