The Carroll County Genealogical Society (Carroll Co., MD) has donated two Prentice Bibles to PrenticeNet. We greatly appreciate this gift .. thanks!
** Scanned image to be posted shortly. **
1. The New Testament, printed in London in 1783. Written records that go back to 1749. It also has some incredible woodcuts depicting bible stories. It would appear that this bible was owned by Capt. Henry Prentiss (Binney #54), son of Joshua (#21) and Mary. It has birth and death dates (and other notes) for Henry, Ruth, Elizabeth, and Susan (Sukey). Based on a burn on the cover it looks like it went through a fire.
Written on the back of the cover page is the following:
1. Susan, is written above Sukey
** Additional scanned images to be posted shortly. **
2. Holy Bible, Old and New Testaments, printed in Philadelphia in 1860. Includes many pages of hand-written records. It looks like it was given to Henrietta Driggs by her grandmother (Reed). Henrietta Driggs was married to Andrew Morgan Prentiss (#280), son of Henry James (#203) and Sarah Prentiss. Henry was the son of Henry (#103) and Mary Prentiss. There are records that go back to Henry and Mary (aparently pages from other bibles). Henry was the son of Joshua (#52) and Grace. Joshua was the son of Joshua (#21), mentioned above. Joshua was the son of Henry (#9), who was the son of Solomon (#3), who was the son of Henry (#1).
