Charles Frost
From Old Kittery and Her Families (p. 169)
Major Charles Frost had long been hated by the Indians. They found their opportunity for revenge 4 July 1697. As he was returning from church at Great Works, about a mile north of his garrison house he fell into an ambush. Dennis Downing was shot with him and also Phebe, wife of John Heard. this has been taken to be Dennis Downing the blacksmith, but some think it was his son of the same name. The night after Frost's burial the Indians opened his grave, took out the body, carried it to the top of Frost's hill and suspended it on a stake. His resting place was marked some years later with a flat stone, on which is a rudely chiseled inscription, "Here lyeht intrrd ye body of Mj. Charles Frost ager 65 yers Decd July ye 4th 1697." The spot where he was slain is near a large boulder, on which is a suitable inscription. It is known as Ambush Rock.∼This is a memorial plaque - Charles is not buried here
