Sarah Alexander's last born child, Sarah Ann Dean, was delivered by Mrs Clayton on June 1 1859 at Narragall (Narrowgall), near Wellington . Sarah was Sally Sloane's mother. When she grew up she learned to play concertina, button accordion, jews harp and piano. She also was a good singer and learned many of her mother's old Irish songs.
On December 20 1880, Sarah married Thomas Frost (known as Tom) at the Church Of England Church at Eugowra in New South Wales. At the wedding, their friend, Bruce Crocket of Dripstone, played his concertina .
Tom Frost was born in Penrith New South Wales in December 1860. He was from early convict stock, his maternal great-grandparents, Anthony Rope and Sarah Pulley (Powley) having sailed on the First Fleet. Tom's paternal grandfather had also been transported to Australia on a convict ship.
Like his father, Tom Frost drove coaches for Cobb and Co.
