The Frost family genealogy, compiled in the early 1900s, traces their American roots to Edmund Frost, who arrived in 1635. Edmund Frost established a family lineage in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Subsequent generations included notable figures in Franklin, New Hampshire, like Cooper Frost, a soldier and hatter, and his descendants, such as Luther Trumbull Frost, a successful paper manufacturer. The family played a credible roll in the establishment and management of paper mills in New Hampshire and New York.
