      Transcription of Frost/Couch genealogy ...
      Joseph 4th married Lucy Couch, daughter of Johnathan and Eunice of Reading, Connecticut. They were married
      September 19, 1781 or 2. Joseph Frost died in 1844 and his wife died April 8th 1843.__Joseph Frost was a
      soldier of the American Revolution: according to State Records of Connecticut he was a private in Col. Benjamin
      Hinman's Regiment in 1775: he was honorably discharged Sept. 11, 1775. June 16, 1777 he enlisted as private in
      Captain Elijah [Alil]'s company. Colonel Burr Bradley's Regiment. He must have served between 1775 and 1777
      as the records say he was taken prisoner at Fort Washington, November 16th, 1776, when Lord Howe captured
      the fort.__Joseph Frost and two brothers, one named Dimon, were taken prisoner and put on board an old prison
      hulk in New York Harbor.__They then endured great privations and suffering, and his two brothers died in the
      prison ship. During the war, Joseph was wounded in the leg and late in life received a pension for his services in
      the Revolution. In 1803, he and his family left Reading, Connecticut and settled in Schuyler County, New York
      State. He owned several farms in Connecticut and was in good circumstances, but removed to New York thinking
      the new country afforded better opportunities for his children
