Charles was person who took advantage of opportunities.
Upon his father’s death, Charles presented a document he said was his father’s last will and testament. But the court found it invalid and ordered a distribution of the estate.
He also aided Capt Richard Waldron to trick the Indians and then, together with the captains and their companies, to surround and capture them. This event had the effect of prolonging King Philip's War, in the north-eastern theatre of New Hampshire and Maine, until 1678. The Dover Massacre was part of their revenge.
——
He was a soldier at 16 and rose to the rank of Major, and commanded all the troops in the Province of Maine. His commission was dated Aug. 23, 1689, and was signed by President Thos. Danforth. (See "Old Eliot," Vol. 2, Page 137.) Major Chas. Frost was a Representative to the General Court, 1658-1663, 1672 1674 and 1678-1693; Town Clerk, 1669-1670; Selectman, 1667-1670; Councillor to Pres. Danforth 1680-1685, and a Justice of Peace at the same time. He was a Councillor from 1693, until his death in 1697.
Williamson in his "History of Maine" said, "Charles Frost was one of the most eminent and public spirited men of his age within the Province of Maine. His death was deeply lamented as it occurred in the height of his usefulness and fame, and at a time when his services were greatly needed."
——
[24 March 1646/7] Charles Frost saith that he being about his father's door looking into the marsh saw three geese light in the marsh, as he though, by a little puddle of water, and he taking a piece ran down into the marsh to get a shot at them and he coming there crept along on his belly. Warwick Heard seeing the same three geese light, and being crept into the brush & long grass before him, he not knwoing him to be there, and it being after sunset, Warwicke Heard being upon his knees ready to give fire, and the wind blowing the skirts of his jacket abroad, Charles Frost lifting up his head as he was creeping thought it to be a goose picking herself, presently gave fire and so shot him.
The coroner's inquest did not think Frost guilty, but a grand jury indicted him for murder, and a petit jury found him not guilty [MPCR 1:108-9].
