  • Notes 
    • In Evelyn's FFN Vol. 2 No. 1 p1 we find, "Eugene Martin Livermore of Shrewsbury, PA, is the son of Robert T. Livermore of Hounsfield, Jefferson Co, N.Y., son of George Frederick Livermore also of Hounsfield, son of Frederick Mortimer Livermore, also of Hounsfield who was the husband of MARY ANN FROST daughter of Orr Frost (one of several children we never knew he had).
    • In Evelyn's FFN Vol 6 No. 4 p 3 There is an article about Genevieve Smith Frost, widow of John Albert (Albert E., John L., Orra, Abial, Thomas Frost)

      And then in FFN Vol. 7 No. 2 p2 (June 1995) there is an article on their children. He is referred to throughout the article as "Orra."

      It would appear that Evelyn's researches convinced her "Orra" is correct.

      Now Orra had 12 children and I would have to dig deeper to learn whether some of the children were by second wife Polly Preston.
