MessageMy grandmother, Olga Mifflin Frothingham, married Robert Paul Eckert, Jr. My grandmother moved from Boston to live in the hometown of my grandfather, Freeport, Illinois. There, they raised three children: Robert Paul Eckert, III, Olga Elisabeth Eckert (my mother), and Richard Frothingham Eckert (his surviving spouse is Nancy Knight of Massachusetts).

My mother's cousins included Eugenia (Genie) Frothingham Lombard, Ellen Frothingham Dunnell Bennett (daughter of Ellen Frothingham and William Wanton Dunnell, Jr.), and Langdon.

My mother married George Francis Ogilvie, Jr. (deceased). My mother has four children: Deborah Elisabeth Ogilvie, Karen Ann Ogilvie (me), George Francis Ogilvie, III, and Todd Byron Alexander.

I have three nephews: George Ian Ogilvie, Evan Ogilvie, and Jack Cook Alexander. By way of summarizing the connection, they are the great-grandchildren of Olga Mifflin Frothingham.

I have information about other descendants of Nathaniel Langdon Frothingham (23 July 1793 – 3 April 1870) and his wife, Ann Gorham Brooks (19 June 1797 – 5 July 1864) if anyone is interested as to the extended family's whereabouts, spouses, children, and so forth.

MessageI just recently came across this site, and am so very disappointed not to have accessed it sooner, specifically with regard to Kim Goggin's invitation to Harold Clarence Ernst and Ellen Lunt Frothingham's descendants to attend the dedication of a garden in their memory. Ellen was my great-grandfather's (Langdon Frothingham) sister, and my great-grandmother's (Olga Frothingham) first cousin.

I know members of my family would have loved the opportunity to attend the presentation of the history of Ellen and Harold Ernst's summer estate, as most of their nieces and nephews, my grandmother included, took their children and grandchildren (including me) to their summer home on the Cape.

Ellen Lunt Frothingham's brother and first cousin, Langdon and Olga Frothingham, respectively, had four daughters: my grandmother, Olga Mifflin Frothingham, and my three great-aunts: Ellen Frothingham, Eugenia Frothingham Lombard, and Ann B. Frothingham (spouse: William G. Wait).

MessageThank you all for the many messages in my guest book lately. I've been away from genealogy a bit, but hope to get back to it and update the website soon. I like this guest book software, but it has it's limits. Those of you (Kathleen!!) who are hoping to get others to e-mail you, it won't happen unless you leave your e-mail in the message. The software keeps them private and I won't give them out without permission. I would like to change to a bulletin board type guest book, but the logistics are beyond me. I'll need my son's help on that. Meanwhile, don't worry about 'clogging" my guest book. Post away! I enjoy all the messages, and hope to get a chance to answer everyone soon.

MessageI apologize Arlene for clogging up your guestbook. If I could add yo my recent "signing" I certainly would. I wanted to leave my email address for anyone interested in the Frothingham Line. I'm very interested in the publication Richard Frothingham spoke of that was written in 1902 but remained unpublished until the 1970's. Thanks to everyone!

MessageGreetings,
My mother's 1st cousin on her father's side has Frothinghams in her tree. Ann Spurling Jackson married a second time to John Luther Frothingham b1810 and married 1840. My cousin is directly decended from Ann's first husband, but Ann had 4 sons with John L Frothingham.

John was born in Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts. Do you how he might relate to your family? I do not have anything for his parents.

I am helping Marilyn work on her tree and have been contacted by a Barney Frothingham who is 80 and a grandson of John Luther.
