Kalbian's 1992 survey names Frogtown among the Clarke County hamlets that earlier surveys had recorded, with Stringtown, Rattlesnake Spring, Webbtown, Stone Bridge, Bethel and Waterloo.
What the source supports
That Frogtown was a recognized hamlet in the county's architectural surveys by 1992.
Uncertainty
A one-line mention in a 1992 survey report. It says the hamlet was surveyed before, and gives nothing of its history, extent or people. The earlier survey was not read.
Source
Evidence role: supports. The survey's sentence on previously surveyed hamlets.

Kalbian's 1992 survey records the Frogtown Store, 21-944, as one of three commercial resources it identified for the period from 1914 to 1991, and says that only the Frogtown Store still functioned as a rural country store.

Kalbian's 1992 survey records the Frogtown Store, 21-944, as one of three commercial resources it identified for the period from 1914 to 1991, and says that only the Frogtown Store still functioned as a rural country store.
What the source supports
That a country store named for Frogtown was still trading as a rural store when the survey was made.
Uncertainty
The survey does not describe the store's building, date or owners, and does not say in terms that it stands in Frogtown; that is read from its name. Nothing is claimed about the store after 1992.

Kalbian's 1992 survey lists a "House in Frogtown", 21-400, in its table of schools from past rural surveys.

Kalbian's 1992 survey lists a "House in Frogtown", 21-400, in its table of schools from past rural surveys.
What the source supports
That an earlier rural survey recorded a house in Frogtown that the 1992 report lists among past school sites.
Uncertainty
A table row gives a name and a number only. The survey does not say when, or whether, the house served as a school; its place in the schools table is the only indication.
Source
Evidence role: supports. The House in Frogtown row of the survey's schools table.
