Do You Know Juba? Zuba, Tuba, or Inba?
By Linus Joseph Dewald Jr., Editor
Spring 1997 and Revised 9 Oct 2008
Update on Zuba Prentice: Zuba Prentice is a descendant of Henry Prentice and is No. 29.40.
We've been trying to help Marion Emmons of Columbia, CT identify the ancestry of her ZUBA PRENTICE, father of her HENRY F. PRENTICE who was born about 1842. By letter of 29 Oct 1996, she advises that HENRY settled in St. Regis Falls, Franklin Co., NY as reflected in their family burial there at the Forest Cemetery.
His death record calls him JUBA. He's likely (1) the same person as TUBA PRENTICE shown in the 1840 census index for Westville, Franklin Co., NY and (2) the INBA PRENTICE shown in the census index for Brandon, now a part of Dickinson Center.
In checking the 1840 and 1850 Franklin County census, we find the following persons who may be related to ZUBA.
Amos Prentiss
He is shown living in Dickinson. The present town of Dickinson is about 4
miles north of St. Regis Falls. He might be the AMOS who appears in
Binney96 on pg. 460, #4, born roughly 1795-1810.
Because of ages proximity, AMOS cannot be ZUBA'S father but he might be a brother. AMOS' sister, HARRIET (pg. 460, #3), lived in nearby Brush's Mills in Franklin County as well as a sister, EMILY (pg. 460, #6) who lived in nearby Dickinson.
Elijah Prentiss
Like ZUBA in 1850, ELIJAH lived in Brandon in 1840. Born in 1776, he
could be ZUBA'S father.
Orlando Prentiss
He appears in the 1820, 1830 and 1840 census at Bangor, about 16 miles NE
of St. Regis Falls. It is a little more conjectural whether he is closely
related to ZUBA. (See Binney96, pg. 472) ORLANDO PRENTISS may be the same
person as the ORLANDO PRENTISS in Binney96, pg. 56, #57xi, b. 25 May 1797.
Because of age proximity, ORLANDO cannot be ZUBA'S father, but might be a brother.
