Supporting information: Elizabeth Frost was married to John Watson before she married John Gray. Baptism records for her three children with John Watson were found in Nottingham, England, but no marriage record was found for her with either husband. There isn't a death record for her husband John Watson in England but there is one for William Frost's wife, Joyce Barker, who died in 1634 in Nottingham. Also no marriage record was found for Lydia Frost with Henry Gray. A marriage record for William Frost's daughter Mary exists. She was married in 1636 in Radford, Nottingham, England. There are baptism records in Nottingham for two of Mary's children. The presence of death and marriage records for other Frosts around the time John and Henry would have married the Frost daughters tends to support them being married in America. Also, it seems likely that John Watson died in America.
