A John Prentice m. an Elizabeth Jack on 13 May 1849 in Lanark, Lanark. It might be that she is the dau. of James Jack and Elizabeth Gibson who was b. 21 Aug 1827, Lanark, Lanark (per IGI).

Since one of the daughters of Marion and John Stiel (Jane) has a middle name of "Torrance", Marion Prentice is probably the daughter of John Prentice and Jean Torrence, b. 28 Nov 1831, Lesmahagow.

5. James Prentice was b. Nov 1859 in Kilsyth, Stirling, Scotland (per IGI) and d. 16 Nov 1942. He and his wife are bur. in the Junction City Cemetery, Kimble Co., TX.

James was the second son in a family of eight children who lived to adulthood. As the second son, he was not entitled to inherit the family's lands or home. He chose to pursue architecture and received his architecture degree from The University of Edinburgh. After graduation he designed several buildings standing in Edinburgh, including a large, stone Presbyterian church.

James was a first cousin of James and Rita Cooper of London and Bexhill on Sea in Sussex.

At the age of 24 in about 1883, James immigrated to The United States (Texas) after giving some consideration to immigrating to Australia. He worked on the George Brown Ranch at Cathedral Mountain near Alpine in West Texas for several years, learning the ranching business and determining that this was the career he wanted. At the age of 27, he bought land near Junction, TX, and named it The Bois d'Arc Ranch after the Bois d'Arc trees growing along the river crossing through the ranch. His obituary reads as follows:

In 1883 he came to Texas settling first at Seguin, but in 1889 he moved to Kimble County and settled on his ranch where he has lived for 53 years. He was married to Miss Maud Davey in Kerrville on October 4, 1898, and to this union two children were born, Mrs. G. A. Whiting, San Antonio, and Seaton Prentice, Junction. His widow and two children survive, and he is also survived by two grandchildren, Gus and Frances Whiting, San Antonio; one brother, Alexander Prentice, Edinburgh, Scotland, and one sister, Mrs. John Cooper, London, England.

James Prentice made a thorough study of the ranching industry and was recognized as one of Kimble County's most successful ranchmen. For several years he has not been active, leaving the management of the ranch to his son, Seaton Prentice.

When a young man Mr. Prentice united with the Presbyterian Church in Scotland. He has lived an exemplary life in his community and at all times his actions, his thoughts, and his words were clean. In his homegoing, Kimble County has lost a man of sterling character.

He m. Maude Davey, b. 9 Sep 1872 in TX and d. 6 Sep 1947. They appear in the 1900, 1910 and 1920 Kimble Co., TX census. They were a very proper and elegant couple who lived graciously on their ranch and traveled into San Antonio as needed. He dressed in his three piece navy pin stripe suit daily and read his copies of The New York Times which came by Pony Express in large leather satchels bearing his name plates. A full Scottish tea was served every afternoon.

James and Maud Prentice visited his family in England and Scotland and their families visited them in San Antonio and at the ranch. Her obituary reads as follows (per Wendy Simpson, email, 12 Dec 2005):

Funeral services for Mrs. James A. Prentice, 74, who died in San Antonio Saturday morning, were held Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o'clock from the Presbyterian Church with the Rev. Stanley Hauser of Sonora, Episcopal minister, officiating. The Hodges Funeral Home had charge of arrangements. Burial was made in the Junction cemetery.

A bride of the "gay nineties", Mrs. Prentice moved to Kimble, where she had spent part of her childhood, after her marriage in the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Davey, in Kerrville on October 4, 1898. She and her husband owned and operated extensive ranch holdings on North Llano and built up one of the first herds of registered Angora goats in the Hill Country.

Among the early residents of the county, Mrs. Prentice, who was born in Salado, in Bell County, on Sept. 9, 1872, came to Kimble in 1882 with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. B. A. Davey, and five years later moved to Kerr County. The Davey family lived on Bear Creek in a house which wa later replaced "Brambletye" and the children of school age attended the Bear Creek school.

Mrs. Prentice, nee Maude E. Davey, divided her time between the ranch, now operated by her son, Junction and San Antonio since the death of her husband almost 5 years ago. She had been in failing health for several years and was ill in San Antonio several months before her death.

Survivors include the son, Seaton, one daughter, Mrs. G. A. Witting, and one grandson, G. A. Witting, Jr., both of San Antonio, one granddaughter, Mrs. Richard Bullock, of Wenatchie, Washington; and three sisters, Mrs. Robert Knox of Uvalde, Mrs. Felix Watson and Miss Myrtle Davey.

Pall bearers were W. M. Carrico of San Antonio and Vann Martin, J. M. Livingston, Fred Mudge, Sayers Farmer, Clay Secrest, James P. Rieck, and Bill Hamer.

By email of 12 Dec 2005, Wendy Simpson advises that Maude had 3 younger syblings: Myrtle Dorcas Davey; Mabel Grace Davey; and May Davey, and that Maude's parents were Benjamin Abraham Davey ( born 1846 in ENGLAND)) and Martha Merinda Billingsley, born October 07, 1852 in Bell, Wilson Co. Texas. Mr. Davey died in 1942 and Mrs. Davey died June 24, 1924., both dying in Kerr Co. Texas.

Children of James Prentice and and Maude Davey were:

Seaton Davey Prentice, b.25 Nov 1900, Kerville, TX and d/ 3 Suma Powell, from Illinois, who had attended St. Mary's Hall in San Antonio. They were divorced because Seaton was unable to have children, perhaps the result of a childhood case of Mumps. He m. 2nd Mary Martin. on 3 Mar 1934 at Kerrville, Kerr Co., TX. She was b. 5 Feb 1907 at Junction, Kimble Co., Texas and d. 8 Jul 1989 at Junction, Kimble Co., Texas. She was the dau. of John Rowland Martin and Stella Achsah McMillan. There were no children.

Gustavus Adolphus attended The San Antonio Military Academy. His mother, a Dilworth, died when he was a small boy, so he spent much of his childhood with his brothers (Norwood and Dilworth) and his sister (Margaret) living at their grandmother's mansion in Gonzalez, TX which was essentially a Dilworth family town. The balance of his time was with his father at their city home in San Antonio or on the family's 100,000 acre cattle ranch in Mexico.

Gustavus Adolphus and May Louise eloped over family objections to their proposed marriage and lived in the large family owned King William Street house. They had two children:

Who are John Prentice's Parents?

In our Summer 2000 article about John Prentice of Hutchestown, Scotland , Allison Prentice Garder has suggested the possibility that John Prentice may be the John Prentice who was b. 25 Feb 1293 and chr. 28 Feb 1793, Lesmahagow, son of James Prentice and Marion Broun and grandson of Thomas Prentice of Lesmahagow.

For the ancestry of James Pentice and Marion Broun, see our Summer 2000 article about Thomas Prentice of Lesmahagow, Scotland .
