As he neared death, Charles Frost (1678 – 1724) ensured that his last will and testament was up to date and directed the disposal of all his properties in Kittery and Berwick. This property included his four slaves, named Hector, Prince, Pompey, and Cesar. The will transferred ownership of these slaves to his sons, some only after the death of Frost’s wife.
