Documents Great Migration Edmund Frost (1609-1672) Great Migration: Edmund Frost (1609-1672)
Edmund and Thomasine (Clench) Frost were married in Earls Colne, Essex, England on April 16, 1634. It is believed that they migrated in 1635 to Cambridge, attempting a crossing in the Great Hope which only made it to Yarmouth, England and then completing the trip on the Defence, landing in Boston on October 2, 1635. They lived in Cambridge where he became a freeman in 1636 and was one of the original members of the First Congregational Church of Cambridge , being installed as Elder in February of that year, and then Deacon.Edmund's original lands were on the West side of Dunster St. between Harvard Square and Mt. Auburn St. He sold them and bought a house on the west side of Garden St, which he sold in 1646. He became one of the first members of the governing body of Harvard, which was established in 1636. His will was signed with his written signature and named his 9 children with Thomasine, all but the first born in Cambridge.Thomasine had previously been identified as a Gateway ancestor, believed to have been the Thomasine Clench baptized Bottisham, Cambridgeshire, 6 October 1608, the daughter of Robert Clench and Joan Webbe. However, a subsequent, 2021 article refutes this, based largely on her likely age at marriage, and makes a case for Thomasine being baptized in Colchester on August 1, 1613, daughter of John Clench and Mary (Marshall) Clench. This is still being researched.We are descended through the Wright (Tucker) side.

Albums Religious Connections (1) Great Migration (119)
The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.
You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
