| Message | My grandmother, Margaret Francis Reichner, was the daughter of Louisa Brown Frothingham (b. 1864), in turn the daughter of William Walter Frothingham (b. at Johnstown, NY, one of 9 children; died Washington Heights 1885), a descendant of William and Anna. Family lore says William and Anna first arrived in America in the Summer of 1630, landing at Beverly, Mass, and travelling from there to Salem and, finding the conditions wretched there, then went to Charleston. Also, there is a suggestion that the family came from Hungary with Margaret, King Malcom Canmore's Queen. |
