Update of 21 Jun 2009: This article has been replaced by our Summer 2004 article entitled George A. Prentice of Chattanooga, TN
In checking the 1900 & 1910 Orchard Knob, Hamilton Co., TN Census Records Indexes, we find George A. Prentiss, age 30, born January, 1870 in SC, as was hjis mother and father. A Laundryman, he married Addie, age 28, born c. 1872 in TN. Children:
- Fred G. Prentiss, b. Nov 1892, TN.
- Vara/Vera Louise Prentiss, b. Nov 1894, TN
- Nellie Prentiss, b. c. 1905, TN.
- (unknown) Prentiss, b. c. 1909, TN.
George's father was likely born in the period 1825-45 and may be a son of William Otis Prentice of SC.
George is not listed as a child in the 1880 SC census; that suggests his family had left SC before 1880.
