Andrew L. Prentiss of Canada and Buffalo, NY


Andrew L. Prentice of Canada and Buffalo, NY
By Linus Joseph Dewald Jr., Editor
Spring 2002 and Revised 21 Jun 2008

1. Andrew L. Prentiss was b. Feb 1861 in English Canada. He does not appear in the 1881 Canada census because he emigrated to the United States in 1876, neither does he appear in the 1880 U. S. census.

However, he does appear in the 1900 Buffalo, Erie Co., NY census with his wife and family. He is not in the 1910 census, but does appear in the 1920 Buffalo census.as a single lodger in the home of August Willman..

He m. Lillian E., b. Apr 1871 in NY. Son:

  1. Lawrence Prentiss, b. Jul 1890, NY. Not in SSDI.

Who are Andrew L. Prentiss' parents?

The only clue we have so far is from the 1920 census which says he emigrated to the United States in 1876 at the age of about 15, probably with his parents, and that both of his parents were b. in Canada.

Andrew was b. Feb 1861, so his parents were likely b. c. 1830-1841 in Canada. No Prentice/Prentiss meeting that criteria appear in either the 1880 or 1900 Erie Co., NY, census.

A couple of postings on Ancestry.com indicate he is a son of Solomon Prentice and a descendant of Oliver Prentice and Lydia Delong. However, the posting is questionable because the children shown for Solomon do not match the children we show.
