Introduction: This article is includes information originally contained in our Fall 2004 article about Robert B. Prentice of Summit Co., IL.
1. James Prentice was b. Nov 1849 in Scotland, as were both of his parents. He appears in the 1880 census in Montgomery, Montgomery Co., AL, with his wife and family.
He m. Elizabeth, b. Jul 1848, Scotland, as were both of her parents. They had 1 or more children, including:
- Robert Prentice, b. Oct 1880, IL. . . . . . . . . . . [2]
2. Robert Prentice, b. Oct 1880, IL. Although there is a small difference in his birth year, he is tentatively inferred to be the same person as the Robert B. Prentice who appears in 1910 census in Coventry, Summit Co., OH, as b. c. 1881-82, IL, son of James S. Prentice, b. c. 1851, "Scot English" and his wife, Elizabeth, b. c. 1850, "Scot English." as were both of their parents.
Also shown in that 1910 census was James S. Prentice, b. c. 1907, OH, and called a grandson of Robert and Elizabeth.
Robert is also inferred to be the same Robert B. Prentice who appears in the 1920 census in Barberton Ward 2, Summit Co., OH (but not in the 1930 census at all) as b. c. 1885 in IL (with both parents born in Scotland), with his wife, Viola, b. c. 1893, MO, and children:
- Charlotte O. Prentice, b. c. 1917, OH.
- Jean E. Prentice, b. c. 1918, OH.
A check of the SSDI was inconclusive because the name is common, but no person of that name obtained his SS# in OH or died in OH.
