• I've been helping Pat Shipman in tracing the ancestry of Adam Prentice in the Dutch East Indies. Following is her latest E-mail: "I am making a little progress on tracking down my Prentice in the Dutch East Indies; maybe you could post an update for me. If you remember, I was looking for information about Adam Prentice, born ca. 1857, in Java in the 1890's as a planter. I now know he married Jane (de) Clonie MacLennan on Jan. 16 1890 in Pasoerean, East Java; on May 21, 1892, they had a son, Gerard (or Gerardus) Alexander Prentice-MacLennan. I still have no info about Adam's parents, which I would dearly love to find. I have a suspicion that Jane is the sister of Th. C. MacLennan (also spelled Mac. lennan, with a period in the middle!) , who was the second husband of Isabella Mary Boyd. Th. (Theo?) and Isabella married on June 12 1889 in Toeloeng Agoeng (now spelled Tulungagung) East Java. Isabella is the daughter of Robert Boyd, who I was also searching for and who is now "found. " Robert Boyd was born Feb. 2, 1828 in Batavia (Jakarta) Java; Isabella was his fifth child & second daughter. Robert himself was the son of a Robert Boyd from Aberdeenshire, Scotland, born ca. 1795, died Dec. 11, 1865, emigrated to Soerabaya, Java. Further speculations: Clonie, de Clonie, Cluny, Cloony, MacCluny etc. etc. are all variants of Scots names. There is even a Cluny Parish in Aberdeenshire. I know that the Boyds came to Java from Aberdeenshire early in the 1800s, probably when Java was under British control; it may be that the Clonie MacLennans and the Prentices did too. So if you or anyone else has a Prentice in Aberdeenshire who disappears" in the early 1800s and/ or with family names of Adam, Alexander, Gerald/ Gerard, I'd be interested! Thanks, Pat Shipman.

• Am working on a Lee family. George W. Lee married Laura Prentiss in 1857 in Grand Rapids Michigan. In the 1860 census, they had no children and a Susan Prentiss was also living with them. Both Prentiss women were born in Ohio. Laura was about 29. George Lee was in the Civil War and died about 1867 while in the regular Army. Laura filed a widows pension application. Have requested records from the national archives. Does anyone know if this couple had issue? john weis
