Hi, I think my head is about to explode with Prentices! My GG Grandfather was John Atwater Prentice 1851, son of John A. Prentice, 1809/10 of Ashtabula, OH (you have an article on them here). I have yet to find a definitive source for John A. I believed I had found it in Peleg Prentice, 1773 (son of Nathaniel, son of Elihu, son of Joseph, son of John, son of John, son of Valentine), of New London CT, who moved to NY then to Ashtabula OH. He had a son Jonathan, 1804 who was born in NY and moved to Ashtabula. So, possibly my John A. could be a brother. Also there is a David Henry (Hendry) Prentice who married John A's wife (Ameransa Hawes) sister Alamanda. Could Jonathan, John A. and David be brothers? Could Noyes B. be a brother too? David Henry's wife, John A's wife and children, Noyes B,'s child are all buried in the Harper Cemetery in Harpersfield, OH. Or all just coincidental... Also my G grandmother Mina Prentice Bloedel was listed in the Colonial Dames registry connected to Thomas Prentice, but with auxiliary names such as George Denison (who appears in the Valentine Prentice line, via his daughter Hannah.) I have traced the Peleg line back to Valentine. My mother did mention something that she had heard as a kid about Connecticut. thank you!!!

I'm trying to find the Irish roots and parents of JAMES PRENTICE, b. 1805 Co. Fermanagh, N.Ireland, who married ELIZABETH RUTLEDGE b. 1814 Co. Fermanagh. It seems that they both had emigrated to Canada with their families and they married in Ontario. This couple are my husband's great-great-grandparents. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Amelia Ethel Prentice (b. 26/11/1879) is my G.Grandmother. I really appreciate the additional information I have found on your site for her, and have updated my records. Her record states that she married Lance Johansen (actual name Louritz) in 1915. Five of her six children were born before that date. Where would I find confirmation that the date is correct? Is it more likely that the date of marriage was 1895. Update: A check of the Marriage records at the New Zealand Department of Internal Affairs shows that the marriage date was 7th March 1897. The record on Prenticenet needs to be updated.

I'm trying to find Davidson S. Prentice, dob 1831, who lived in Hopewell, PA. He is listed on the 1850 census with his mother Elizabeth and siblings and the 1870 census has his wife and his son living at the residence of John Jacob, but I can't find anything else about him. I'm not sure if he was in the civil war or not. I checked Pennsylvania's card catalogue but he was not in it.

I am attempting to identify Amanda Prentice, mother of Clark G. Reynolds of Chittenden County, Vermont. Clark was born on Oct 23, 1838 in Vermont. He married first Emma Hurlbert of Milton, VT in 1859, who died of whooping cough in 1861. He married second Clarissa Van Wagnen (my great great grandmother). He died Jan 14, 1913 in Millington, Michigan. His death certificate lists his parents as John Reynolds and Amanda Prentice, and the record of his first marriage lists his parents as J.W. and Amanda. Based on who I believe his father may have been, Amanda possibly passed sometime between Clark's birth and 1849. In US census records, Clark lists Amanda's state of birth as either Connecticut or Massachusetts (He is inconsistent in listing the birth places for both parents). His children's names were Ida, Clark, Clayton, Harriet and Delos. Any help with identifying Amanda would be greatly appreciated.

I have Anna Mary Prentis born 29 December 1808 at Cooperstown, NY who married George Hesler and died 7 Nov 1892 at Wooster, Ohio. These dates are confirmed by Anna's obituary written by her son Charles Hesler and Charles Civil War history where it states Anna's maiden name. i believe she is the daughter of Samuel Prentiss who died 1815 in Cooperstown and Millicent Judd. Can anyone help to confirm Anna's parents? In the Prentice history, I see a reference to Anna Maria Prentiss born after 1793 and died after 1820 in Cooperstown as a possible child of Samuel Prentiss and Millicent Judd. In 1820, she referenced as a servant to Elnathan Judd, likely her uncle.

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

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.
