"Also Frogg". Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish Settlement in Virginia; Volume I;AUGUSTA COUNTY COURT RECORDS.; ORDER BOOK No. XIV: AUGUST 22, 1772. (432) John Frogg to be paid for repairing the jail and building the ducking stool.
AUGUST 19, 1768 (348) Witnesses: John Frogg,
Maj. John Frogg was born in Prince William Co. and was sheriff in the same in 1757. They moved to the valley of VA and resided near her sisters and brothers-in-law. His will was recorded 19 Aug 1794 in Bath Co., VA.
"Some believe John is the grandson of Alxander William Frogge who was born in Edinborro Scotland, about 1652. Alexander had several children in the 1670 & 80's one of which was named John.(DT Froedge, of Kentucky) a great number of parish records
have been searched in the Midlothan area of Scotland at the Scotish Records Office, to(DT Froedge, of Kentucky) no avail, and the Geneology Library in London which had lots on school graduations in England and Scotland in that era, also to no
avail. There is a cite from a listing of the Register of the Overwarton Parish that John's birth was around 1709, which conflicts with other cites of 1717." (DT Froedge, of Kentucky) Others, have thought and believe, that John Frogge was the son
of Jonathan William Froke and Mary Elizabeth Epperton of Maryland.( I have no proof for either conclusion, Stan Hodges )
Perhaps brother of Arthur Frogg, dec ca Jan 1771.
