Name	Alice Frost
Gender	Female
Baptism	01 Dec 1594	Stanstead, Suffolk, England [1, 2, 3, 4]
Notes	In 1633, Alice Blower was involved in a dispute with the Sudbury, England Church authorities and on 18 Feb 1633/1634 she was charged with contempt of ecclesiastical laws before the Court of High Commission. She was fined 100 ponds sterling, a ruinous amount that she and her husband could probably not have paid. This must have caused a hasty move to London. On 26 June 1634, Alice Blower "having long since removed from Sudbury where the scandel offense was given, to London, whereby the scandel was taken away, she was dismissed." This episode explains how Alice's daughter came to be married to Richard Brackett in London. Alice was one of the most prominent midwives in seventeenth-century New England. In 1649, Alice Tilley was charged with some unspecified malfeasance in that occupation, and as a result many of the women of Boston, Dorchester and other communities signed petitions supporting her and asking that she be released from custody.
