Updated 24 Aug 2011: This line is now included within our Summer 2006 article entitled Prentices of Halton, Buckingham, England . That article now replaces this article.
1. Will W. Prentice, b. c. 1850, appears in the 1920 Giles Co., TN census with his wife and family.
He m. Marey/Mary, b. c. 1886, TN. They had 1 or more children, including:
- Willie/William Prentice, b. c. 1913, TN. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [2]
2. Willie/William Prentice, b. c. 1913, TN.
He m. Alice Barnett and had children:
- William Thomas Prentice Jr., b. c. 1949, Pulaski, Giles Co., TN. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .[3]
- John Prentice of TN.
- Geneva Prentice. She m. Mr. Colvett of TN.
3. William Thomas Prentice Jr., b. c. 1949, Pulaski, Giles Co., TN and d. 23 Oct 2000 at Allen Bennett Hospital. At the time of his death he was a widower, living at 3826 Jordan Road, Pulaski.
He m. Helen Lucille Johnson who d. before 2000. He was employed by the Tex-Tube Mfg. Co. and was a member of the East North Street Baptist Church. William was bur. in the Holly Springs Baptist Church Cemetery. Son:
- James T. Prentice of Pulaski, Giles Go., TN.
William's obituary also mentions a grandson, Sam/Samuel Prentice of Pulaski.
It is unclear whether he is the William Wesley Prentice who m., 2nd Martha Jane Seagraves on 8 May 1884. (See #46 in our Summer 2006 article entitled Prentices of Halton, Buckingham, England ) She was b. 4 Nov 1844, TN, and d. 19 Sep 1916, Giles Co., and is bur in Roper Cemetery, Giles Co., TN.
The only way he could be the same William Wesley Prentice would be if William and Martha were divorced prior to 1913 (the year of Willie/Wiliam's 1913 birth), or if he married bigamously.
