Mrs. Rachel Frost, b VT abt 1811

I am looking for Rachel's maiden name and the given name of her husband, b VT, who died before the 1850 census.

By 1850, Rachel was living in Rushford, Allegany Co, NY with these children: Jerry aka Jay aka Jeremiah Frost, b VT abt 1833; Jesse Frost, b VT abt 1834; Amon Frost, b VT abt 1836; Emaline Frost, b NY abt 1838; Melvina Frost, b NY abt 1843; and Hiram Frost, b NY abt 1848.

At the same time, a William S. Foot, 36, and his wife Anna, 38, were living in Ashtabula, OH with their two daughters, Adeline and Ida.

In the 1860 census, Rachel and son Hiram were living with William S. Foot, now a widower, and his two daughters, in Springfield, Erie Co, PA. I tend to think William was either Rachel's brother or brother-in-law.

In the 1870 census, Rachel and Hiram were still living with William, who had not remarried, in Elmore, Carroll Twp, Ottawa Co, Ohio. This is the last I find William.

By the 1880 census, Hiram had married Marie Cover and his mother was living with them and their family in Oak Harbor, Ottawa Co, Ohio. This is the last I find Rachel.

Jeremiah had married Sarah J. Ferguson and lived near his mother throughout the above censuses.

Melvina had married Albert Ferguson.

I would appreciate any additional information readers can provide about the individuals in Rachel's family and about William and his wife Anna.

Thank you.
