Re Frederick Prentice [1822-1913] & his daughter Mary Edla Prentice [1844-1943], later Mrs Robert Nicol of New York, originally from Toledo,Ohio. I'm the great-great-nephew (by marriage) of Mary (Mollie) Prentice, who married Robert Nicol [1831-1879] in New York 1871. Briefly, Frederick (son of Joseph Prentice, an 'Ohio Pioneer') was an early oil millionaire, owned brownstone quarries, and had numerous business interests in various US states. Robert Nicol, a 'capable Scot', made his fortune in NY. The marriage was childless and Mollie, a 'grande dame' latterly of Park Avenue NY, used her long widowhood to support charitable causes in NY. Her name appears frequently in the NYT social pages 1890 to 1942. I have some family papers which mention the Prentice connection, but would like to know of any published obituaries for either Frederick or Mary and details of their respective estates. Both buried in Willow Cemetery, Lucas County, Ohio. Andrew Rose

Looking for any info onJane, wife of James Prentice b. 1812 Lanarkshire Scotland father John Prentice, grandfather James Prentice. James left Scotland we think with wife Jane for US about 1834-1838.

I am looking for information on the parents of Erastus Printiss who died in Pittsfield Mass in Oct 1834. His wife was Elizabeth Luce Printiss and together they had 6 children: We believe that Erastus lived in LaFayette New York (below Syracuse)before he moved to Pittsfield where he raised a family. The children are: 1.- Horace b1825/m Eliza Ann Wilber Printiss(DAR)b1833 2.- Charles b1827/m Mary Curtiss b1831 3.- George E b1829/died at 8 years 4.- Henry b1832 /m Mary Lowell b1840 5.- Francis b1834/died at 14 years 6.- George b1837/died at birth It is thought that Joseph Prentice might have been Erastus's father: Joseph was born 1770/74 and died 1851. Joseph lived in Worthington,with two sons in 1790. It is considered that Erastus aged (teens)had left home and moved to LaFayette NY. Any information about this line would be greatly appreciated...

I am looking to find any information on William Prentice of Glengarry Co, Ontario abt.1807(m.Sarah Ann Clute of Seymour Twp, Ontario).His death record in 1899, Simcoe Co,Ontario states he's 91 and born in Glengarry County, Ontario. He is my G-G-Grandfather. Records from St Rapheal's Catholic church in Williamstown, Ontario shows a William born to Lewis and Catherine McDonell in 1817. This date is too late when compared to his death registry. Also William was Church of England. Records of St Andrew's Presb, Williamstown, show a William born 1792, but he was the son of Daniel and Mary (Hamilton) Prentice, and was killed in the War of 1812. No records show he was married. Daniel Prentice, his father, made a land claim for his son's land entitlement. Has anyone come across another William Prentice, born abt, 1807, Glengarry, County. Any help or direction would be appreciated.

I am looking for info regarding Amos Prentice b. 4 Sep 1804 in Batavia, New York to John Owen Prentice and Rachel Swain; and d. 17 Aug 1849. He married first, Louisana Jenkins in Montgomery, IL 8 Jan 1829. Then married wife #2 Hope Henderson in Greene, IL 12 Oct 1831. The main info I need pertains to his life and times story and his first wifes genealogy. They were only married 2 years or less which leads me to believe that she died either in child birth or from illness. I have not been able to confirm whether or not any children were born from this marriage. If anyone has any info or clues, please feel free to e-mail me: paintediva@yahoo.com. Thank you!

I am looking for any information on my PRENTICE line. This line was supposed to have been started by one GOODE PRENTICE who came to Cambridge, Massachusetts sometime before 1793. My G-G-Grandfather was born in Massachusetts o/a 1793-1797. He had the very unusual masculine forname of ELA. I don't have a correct pronounciation of the name, but since my grandfather was also named ELA, but refused to use the name, I suspect that it was probably pronounced like the feminine ELLA. ELA was probably the son, or grandson of the first Prentice. GOODE PRENTICE. I am trying to find out where GOODE came from, and who he married. I have my genealogy fairly well documented, up to the 1831 marriage of ELA to SUSAN DAVIS. So far I have not been able to find out where, exactly, was ELA born, and who were his parents Anyone who has any information on GOODE or ELA PRENTICE, please contact me. kadonna@networld.com Thank You
