"I do not know how long they lived in New York , but they moved to Pennsylvania, and Father engaged in the milling business.  He was of Irish descent, and the children were all born in Chester County, Pennsylvania, and lived there many years."

"Now to go back to my childhood, my father left the milling business and opened a public house in Downingtown, Pennsylvania, on the Turnpike about 50 miles from Philadelphia.  He also kept the Post Office.  In the early days people traveled by stages, and their stopping place was at our house for dinner.  This was Downingtown.  We children were born there.  I remember well that they kept black help, and Father owned a boy named Black Bill.  The people were mostly Quakers.  My father was raised a Quaker, Mother Presbyterian.  I wish I could remember dates.  When I was 5 years old [about 1822] my parents moved to Maryland, Baltimore City, and kept a tavern, it was called then, and they have a sign called Golden Horse.  It was in the upper part of the city near Washington Monument.  We only stayed there two years and moved four miles out on the Turnpike road.  That seemed like the country, and we children enjoyed [it] and our folks kept a tavern or more of a boarding house for city people to comer for the summer.  Father was fond of flowers  and had a lovely zinnia garden.  Our neighbors owned slaves."

"After Father decided to move to Ohio the only way there was to come [was] by land.  He had a pair of big horses and fitted up a wagon to accommodate the family and bring bedstead and a few household things.  [We] had extra horses , but we children walked until we were tired.  We crossed the Allegheny Mountains."

"The 'Recollections' of his daughter Mary Marsh (Frame) Meacham give us an interesting account of some of the experiences of the family (p 203.)  We learn that William and his wife began life together in New York City where William was engaged in the grocery business.  He did not remain there long, for in 1805 he was in Downington, Pa., proprietor of an Inn.  He also became the postmaster, the post office being located in the Inn.  According to his daughter all but the first of his ten children were born in Downington, Pa.  Sometime in 1823 or 1824, William Frame removed with his family to Baltimore, Md., and there became proprietor of another Inn, known as the "Golden Horse Tavern".  Another daughter, Eliza, by name, often told her grandchildren that Lafayette was there in 1824, also that she was invited to his 'Birthrite Ball' which was held on a boat in Baltimore harbor. She was 18 at the time."

"Two years later William moved to another Inn which was four miles from Baltimore and on the Post Road.  This location being in the country, attracted many of the Baltimoreans, who made extended stays at the Inn in order to escape the heat of the city."

"Still another move took the family to Ohio, where William's elder brother Benjamin Frame had settled, and there William and his wife spent the remainder of their lives."

Regarding Rebecca's parents:

"The will of Rolph Marsh of the Township of Rahway, Essex Co., N.J. is dated 22 Sept, 1804.  In it he mentions his wife Jannet.  To his daughter Rebecca Marsh Frame, wife of William Frame he leaves $500.00 'to be levied out of my estate and paid to her in one year after my decease, provide always and upon condition my said daughter Rebecca or her lawful representative makes or brings any charge against my estate or any account whatsoever.'  The executors were his sons Lewis R. and Sidney March.  The other children were not mentioned by name (Trenton, N.J. Court House)."

They are buried in the Riverside Cemetery in Poland, OH and share a monument with their daughter Ruthanna and her husband Billius Kirtland.   The Frame name prominently appears on one side of the monument and Kirtland on the other (not shown here).  There's a Geo. B. Marsh inscribed along William and Rebecca Frame who I assume was a brother of Rebecca's but I've not confirmed this.

The Mays inscriptions on the right are grand children of Billius and Ruthanna Frame-Kirtland who died young.
