    Who are John R. Prentice's Parents?

    It seems probable that John is the son of George S. Prentice and his wife, Abigail who are found in the 1860 census in Burlington, Otsego Co., NY. The census listing is as follows: 

    George S Prentiss		39 	1820	New York		Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male 		
Abigal Prentiss 		38 	1821	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Female 		
Truman C Prentiss		11 	1848	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male 		
John R Prentiss 		9 	1850	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male 		
Charles M Prentiss	7 	1852	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male 		
Mary A Prentiss 		6 	1853	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Female 		
Frank Prentiss 		5 	1854	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male 		
Don Prentiss 		1 	1858	New York 	Burlington, Otsego, New York 	Male

    George S. Prentiss and his wife are the same persons as George L. Prentice, b. c. 1820-21, NY, and his wife, Abigail, b. c. 1822-23, NY, who appear in the earlier 1850 Burlington census with their son, Truman Prentice, b. c. 1848-49, NY.
