There was also a Nathaniel Frost active at the same time, but he did not appear in the Boston Directories. Nancy Goyne Evans, in her book, Windsor Chair Making in America: From Craft Shop to Consumer (2006), first proposed that Frost was incorrectly identified as James. In a footnote to validate her point, she cites David Tilden, Esq., vs. William Seaver and Nathaniel Frost, May 1804, Inferior Court of Common Pleas, Suffolk County, Boston, Mass. As of 2017, this document is not available digitally."},{"label":"Subjects (AAT)","value":["Windsor chairs"]},{"label":"Subjects","value":["Windsor chairs"]},{"label":"History of Ownership","value":"Previously in the collection of Old Gaol Museum (Now The Old York Gaol, Museums of Old York), as of 1969."},{"label":"Associated Objects","value":"DAPC number 1969-1229 was erroneously assigned to this piece."},{"label":"Description","value":"Windsor-style bentwood-back armchair with baluster and bamboo turnings.
