INTRODUCTION: Ian Prentice and John R. Threlfall, working independently, have compiled genealogical information which allows us to construct the likely ancestry of Henry Prentice, "The Planter," of Cambridge, MA. That information, and later additional discoveries by the author of this book, form the family tree set out below.

A WORD OF CAUTION: This is a work in progress and, for the earlier years, is based on C. J. F. Binney's 1883 Prentice book. A number of the connections he made are only tentative and not fully documented. If any of those folks are a part of your line, you should treat our information as investigative leads for you to pursue with your own independent verification. Whenever possible you should also obtain copies of the original documents involved. We have updated this article a number of times to correct Binney's errors. If you find any errors, please let us know and we will make appropriate further revisions.

E.  Henry Prentis was probably born c. 1490-1510 and d. 1570 (Essex Will #733) at the approximate age of 60-80 years. Henry was buried in White Colne on 1 April 1570. For a history of White Colne, see Appendix 2.

Henry Prentis was wealthy with land in Earls Colne, White Colne and Colne Engaine, all of which are small villages within 3-5 miles southeast of Halstead. In 1545, Henry Prentis was living in Colne Engaine.

He m. Joan whose maiden name was most probably Turner. We do not have a birth date for her, but, like, Henry, she was perhaps b. c. 1490-1510. Joan outlived Henry by about 8 years and d. in March 1578 at the approximate age of 68-88. She was buried on 28 March 1578 in White Colne.

It is very probable that Henry had a brother Robert Prentis who died in 1560 in Great Horkesley and was married to Agnes. Robert's Will referred to his brother, Harry, but did not name any children so any children he might have had may have predeceased Robert.

And, if Henry had a brother, Robert, it is only a small step to infer that Henry had other brothers and sisters not yet identified. Might William Prentice, an ancestor of Valentine Prentice, be a brother to Henry? William was born c. 1510-15, and could be of the same generation, but we do not know exactly where William was born; perhaps it was in the vicinity of Great Saling which lies about 10 miles WSW of White Colne since the the Vicar of Great Saling witnessed William's 1574 Will.

The possibility of a family link between Henry Prentice and William Prentice is worth pursuing.

The known children of Henry Prentis and his wife, Joan, not necessarily in age sequence, were:

  1. Agnes Prentis who was married to a Mr. Mann who was probably the son of Thomas Mann.
  2. Agnes Prentis the Younger, mentioned in Will. The names Agnes and Ann were synonymous at that time and she is likely the Ann Prentice who married John Throster 29 Jan 1578/8.
  3. Alice Prentis who m. Mr. Jenner (per Will)
  4. Thomas Prentis, the Elder. His birth date is unknown. . . . . . . . . . [D]
  5. Thomas Prentis, the Younger (per Will). He was bur. 21 Nov 1580 at Earls Colne.
  6. John Prentis, the Elder, probably born c. 1510-21, a Yeoman who died in 1582. . . . . . [C]
  7. John Prentis the Younger, perhaps b. c. 1540-60. Initially of Gaynes Colne; by 1582 he had moved to St. Margaret Pattern in London where he was a Pewterer. He married Ellen Buller in 1578 in St. Margaret Pattern and died in 1589 leaving a Will.
  8. Richard Prentis, b. c. 1533, Essex, and d. 26 Sep 1586,. . . . . . . . [B]
    a husbandman of White Colne. He m. Margaret Pond in White Colne or Earls Colne in 9 Nov 1561 (her surname also became transcribed as 'Ward', causing quite some confusion). She died in 1584
  9. Henry Prentis, b. c. 1535-45, who married Agnes Turner in 1565 in Rawreth and was living in 1570. Ian has not yet located any children born to them.

D.  Thomas Prentis the Elder, son of Henry and Joan. The date and place of Thomas' birth is not presently known, but if one assumes a normal life span of about 60 to 70 years, he would have been b. c. 1500 to 1510. He died in 1570 in Rettendon, Essex. The name of his wife is not presently known.

Known children of Thomas and his wife:

  1. Thomas Prentis who lived in Gaynes Colne and was buried in Earls Colne on 24 November 1580; it is unclear whether he had any children.
  2. Edward Prentis, b. probably 1544-60. Senior Yeoman who had land in White Colne, Gaynes Colne and Colne Engaine. His father's Will of 5 Sep 1570 had given him 2 acres of land in Colne Engaine and "land in White Colne and Colne Engaine called Chalk Pightle, Pett Croft, Gold Hords, Chalk Pightle and Cote Croft." His Will, Will #139 CW 9, dated 1624 names his wife, Joane, and his sister, Agnes. No children are named.
  3. William Prentis. He received his father's house and land in Rettenden called Blossoms. He may be the William Prentice of Colne Engaine who has Will #6 CW 98, dated 1614. He lived in Rettendon and appears to have died before 1624. For his Will, see Prentices of Essex in our Prentice Newsletter.
  4. Arthur Prentis. His father's Will gave him his father's featherbed. He appears to have died before 1624.
  5. Anne Prentis who married Thomas Brewer of Kelvedon

C.  John Prentis (son of Henry and Joan), probably b. c. 1510-1521, a Yeoman who died in 1582 in Colne Engaine. He was very well off with land in Earls Colne, part of the Manor of Bramptons in Colne Engaine and in Halstead which he bought from his younger brother John.

John m. 1st Frances Rusham, daughter of Thomas Rusham Gentleman of Sudbury who died in 1578 and, like his son Jeffrey Rusham Gentleman of London who died the previous year, left money to Frances' four children John, William, Robert and Johan (Joan). John m. 2nd Alice who died in 1584 leaving a will.

The known children of John and Frances/Alice are:

  1. John Prentis the Elder, a Yeoman of Colne Engaine.
  2. William Prentis who was a Yeoman. He lived in Colne Engaine where he died in 1614 though he also had land in Gaynes Colne. He married Ellen Hurrye in 1580. Ellen died 1631.
  3. Robert Prentis, probably born c. 1530-41, who became a Pewterer in St. Margaret Pattern, London where he died in 1574 leaving a Will. He married Joan Frith there in 1561 and they had one child:
    1. Mary Prentis who died unmarried in London in 1582 when her mother was still alive.
  4. Joan Prentis.
  5. Agnes Prentis the Elder who married Mr. Bragge.
  6. Elizabeth Prentis who married James Richardson.
  7. John Prentis the Younger Yeoman of Halstead and White Colne. He died in 1619 in Colne Engaine.
  8. Mary Prentis.
  9. Agnes Prentis the Younger.

B.  Richard Prentice (son of Henry) was b. c. 1533, Essex, and bur. at Earls Colne on 26 Sep 1586. Richard lived in White Colne until about 1574 when mention of Richard is found in Earls Colne, the next parish.

Richard m. Margaret Ward on 9 Nov 15761, White Colne, Essex, per John Threlfall and Ancestry.com. Margaret is the dau. of John Ward and Rose (surname unknown) of Earls Colne (per Will of John Ward). Margaret was b. c. 1540 and was bur. 8 May 1584 at Earls Colne. Margaret died in 1584. For Richard's Will, see Appendix 1. Children:

  1. Margaret Prentis who was baptized on 20 Sep 1562, White Colne. She died in St. Margaret Pattern, London in 1582 at the age of about 20 years.
  2. Ann Prentice, b. c. 1563, Essex.
  3. Joan Prentis, twin of Richard, below, was bap. on 14 Jul 1564 in White Colne; she was buried there about 7 weeks later on 4th September 1564.
  4. Richard Prentis, twin of Joan, above, was baptized on 14 Jul 1564, Earls Colne, and d. in 1623 at the age of about 59. Richard was buried on 29 December 1623 in Earls Colne. We do not yet know the name of his first wife. His second marriage was to Joan Carter in 21 Jun 1604 in Earls Colne; she was buried on 5 Sep 1634.
  5. Albon Prentis was baptized on 3 March 1566 in Earls Colne. He is named in his father's 1586 Will. Albon may have d. in Doddinghurst, Essex. We do not know his wife's name. The known children of Albon are:
    1. Mary Prentis )Marye Prentise), b. 5 Jun 1608 in Doddinghurst
    2. Lawrence Prentis born in 1611, Doddinghurst, Essex, and d. at the age of 3 on 17 Apr 1614 (per IGI).
    3. Margaret Prentis born in 1615; she married Thomas Glascock on 26 Oct 1641 in Doddinghurst.
  6. John Prentis baptized on 25 July 1568 in White Colne. He married Martha Ward on 26 August 1599 and after her death married Alice Roland on 25 March 1613. . . . . . . . [A]
  7. Helen/Helena Prentis baptized on 9 July 1570, White Colne. She probably d. young as not mentioned in her father's Will of 1586.
  8. Henry Prentis bap. 25 July 1576 (IGI says christened 1 Jul 1576), Earls Colne. He was buried on 13 December 1623/4 in White Colne. He m. Joan Polly on 12 July 1604 in White Colne. She d. 1641.
  9. Edward Prentis.
  10. Joan Prentis who was baptized on 2 or 12 February 1578 in Earls Colne, Essex, and d. there 1612 at the age of 34.

A.  John Prentis (son of Richard) was baptized on 25 July 1568 in White Colne. The register of burials after May 1625 is lost, so John probably died after that date. He does not appear on the 1636 Subsidy (tax) Roll. No Will has been found.

He married 1st Marargaret Wade on 26 August 1599. She was bap. 30 Nov 1581 at Earls Colne, dau. of Richard Wade and Margaret Waller (m. 27 Jul 1573 at Earls Colne). After her death, John married, as his 2nd wife, Alice Roland on 25 March 1613. Children:

  1. Henry Prentice, bap. 15 May 1600. He m. Elizabeth Fosdick on 2 Aug 1628 at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk/Essex, the next parish to the north. Threlfall identifies Henry as the Henry Prentice who emigrated to MA, although such identification appears to be circumstantial based on similarity of name and the fact that others from that same area emigrated to New England. See later discussion. . . . . . . [1]
  2. Margaret Prentice, bap. 29 May 1603. She m. John Cobb on 20 May 1627 at Earls Colne. He was the son of John Cobb and was bap. 20 Feb 1602/3. She was bur. 12 Jul 1630, perhaps in childbirth. Daughter:
    1. Margaret Cobb, bap 17 Aug 1628.

    After Margaret Prentice died, John Cobb married, as his 2nd wife, Susan, and they had:

    1. Anne Cobb, bap. 22 May 1632, Earls Colne.
  3. John Prentis bap. on 26 April 1609; he was buried on 26 August 1609
  4. William Prentice, bap. 6 Apr 1613. Threlfall suggests William was perhaps b. in 1611 and bap. late, otherwise he would conflict with the next child.
  5. John Prentice, bap. 29 Dec 1613. He may have m. Mary Quilter in 1641 in Bures.
  6. Susan Prentice, bap. 11 Feb 1615/6 and bur. 11 Aug 1623 at White Colne.

Note: Threlfall suggests the possibility that the following men might also be John's sons but there is no present documentation:

  1. Robert Prentice, perhaps b. c. 1600-1609, who m. Mary Woodward on 29 Sep 1629 at Earls Colne.
  2. Edward Prentice, perhaps b. c. 1600-1610, who m. Alice Brown on 3 Nov 1631 at Earls Colne.

    The following record appears in Earls Colne Manor Court Rolls (ERO D/DPr78):

    11.6.1633 (Tuesday 11 June 1633) document 38401391: at this court the said homage divided and partitioned between Edw Browne and Edw Prentice and Alice his wife one messuage called Berefeild and lands and tenements of the said messuage now or lately pertaining which the said Edw and Edw and Alice jointly held and divided according to the now said agreement pertaining and in the said form following viz (Note: numbering has been added to the original for clarity)
    1. that the said Edw Browne his heirs and assigns were to have and to hold the said messuage the Church Path Field also called the next South Field
    2. and the yard pertaining to the said messuage
    3. and one field called Reading
    4. and another field called Berecrofte
    5. and another field in front of a barn pertaining to the said messuage
    6. and that the said Edw Browne his heirs and assigns were to maintain and repair as their task the fence against the chase
    7. and were to pay to the lord for the premises 2s5d per annum
    8. and that the said Edw Prentice and Alice his wife the heirs and assigns of the said Alice were to have and to hold one field called the Spare Pasture one pightle and the said chase and one other field lying on the backside of the said barn and were to pay to the lord for their part

    The known children of Edward and Alice were:

    1. Edward Prentice, chr. 26 Aug 1632, Earls Colne and d. there 15 Dec 1632.
    2. Elizabeth Prentice, chr. 1 Jan 1634, Earls Colne.
    3. Alice Prentice, chr. 31 Aug 1636, Earls Colne. She may have d. c. 1834, perhaps in childbirth of her dau., Alice, as an entry in the Earls Colne Manor: Fine Book (ERO D/DPr100) shows "Edw Browne 1634 admitted to the moiety of Bowerfield late Prentis's wife his daughter and this was worth 5li per annum and he paid for his fine in regard he hath paid many fines lately 7li (emphasis added).
    4. John Prentice who was bur. 4 Jun 1640 at Earls Colne.

1.  Henry Prentice, "the planter," (son of John) of Cambridge, MA was there before 1640, and was probably born in England. As noted above, John R. Threlfall has identified Henry as the son of Richard Prentice, above, and says Henry was bap. 25 May 1600 at White Colne, Essex, England. White Colne lies perhaps 3 miles southeast of Halstead. It is also only about 7-8 miles east of Great Saling and Shalford where Valentine Prentice, another emigrant to colonial New England, has his roots.

The 1600 Henry m. 1st Elizabeth Fosdick on 2 Aug 1628 at Bures St. Mary, Suffolk/Essex, the next parish to the north. If Henry and Elizabeth had any children, they is yet to be discovered.

Threlfall's identification of Henry Prentice's roots, while it may be correct, appears to be only circumstantial in nature and based on the facts that:

  • Others from that same area emigrated to New England, and
  • His wife's first name was Elizabeth. It should be noted that available research in New England research has not yet disclosed the emigrant Henry's wife's maiden surname name, or her date or place of birth or marriage.

Without additional evidence, such linking of the Henrys seems somewhat fragile.

When and how did Henry Prentice come to America? According to Kevin Cassidy, a descendant, in his email of 16 Apr 2006, his mother orally related to him that Henry emigrated aboard the "Speedwell." For now he has no documentary proof supporting that oral statement. We have been researching that ship trying to locate passenger lists. Apparently it did make voyages to New England in the early 1600s, but the only list we have located so far in that time frame was the voyage of the "Speedwell", Robert Corbin, Master, sailing on 22 Apr 1637 from Weymouth, England, to "New England." The passenger list shows: 

    -Edward Wiett and his wife,
    -Elizabeth Winter and her two children;
    -John Crocker, his wife and his boy;
    -Thomas Claff, his wife and two friends;
    -William Scaddinge;
    -Walter Harris, his wife, six children & three servants;
    -Giles Richard, his wife, three children, one boy & one maid;
    -Thomas Farwell and two servants;
    -Thomas Cooke, his wife and three children;
    -William Longe and his brother;
    -Elizabeth Poole, two friends and 14 servants;
    -Henry Cogan, his wife, seven menservants and two maidservants.
If Henry arrived aboard that ship, it would have to have been as one of the unnamed " two friends" or among the 26 male "servants" and his wife, if any, among the 3 maids.

In any event, and whatever his ancestry, after his emigration "before 1640" according to C. J. F. Binney's 1883 PRENTICE book, Henry was a member of the First Church, Cambridge, MA, formed in 1636 by Rev. Jonathan Mitchell of that church. Jonathan Mitchell's list of church members of the Shepard First Church, Cambridge (taken 11th month, 1668), in Newell's sermon, was found by Rev. Dr. Holmes among the Prince manuscripts in the Old South Church, Boston. It had double columns of names.

The new stone church near the Washington Elm in Cambridge, Rev. Dr. McKenzie, pastor, is the Shepard Church. The Unitarian Church, Cambridge, Rev. Mr. Hall, pastor, is named the First Church.. He owned lands in Sudbury, MA as one of the original proprietors of the second and third divisions of land there in 1650. He died, per Cambridge town records, 9 Jun 1654.

"Inventory of the estate of Henry Prentice, Sen., of Cambridge, 1663:
House and 5 acres land and orchard, L27;
3 acres in Westfield, L27, 10;
3 acres meadow at Ale---(?), L23;
2 do. on South-side of river, L2, 6, 0;
1 pr. sheets, 12/;
1 new sheet, 3/;
1 coarse do., 4/6d; napkins, 3/4d=L1, 2, 4;
2 iron pots, 8/;
1 kettle, 1 chair, beetle and wedges and handsaw, 4/;
a little table and bowl and little barrel, 2/;
1 paid, 1 stool, 1 pr tongs, 1 warming pan, 1 hoe, 3/4d;
2 cows, L9;
1 pewter dish, 1 porringer, 1 smoothing iron, 2/;
1 town rate in Sudbury, L1.-Prized by Gilbert, his X mark;
Crackbone and Gregory Stone, Oct. 16, 1663."
His relict widow, Joan, and John Gibson, "her now husband," administrators. The Court ordered distribution to the widow, L20; rest to the children except to oldest son, double.

In 1648 Henry and wife Deed these lands (Sudbury) to John Goodnow and soon thereafter moved to Cambridge. Henry Prentice was identified a freeman in Cambridge, 22 May 1653. His first wife, Elizabeth, d. 13 May 1643 (per Binney's 1852 Edition. His 1883 Edition says 1653, but that appears to be a typographical error).

Henry married, 2nd, Joane (per Savage) in 1853. Based on the name of their first son, Solomon, a relatively rare name at that time and place and a name not identified as one in Henry's lineage, John Threlfall suggests that Joane may have been a daughter of Solomon Johnson, or a younger sister, since Solomon Johnson was one of only 2 or 3 men so-named who settled in MA at that time.

Henry Prentice d. 9 Jun 1654, at Cambridge, MA.

"Joan, widow of Henry Prentice, and their children, Mary, Solomon, Abiah, Samuel, Sarah and Henry, were all born and baptized in this [First] church, Cambridge."

Joan, widow of Henry Prentice, deceased, was a member in full communion there, as was her husband, Henry P." Joan, Henry's widow, m. 2nd John Gibson Sr., 24 Jul 1662 (his 2nd wife), when he was 65.

9. Dea. Henry Prentice, "brickmaker," son of Solomon and Hepzibah. He was b. 1693 in Cambridge, Middlesex Co., MA and d. 18 Oct 1778 at the age of about 85 in Holliston, MA. Ref: C. J. F. Binney, 1883, pp. 8-9, #9.

In the settlement of his father's estate, he was allowed for four and one half years' services L92, at "Westfield gate." He was deacon at Rev. Dr. Nathaniel Appleton's Presb. Church in Cambridge from 24 Nov 1741 to 14 Jul 1774 when he resigned. A valuable document, instituting the first prayer-meeting, written and signed by him, was in possession of Rev. Mr. Albro of the Shepard Cong. Church, Cambridge, and claimed as church property, but all trace of it was lost by 1883.

Dea. Henry Prentice was a tall and very grave-looking man, and on the Sabbath occupied the "deacons' seat" directly in front of the minister. In cold weather, when he took off his hat in church, he put on a green woolen tasseled cap, as the top of his was bald.

Deacon Henry Prentice owned the Fresh Pond property in Cambridge, MA. afterwards bought by his grandsons, Henry Prentice and Appleton Prentice, noted Boston merchants. His house, where he lived many years, in 1882 still remained in Cambridge, about forty rods from the Washington Elm, next to the parsonage of the new Shepard Church. It was formerly occupied by Miss Elizabeth Bates, having been purchased by her father about 1780. In 1877, the house was said to be two hundred years old and in good preservation, built of oak, the walls filled in with brick, the beams showing half-way through the ceiling of the rooms. It was a two-story house, about thirty-foot front; the front door in the center faced the yard, a room each side of the entry; a very wide staircase; chimney a large, old-fashioned one, in the center of the house; two windows in front below and three above. In 1883, Dr. Hildreth, the then-owner who lived next door. razed the home.

A few years later Dr. Hildreth found a silver spoon in the yard with a "B" (for Bates) on it. Possibly this may have been the house of Solomon Prentice Sr. and of Henry Prentice Sr. and one of the houses bought of the parishioners of Rev. Thomas Hooker who went with him to Connecticut in 1636.

Dea. Henry moved from Cambridge in 1775 when our troops occupied Cambridge, and died at his son's house, Rev. Joshua Prentice, in Holliston, 18 Oct 1778, age 85. In his Will of 20 Jan 1776, proved 5 Jan 1779, mentions his daughters, Martha Ware, Hepzibah Foster, Sarah Hill, and sons Nathan (deceased), Caleb (deceased), Joshua and Henry. The bequests are described in more detail in the 1883 edition of this work at pg. 9.

He m. 1st Elizabeth Rand, dau. of Wm. Rand ;of Milk Row, Charlestown, MA. She was b. 23 Mar 1697 in Charlestown, Suffolk Co., MA, and d. She d. 13 Mar 1748-9, age 52 per her gravestone at Cambridge, opposite the colleges. Ancestor Charts for her can be found at Ancestry.com .

11. Rev. Nathaniel Prentice, son of Henry and Mary, Harvard College, 1715. He was ordained 1718 in Dunstable, MA as successor of Rev. Mr. Wells. The History of Dunstable says he began to preach there in June, 1720 and that the town gave a call 20 Aug 1720, offering L100 on settlement, and a salary of L80 a year. He accepted and the town voted 13 Nov 1720 that when he comes to keep house and have a family, and stand in need of a larger supply, then to add reasonable additions to his salary if their abilities will afford it.that says, in effect, if we think you need it, and if we can afford it, we'll give you more, the amount to be determined in our sole discretion. However, as a minister, he undoubtedly trusted and saw the good in people and was not distrustful of his own flock.

On 8 Dec 1720 the town of Dunstable again voted that he shall have a sufficient supply of wood, or L10 of passable money in lieu thereof, yearly. Rev. Prentice was called a man of wit and good sermonizer".

He died in Dunstable 27 Feb 1737, age 40. His Will of 6 Dec 1736 was proved 24 Mar 1738 by his widow, the executrix, and gives his daughter, Mary, sons William, Henry and Nathaniel, daughter, Lucy, and son, John, L20 each and the rest to his wife. Inventory, 1738, etc., 25 acres, L500; other, L140, including "negro woman," L80; the follows "other cattle," as cow, heifer, sheep, etc. Total, L890. (See also Supplement for notes on the Tyng line.)

Nathaniel m. 7 Oct 1743 Mary Tyng, dau. of Judge William Tyng of Nashua. Mary, was a smart, courageous woman and a good shot. At a shooting match she took the fun from her husband's hands and won the prize, a fowling-piece, which was handed down in the family and was in 1851 in the possession of William H. Prentice, Esq., of Boston; in 1882 his children were deceased and the gun's whereabouts was unknown. Ancestor Charts for Mary Tyng can be found at Ancestry.com . Children of Nathaniel and Mary:

12. Rev. Solomon Prentice, b. 11 May 1705, Cambridge, Middlesex Co., MA, and d. 22 May 1773, Grafton, Worcestor Co., MA. He was the son of Solomon (#5) and Lydia. Harvard College, 1727.

He m. Sarah Sartell on 26 Oct 1732, in Groton, MA. She was b. c. 1714, Groton, Middlesex Co., MA, and d. 28 Aug 1792, Grafton, Worcester Co., MA. She was the dau. of Nathaniel Sartell and his wife, Sarah Higginson. An Ancestor Chart for Sarah Sartell can be found at Ancestry.com . An Ancestor Chart for Sarah Higginson can be found at Ancestry.com .

Nathaniel Sartell came from England about 1708 or 1709). For interesting information about Nathaniel and his family Bible, see Appendix 4 . After graduation, Solomon prepared himself for the ministry in Cambridge under Rev. Mr. Appleton, and took notes of all the sermons he heard preached which MSS have been preserved by a descendant.

He was settled as the first minister of Grafton, MA (then called by the Indian name of Hasanamisco) by the proprietors on a salary of L100 per year. A day of fasting with religious services was appointed there before his selection; he then was a resident of Cambridge.

The day previous to Rev. Prentice's ordination a church of twenty persons was formed at Grafton, with a covenant which was of a highly liberal and catholic spirit, such as was used in some other churches; one clause was "To use the Holy Scriptures as their platform, whereby they might discern the mind and will of Christ, and not the new-found inventions of men.," The testimonials of his qualifications were signed by Trowbridge, of Groton, Appleton of Cambridge, and Parkman, of Westbor' and are on Grafton records. Note: An interesting account of the old Nathaniel Sartell Bible, once owned by the father of Sarah Sartell, wife of #12, Solomon Prentice, can be found in Appendix B of the 1883 edition beginning at page 402 and is discussed in Appendix 4, mentioned above.

He was a man of God, pure in heart, of the Calvinist Congregational persuasion."

When he proposed to Sarah Sartell, sitting on a tree in the woods, he used the words of Naomi to Ruth, "Will you go with me?" She replied as did Ruth, "Wither thou goest, I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge; they people shall be my people, and thy God be my God."

The house owned and occupied by Mr. Prentice in Grafton was on land owned in 1852 by Hon. Samuel Woods, and was near the church. It was purchased by Mr. Charles Prentice of Grafton, grandson of Rev. Solomon, and for many years the town clerk of Grafton, and removed to near the foot of the hill on Oak Street, and was good house in 1883, built of oak and the frame so stiff "it might be rolled over without injury." In 1876 it was used as a residence by Rev. Mr. Huzzy, the Baptist minister of Grafton.

The old church was since removed a few rods, and converted into a store, and in 1883 stood in good preservation on the corner opposite the then-new church.

One Sunday, soon after the settlement of the town, while proceeding to church, Rev. Mr. Prentice espied a bear on a chestnut tree near the meeting-house. Not think it prudent to let him be at large so near the houses, he returned for his gun, shot him, and then returned to church, satisfied he had done his duty.

His salary being small, he was obliged to devote a portion of his time to agriculture for his support.

Great harmony prevailed in his congregation till 1743, the period of strong religious excitement and controversy in New England, caused by "New Lights" and Whitfield's doctrines, who was invited to preach by Mr. Prentice. Owing to the opposition of a majority of his society, a council was called in 1744, who made a temporary reconciliation, but the trouble recommenced, and resulted in his dismission 10 Jul 1747, after sixteen years' faithful service.

Four months after giving up his charge in Grafton, 18 Nov 1747, he was installed in Easton. "his pastorate there was not peaceful, their being a strong party against him" he was probably too liberal and advanced for them, as shown by the following, written with his own hand in the church records, regarding his suspension:

"Because I had received a few of my fellow creatures (and fellow Christians so far as I knew) into my house, and suffered them to pray and talk about the Scriptures, and could not make any acknowledgment therefor to some of my brethren, who were offended thereat, nor to the Presbytery. Voted, That he the said S. Prentice be suspended from the discharge of the public ministry, until the Presbytery meet again, next April. Because by said vote I was deprived of the small subsistence I had among my people in Easton, I thought it necessary for the honor of God and good of my family to remove to Grafton, which accordingly was done, April 9, 1755. N. B. I have never heard a word from the Presbytery neither by letter or otherwise, nor they from me from the day of my suspension to this day, viz., Sept. 5, 1755." (Rev. Samuel H. Emery's "Ministry of Taunton," Vol. II, p. 193.)

He preached also in Hull, MA from 1768 to 1772. His salary was L26, 13s, 4d, and the use of the parsonable lands, about L13 6s, 3d more; total, L40; but as those lands were of no benefit to him, the town voted to make it up to him. While in Hull, he married his daughter, Mary, to Amos Binney, Jr. (the grandparents of C.J. F. Binney who authored the 1883 edition of this book and Binney's grandparentspages to the life of Rev. Solomon Prentice.).

The sea air in Grafton not agreeing with his health, the town voted him a certain sum, and he, being present, accepted it, and gave up the remainder of his term and returned with his family to his own house in Grafton.

Sarah, the wife of Rev. Solomon Prentice, was well educated and so conversant with the Bible that she could repeat any part of it, and could write a good sermon. Her last days were spent with her son, John, in Ward (now Auburn), MA. While there she fell and injured her hipbreaks because of a weakening of the bone structure, and the person then falls, seeming to have broken the hip in the fall. and was confined to her room the latter part of her life.

She carried several of her things to Ward which Binney, in his 1883 edition, described in more detail along with their locations in 1883.

The Grafton town records has "Rev. Solomon Prentice died in Grafton, May 22, 1773; age. 68 the day he died." "In memory of ye Rev. Solomon Prentice, who was ordained first Pastor of ye church in Grafton, Dec. 29, 1731, and continued in that sacred relation to them about 16 years; afterwards, in various places, was employed in publishing ye glad tiding of peace and salvation, until near ye close of life, May 22, 1773, when, aged 68, he fell asleep in expectation of a glorious Immortality. Blessed are ye deat that die in ye Lord. (Inscription on his gravestone in Grafton, MA.) Reverend Solomon Prentice was buried in the Grafton burial ground. His widow, Sarah, died 28 Aug 1792, age 76, at her son John's in Ward and was buried in Grafton beside her husband near the center of the ground.

As there was no stone on her grave in 1850, Mr. Binney sent a small marble slab with an inscription to mark the spot until a suitable slab was to be erected. The date of her death and age on the slap are wrong, as her friends then could not give the correct one.

        George Foster Prentiss, B.D. 1887. Born September 28, 1858, in Windham, Vt. Died November 3, 1916, in Florence, Mass.

        George Foster Prentiss was the son of Asahel Omar and Hannah Silsbee (Johnson) Prentiss, and was born in Windham, Vt., September 20, 1858. Through his father, whose parents were Reuben Prentiss, Jr., and Roxana (Upham) Prentiss, he traced his descent to John Upham, who settled in Massachusetts in 1635 and whose son, Phineas, was a lieutenant in King Philip's War. His mother was the daughter of Cyrus and Hephzibah (Page) Johnson, and a descendant of Capt. Timothy Johnson, who came to America from Kent County, England, about 1670 and settled at Andover, Mass. He had at least three ancestors who served in the Revolution -- Jonathan Upham, Nathan Page, and Reuben Prentiss. An uncle fought in the Civil War.

        He received his early education in the preparatory department of Oberlin College and at the Monson (Mass.) Academy. In 1880 he entered Amherst College, taking his B.A. there four years later. He was a student in the Yale School of Religion from 1884 to 1887.

        Mr. Prentiss was ordained to the ministry of the Congregational Church at Bridgeport, Conn., in May of that year, and until December, 1893, served as pastor of the West End Church. His next charge was in Winsted, in that state, where he was located for four years. He closed his labors there in December, 1897, and the following month accepted a call to Davenport Church, New Haven. He served that church for eight years. From November, 1906 to September, 1907, he was pastor of the Congregational Church at Cambridge, N.Y. He went from there to Schenectady, N.Y., where he was pastor of the Jay Street Congregational Church for four years. About six months before he left Schenectady, this church united with the People's Church, forming the United People's Church, and of this latter organization Mr. Prentiss became associate pastor During 1910-11 he served as moderator of the Hudson River Association of Congregational Churches. His last charge was that of the Florence Church at Northampton, Mass., to which he had been called five years before his death.

        Mr. Prentiss had unusual musical gifts, which proved of great value to him in his work. While pastor of Davenport Church, he served as president of the New Haven Oratorio Society, and in Schenectady he was president of the Philharmonic Choral Society and musical editor of the Citizen.

        He died at his home in Florence, November 3, 1916, the direct cause of his death being anaemia, which came as the result of a nervous breakdown. Burial was in the Center Cemetery in his native town.

        His marriage took place June 28, 1887, in Derby, Conn., to Sarah A, daughter of Lucius and Mary (Naramore) Gilbert. They had no children. Besides his wife, Mr. Prentiss is survived by his mother, two sisters, and a brother.

17. Rev. Thomas Prentice. Material from the Kennebunkport, ME library says that Rev. Prentice arrived in Cape Porpoise, Arundel, Maine in the Spring of 1730 for a three month trial period. Called to be the "first settled Minister" of the town on June 27. The town agreed to his demands for salary in coin only and to his specifications for a house and land to be included in the package.

'Mr. Prentice had gained the affections of his people who appeared to treat him with much consideration They gave him L20 a year, in addition to his salary, to furnish him with fuel; and L10 " more a year, and Every year for six years to Com to make up ye badness of his Sallery by Reson of his Complaining the mney was Not so good as it was when he and the Town made their agreement." After long debate, they gave him L30 , towards buying him a servant [slave] ; and "allowed seven shillings for mending ye Meeting House doore that the winde might not blow up on Mr Prentice." '

In 1736, there was famine, Indian unrest and sickness. " Owing to the poverty of the town, [1738] and the difficulty with which he collected his salary, Mr. Prentice asked his dismission. " November 7, the town voted to dismiss him. (pg. 137-9 of the History of Kennebunkport written in 1837 by Charles Bradley)

He then returned to Cambridge. While in Cambridge he accepted an invitation to settle as pastor of the Charlestown, MA church and was installed as a colleague of Rev. Hull abbot 31 Oct 1739. There was not a cordiality of feeling between the two pastors over one church. After Mr. Abbot's death, Mr. Prentice continued as sole pastor until the opening scenes of the Revolution disturbed and hindered his office.

After 380 houses in Charlestown were burned by the British at the Battle of Bunker Hill on 17 Jun 1775, the inhabitants scattered and Mr. Prentice returned to Cambridge. When the church was again united 3 years later, he rode from Cambridge to Charlestown to officiate.

His meeting-house destroyed, the church met in a block-house small and rudely built which was fitted up for the purpose and stood on the hill on the same spot where the church of Mr. "Buddington stood in 1852.

Here he continued to officiate to a faithful and affectionate audience until his powers of mind, memory, and body were exhausted.

He was a very energetic preacher and retained his warmth of manner to the last. His quick motions often displaced his wig in preaching, when his daughter would quickly ascend the platform and readjust it without disturbing the congregation.

He at last lost his memory and omitted for two successive Sabbaths previous to the annual Thanksgiving to read the proclamation, when his daughter stepped into the aisle and reminded him of it, which he gratefully acknowledged, but owing to infirmity and temporary confusion at the time he was obliged to request Dea. Frothingham to read it.

The last day he that he preached to his congregation, he delivered the same sermon both in the morning and in the afternoon. Rev. Prentice lived the latter part of his life in his own house in Cambridge in which he was born, and where he died 17 Jun 1782, age 80, and was honorably interred on the burial-ground hill, Charlestown, at the expense of that town. The inscription on the church tablet erected to his memory is: "Rev. Thomas Prentice, born in Cambridge, graduated at Harvard University, 1726. Installed Oct. 31 1739; died June 17, 1782, ae. 80"

Several of his manuscript sermons were preserved by his daughter, Rebecca, and several were printed. A portrait of him by Badger, of Boston, 1755, was owned in 1852 by his granddaughter, Mrs. Rebecca, widow of Mr. Amasa Stetson, of Dorchester, MA. A copy is shown in Binney's 1st Edition. The inventory of his estate was L505.

Soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, he is said to have been Capt. of a company, and in Boston and kept a boarding-house there for many years for Cape Ann people, "taking list Boston, 1785" He died there 26 Nov 1797, age 56. His Will, Boston, 15 Mar 1784 gave all to his widow. She continued the boarding-house until 1806 when she returned to Gloucester. No children.

21. Rev. Joshua Prentice, b. 9 Apr 1719, son of Dea. Henry and Elizabeth. Harvard College, 1738. About 1773, at the age of 54, he began to write his surname as Prentiss and this branch of the family has since continued that spelling of the name. His residence in Holliston is shown in Binney's 1st. Ed. at pg. 95.

Joshua was ordained minister of Holliston, MA on 18 May 1743. At the age of seven his life was despaired of by fever. His father promised if he was spared he would devote him to God's services. In early life he was bapt. and assumed his parent's obligation. His sentiments were Calvinistic. About five years before he died, owing to protracted illness about 1784, his pastoral connection was dissolved, his salary was withheld, and he was obliged to sue the town, but it was paid and harmony prevailed, and the town exempted him from taxation and gave seats in the meeting-house to his family.

His Will, dated at Holliston on 22 Mar 1786, mentions his wife, Mary, and daughters Margaret and Elizabeth, sons Appleton, Joshua, Thomas and Henry. He gave Appleton his farm at Cambridge and he and other brothers were joint executors.

He married, first, Mary Angier of Cambridge on 9 Nov 1743. She was b. 10 May 1663 in Medford, Middlesex Co., MA and d. 4 Jan 1754, age 35. She was the dau. of Edmund Angier and Anna Batt. Ancestor Charts for her can be found at Ancestry.com . Children by wife, Mary Angier:

	and receipts to Christian benevolence and by Will left 
	her estate to the Bangor Theological Seminary.
ix.	Appleton Prentice.					[55]

Note: The above dates for the births of the children came from Binney's 1883 Prentice book. Holliston VR, however, show different dates as follows: 

   Binney, 1883   Holliston VR      child
   -----------   ---------------   --------------------
          1761   bp. 30 Aug 1761   Appleton (the 2nd one)
    7 Mar 1749     24 Feb 1748/9   Henry
    9 Sep 1744     18 Oct 1744     Joshua
    9 Nov 1752     19 Jan 1752     Mary
   27 Oct 1747     14 Oct 1747     Thomas

It might be that the differences could be resolved if one date were the birth and the later date the baptism. For Mary, the birth date in the Holliston VR is "19 Jan 1752"; it might be that Holliston VR should read "19 Jan 1752/3", otherwise the date differences appear widely divergent.

He may be the Edward Prentice, b. c. 1870, United States, who is shown in the 1910 census in Brattleboro as divorced and an inmate/patient at an institution called the Brattleboro Retreat. A Google search shows it to be a private psychiatric hospital founded in 1834, originally known as the Vermont Asylum for the Insane.

        It is unclear whether she is the Mary Prentice shown in the 1900 census in Brattleboro, Windham Co., VT, as b. May 1880, Ireland and who is shown as a servant, married, but no husband is shown. It shows her immigration from Ireland to America in 1893.

        It is probable that the children of Edward and Mary are shown in the 1910 and 1920 Brattleboro census in the home of Charles Smith and Anna Smith where they are called nieces and nephews in 1910 and called adopted children in 1920. Anna Smith was born in Ireland and is probably a sister to Mary Garrity. Children shown:

      That website also contains the following interesting informationabout John C. Cunningham:

        e-mail from Barbara Cheesbrough (April 9, 2004): Here is a little more information regarding my second great grandparents. John Cunningham's middle initial is C instead of S. He was awarded a Spanish land grant on April 6, 1831 for one league of land, three quarters of which was located in Bastrop County, Texas, and one quarter in Fayette County, Texas. It showed his name as John C. Cunningham. The 1850 census of Bastrop County, Texas, shows his name as John C. Cunningham. On his widow, Susan's gravemarker, it shows her second husband was John C. Cunningham. In the Probate Records of Bastrop County, Texas, 4th September 1874 John is listed as John C. Cunningham, deceased. I visited the Cunningham Cemetery which is located near Winchester, Texas. I couldn't find the grave marker for John C. Cunningham, but did find Susan's marker, as well as that of their son and my great grandfather, John Prentice Cunningham.

        Susan Prentice was married first to William Redfield. They had three sons, then were divorced. Susan's sister Ann was married to John C. Cunningham. After the death of Ann, John Cunningham married Susan, who was divorced with three sons. I haven't yet found a marriage date for them. My uncle, Lucius Halbert, who lived to be 100 years old, told me about John Cunningham marrying a divorced woman who had three sons.

    29.15a Henry Prentice Redfield, b. 27 May 1819 in Londonderry, Rockingham County, NH. John Casall's email of 28 Jun 2010 contains the following information from "The Handbook of Texas Online:"

      REDFIELD, HENRY PRENTICE (1819ñ1900). Henry Prentice Redfield, an early colonist and soldier in the Army of the Republic of Texas, was born in Derry, New Hampshire, on May 27, 1819, the son of William and Susan (Prentice) Redfield. After the death of his father, his mother married John C. Cunningham, a friend of Moses and Stephen F. Austin, and soon thereafter the family (including Henry's brothers, John Albert and William) immigrated to the Austin colony in Texas; they left New York in late 1830 and arrived by ship at Matagorda in 1831.

      They lived at San Felipe for several years, then settled on the Colorado River in lower Bastrop County on a large grant of land that became known as Cunningham's Prairie. Besides farming, the Cunninghams later ran a stagecoach inn on the old road from Austin to San Felipe.

      During the Texas Revolution Redfield was in Capt. John Henry Moore's company at the battle of Gonzales, October 2, 1835, and with Benjamin R. Milam at the siege of Bexar in early December 1835. Though not an actual participant in the battle of San Jacinto, he helped round up the fleeing Mexicans after the battle. Redfield continued to serve in the Texas army in various Indian fights and was wounded in the battle of Plum Creek on August 11, 1840. That year his brother William was killed in a battle involving the Republic of the Rio Grande.

      In 1842 Redfield was with Mathew Caldwell on the expedition against Adri·n Woll at San Antonio and fought in the battle of Salado Creek. During the Mexican War (in 1846) Redfield joined the First Texas Cavalry, United States Army, and served under Gen. Zachary Taylor at the battle of Resaca de la Palma and the siege of Monterrey.

      In 1850 he was the first census taker in Bastrop County.

      Redfield was married to Sarah Card of Fayette County on September 11, 1842, and they had nine children. After her death he was married to Julia Kersting of Washington County in 1872, and they had seven children. Redfield died on February 27, 1900, at Giddings and was buried in the Giddings Cemetery. An official Texas historical marker honoring Redfield was dedicated at his grave in 1971.

    29.16 (perhaps) Tabitha Dorcas Prentice. We have conflicting information about her date and place of birth:

    <>

  • One source says she was b. c. 1791 in Vermont to unidentified parents.

  • However, the IGI has 1 or more entries purporting to establish that Tabitha was b. 19 Mar 1794 and called "of Haverhill, Essex [Co.], MA, daughter of John Prentiss and Tabitha Sargent. John and Tabitha are #29.15 in our Henry eBook. So far we have not located corroborating evidence, but our investigation is continuing.

    Tabitha m. Obadiah Champlain. He was b. 10 Mar 1794, Washington, of Westerly, RI, and d. 20 Jan 1860. He was the son of Paul Champlin and Hannah Beach. Paul Champlain was the son of Paul Champlain and Ann Worden. An Ancestor Chart for Paul and Ann can be found in the LDS Ancestral File. Obadiah and Dorcas appear in the 1850 census in Carlisle, Lorain Co., OH.

    Tabitha may be the Tabatha Champlain, widow, shown in the 1880 census in Moose Lake, Carlton Co., MN, as b. c. 1794, Canada, living with her son William

      "Reminiscences of Early Days By A Pioneer Settler - Mrs. Eliza Bemis Writes First of Series of Historical Articles of Early Days in Emmet County", Vindicator and Republican, Estherville, Iowa, August 13, 1924. The first of a series of articles by pioneers of this county to appear from week to week in the Vindicator and Republican, is by Mrs. Eliza M. Bemis.

      Mrs. Bemis, who is now 79 [in 1924], has lived in Emmet county since 1866, when she came here from New York with her husband, S. E. Bemis. They came here with Mr. Bemis' brother D. M. L. Bemis. Mrs. Bemis has always been very active in affairs of the community, and expecially in the work of the Woman's Relief Corps, of which she is now president. She has a remarkable memory for her age, and though her health does not permit her to be so very active physically, her mind is in no way handicapped.

      Mr. Bemis, who is now deceased, was a Civil War veteran, and brought his bride of twenty-one to this county where they reared a family of seven children. Before coming here from New York, however, they lived a short time in East Chain, Minnesota.

      By Eliza M. Bemis: When we first came to Estherville, the year after the close of the Civil War, there was scarcely a dwelling house on the town site, in fact there was no town site. There was a fort, Fort Defiance, which had been built for protection against the Indians. Several families lived in the Fort.

      There was a hotel, however, not far from the present Rock Island bridge. This was kept by Mr. Haskins and was known as the Haskins Hotel. Here we deposited our scant supply of dry-goods and groceries which we had brought with us to start a store. During that first summer, while building was going on, we conducted our store at the hotel but lived in a little house which the men had put up in a few days after we arrived. There was one other store already here when we came. It was Fisher's store, a little grocery down by the river.

      Our nearest railroad was Fort Dodge. Our mail came from there, brought by stage, once a week. Goods for the store were brought from Garden City, Mankato and Blue Earth, Minn. These had to be brought overland by team and wagon and it was several days' journey to any of these places. Then the goods must be purchased and the return journey made. It was no small task in those days to make the trip.

      During the first summer quite a good deal of building was done. The old store building which was used to stand where the postoffice is now was one of the first one's built. The lumber was brought overland from Fort Dodge and Garden City, all except that used for interior finishing. That was sawed from native timber at the old saw mill down by the river. It was all black walnut, the shelves, counters and even the floor. Today that lumber could not be duplicated and if it could would be worth a small fortune.

      Graves and McKay opened a store in a building where the Ford garage now stands. The same summer brought a post office. It was a small building scarcely more than a shack, not far from the place where the Myhre & Jeglum store now is.

    Her obituary reads as follows:

      The Estherville (Iowa) Enterprise, April 22, 1925; Mrs. Simeon E. Bemis

      After months of suffering death came to one of our beloved pioneer citizens, Mrs. Simeon E. Bemis, on last Monday morning at 3 o'clock. For months the family have been constantly by her side administering all the care the failing mother could ask. Miss Pearl resigned her position with a college at Tulsa, Oklahoma, to be with her mother. For the past six months she has been a sufferer and a patient sufferer.

      Eliza M., daughter of Aseph and Diantha Watkins, was born November 2, 1845, in Malone, N.Y. She was united in marriage to Simeon E. Bemis on March 13, 1866. To this union there were seven children born. Carrie A., Claud W., Grace A., Eugene E., Sidney E., F. Perl, Hazel L. All are living with the exception of Claude who died in infancy.

      Mr. and Mrs. Bemis moved into this wilderness in 1866 and first resided near Chain Lakes and then at Chain Lakes and in the fall of 1866 they moved to Estherville, what little there was of it at that time and open up the first Mercantile store in this city. The building was a small one on the start and occupied the lot where our post office is now located. For years the family lived there and operated a store on that corner. As the business grew, the building was increased in size. In the early days Mrs. Bemis was among those who instituted a public library in for years the library was in front of the Bemis store, Mrs. Bemis assisted in taking care of it.

      Mrs. Bemis was an active member in the Baptist church and a great worker and that church in the early days and until her declining years. She was a fine Christian woman. A great worker in the flesW. R. C. been many times its president.

      Of later years she has occupied her beautiful home in the eastern portion of the city, two of her daughters, Miss Perl and Mrs. Hazel living with her.

      The funeral services were held from the home this afternoon conducted by the Rev. Hurley of Stone Lake and the Rev. Huxford of this city. The remains were laid to rest in the family lot in the East ___ cemetery.

    32.70. Alonzo Tyng Prentice, born 16 Dec 1799 at New Grandthem, Sullivan, NH. Alonzo d. 27 Jun 1872 at Lockport of paralysis.

    About the year 1807, the parents of Alonzo, John and Olive, emigrated from New Hampshire to Jefferson Co., New York, taking with them Olive, Lorenzo, Alonzo, Peter and Samuel. At the age of 13, Alonzo went to Watertown where he learned the trade of watchmaker, jeweler and silversmith with a man named Bosworth

    In 1815 he had mastered the trade of silver smithing and could make a "splendid spoon," many of which were to be found in Watertown and elsewhere. From Watertown he went to Sackett's Harbor, then to Buffalo with Mr. Bosworth who started a store there.

    In 1820 he bought out his employer and carried on the business for himself and did a thriving trade with the Tonawanda, Seneca and Tuscarora Indians in selling silver jewelry which he manufactured. He could speak their language fluently and was a great favorite with Red Jacket, William Mountpleasant, and other chiefs, and often accepted their hospitalities with his wife for the night in their wigwams when in their villages.

    He was married in 1823 and soon after moved to Lockport, being one of the first settlers of that city. He was one of the leading merchants and at one time well-to-do. The following article was clipped from one of the Lockport papers on his death:

      "We have to chronicle the death of one of our oldest and most respected citizens. Alonzo T. Prentice died Thursday, June 27, in the 73rd year of his age. Mr. Prentice had been ill several months, yet the announcement of his death produced a shock in the community where had led a long and exemplary life.

      Mr. Prentice was born in New Hampshire on the 16th of December, 1799. He went to Jefferson County when a boy, where he lived for some time, or until he was 20 years of age, when he traveled to Buffalo. In the latter place he lived three years, and at the age of 23 married an estimable lady of 16 and moved to Lockport (1822), where he resided until his death.

      Mr. Prentice was for many years engaged in the mercantile business in this place, village and city. At one time he had acquired a handsome property, but lending the use of his name to unfortunate parties, he became insolvent, from which he was a long time sufferer. In the days of his prosperity he exhibited a remarkably enterprising spirit. The stone residence now occupied by Gen John Jackson, and other substantial and still existing edifices were erected by him

      Mr. Prentice was many times honored by his fellow-citizens with positions of public trust, and always acquitted himself with marked credit. He was for several terms justice of the peace, supervisor, and repeatedly elected trustee of the village of Lockport. Mr Prentice was a good citizen, an honest man, and quitted the world leaving not a single enemy behind."

      Last weekís article highlighted the life and diary of Eliza Ann Prentice Crane, one of three individuals whom the Victorian parlor at the History Center is dedicated. Elizaís father was Alonzo T. Prentice who was an early resident and businessman in Lockport.

      Prentice was born in New Hampshire in 1799 and first settled in Buffalo in 1820, before moving to Lockport three years later. While still living in Buffalo, Prentice married Emeline Rockwell of Oneida County. They came to Lockport shortly after their marriage.

      He first opened a jewelry store on Canal Street, and a few years later moved his business to the south side of Main Street. From early on, Prentice was involved in politics in Niagara County. On October 19, 1831, he was present as a delegate at the Niagara Anti-Masonic Republican Convention held at the Washington House in Lockport ìfor the purpose of nominating candidates for the various county offices to be filled at the ensuing annual election in November next.î He was also appointed to a committee to ìdraft resolutions expressive of the feelings and views of the convention, and to prepare an address.î

      Prenticeís business must have been doing well in the early 1830s as he was able to build a large stone house at the southeast corner of Genesee and Pine streets for his growing family (nine children were born between 1824 and 1847). But the financial panic of 1837 caused hardships among many families, including the Prentices, and he was forced to sell the home to Gen. John Jackson. It is unclear where the family lived until 1842, but about that time Prentice acquired a large piece of property on LaGrange Street between Saxton and Cottage streets, approximately where Harvey Avenue was later cut through. It was this house, its trees and orchards that Eliza lamented leaving in her diary in 1851. In 1856, they are living on South Pine Street which is later described as ìbeyond High Street.î

      Throughout his years in Lockport, Alonzo Prentice held various positions of leadership in the community including as a member of the Niagara County Board of Supervisors, the Lockport Municipal Board, the Lockport School Board and as a justice of the peace. In politics he made the transition from Anti-Mason to Whig to Republican. After retiring from the jewelry business, Prentice kept an office in the Arcade Building on Pine Street near Main for use as justice of the peace. Beginning in the 1850s, Prenticeís adult children began to move out of the area. Out of the nine, two died as children, four went to Chicago, two to Michigan, and one to Pennsylvania.

      Emeline Prentice passed away in 1864 at the age of 57. Alonzo continued to live in the Pine Street house (now number 266) with assistance from his niece, Miss Lucy A. Clark, until his death of apoplexy in 1872, at 73 years of age. He was buried in Glenwood Cemetery with his wife and four of his children. In his obituary, Alonzo T. Prentice was remembered as ìa public-spirited and patriotic citizen Ö a congenial, pleasant neighbor, a faithful companion, and a discreet and indulgent father and reliable friend.î Miss Clark occupied the home until 1884 when she moved to Chicago to be close to several of her cousins. A notice in the Lockport Daily Journal for October 30, 1884 advertised an ìAuction of Household Goodsî at the ìlate residence of Alonzo T. Prentice.î Lucy Clark died in Chicago in 1889 but was buried in the Prentice plot at Glenwood.

    He m. Emeline Rockwell on 6 Dec 1823, Buffalo, NY, who was b. 28Jul 1807 in Whitestone, Oneida Co., NY, and d. 28 Mar 1864 in Lockport, Niagara Co., NY.

      NIAGARA DISCOVERIES: Teenaged girls haven't changed too much over centuries. Ann Marie Linnabery Niagara Discoveries Aug 12, 2017

      CONTRIBUTEDSisters Eliza Ann and Mary Josephine Prentice, circa 1845.

      Recently, a visitor came into the History Center who was particularly interested in the Victorian Parlor. One of the first things he spotted was a plaque and a photograph on the wall dedicating the parlor to the late Alonzo T. Prentice and his daughters, Eliza Ann Crane and Mary Josephine Crane; the dedication was by Alonzoís granddaughter, Mrs. Emily Crane Chadbourne. The visitor asked who they were and what connection they had to the parlor.

      I apologized for not knowing much about the family, only that the granddaughter had made financial contributions towards the furnishing of the room back in the 1950s. It was one of those situations where youíve seen something a hundred times but never really thought much about it. It turns out that the Prentice and the Crane families made many contributions to the history of Niagara County, and the Lockport area in particular.

      Even though the Victorian Parlor is also dedicated to Alonzo Prentice, it is necessary to start with his daughters and work backwards. In July 1849,

      Eliza Ann Prentice began a journal in the middle of her 16th year. Having a daughter the same age, I was curious how this young lady felt and reacted to events in her life.

      At the time she was living on Lagrange Street in Lockport with her parents and several siblings ranging in age from 2 to 24. Although her father owned a jewelry store, was a justice of the peace and a well-respected member of the community, she acknowledges in her first entry that she is ìdiscontentedî when she compares her situation to those of other schoolgirls ìwhose fathers are so much better off than mineî but quickly ìblushes with shameî when she admits that she has more than some of her neighbors.

      Eliza writes of many different friends but several of her closest soon moved away or died. One who died suddenly appears to have been Mr. Rose, her music teacher at the Union School, and she was devastated by his death. From her writing both before and after his tragic accident, you get the feeling that she may have had a crush on this particular teacher. On the day of his funeral, she wrote, ìour Union bell tolled Roseís knell.î (That bell now resides in the barn at the History Center, connecting us to an event that took place 168 years ago.) A few months later, in November, Eliza's best friend Hattie Parmelee married Landon Wright. They left for Illinois six months later.

      Eliza's journal is filled with accounts of sleepovers with friends, remarks about boys she didn't like (and a few she did), getting in trouble at school for talking when the class should have been studying, feeling a bit jealous when she thinks her sister Mary gets more attention than she does and, of course, comments about the weather. Two activities she writes about quite frequently, that some modern teens may not identify with, are going to church (sometimes twice on the Sabbath) and attending lyceums and concerts in the evenings. She often wrote accounts of sermons, musical pieces and lecture topics that she found particularly interesting.

      In the fall of 1851, the Prentice family moved from Lagrange Street to a new house on South Pine Street. Eliza laments leaving "that beautiful yard and garden, and those noble, tall, old trees" as well as "the old plum tree" where "friends' names [were] carved upon its aged trunk." Though she acknowledges the move to "this great, new house," she also comments on the fact that it has "not a tree near us" or "hardly a blade of grass."

      Two years later, Eliza writes that she is engaged to Nels, a longtime friend, then in 1857 she wrote, ìIím not engaged, and it is best, probably, that it is all over.î No reason is given for the breakup, but later that year when she learns he is to marry another, she confesses, ìMy romance never received a greater shock!î

      Later that year, 1857, Elizaís sister Mary wed Richard Crane, who was originally from Lockport, and later removed to Chicago. They had 10 children, seven of whom lived to adulthood. Circa 1863, Eliza moved to Chicago to help Mary with her growing family and to work as a public school teacher.

      In 1885, Mary died at the age of 50, leaving several minor children. Less than two years later, Eliza married Richard Crane and became stepmother to her nieces and nephews. The couple remained in Chicago and wintered in Pasadena, California.

      Eliza Prentice Crane died in Walworth, Wisconsin, in 1902 and is buried there with her husband, her sister Mary and three of Maryís children. The family connection to Wisconsin could not be determined since all of those buried there died elsewhere.

    32.250 Levi Wells Prentice, b. 18 Dec 1851, Harrisburg, Lewis Co., NY, and d. 28 Nov 1935 in Germantown, PA (per Ancestry.com . (Ref: family Bible in possession of Kevin Cassidy per his email of 17 Apr 2006). By email of 27 Apr 2004, Lois M. Wells advises that he was an American landscape and still-life painter. Lived in Buffalo, NY, & 1900 in Hawthorn, Passaic, NJ.

    1910, 1920 and 1930 census in Philadelphia, PA.

    By email of 17 Apr 2006, Kevin Cassidy advises that much information about Levi can be obtained from the curator of the Blue Lake Art Museum in NY as they have many of Levi's pastoral paintings, some of which were donated by Kevin's my mother, Adria, and perhaps Alberta.

    Levi m. Emma Roseloe Sparks in 1882 in Buffalo, NY. The 1930 Philadelphia calls her "Eva R. Prentice", b. c. 1 Jan 1850 in Tioga, Tioga Co., NY. She was the dau. of William and Sarah Sparks, both b. in England. By email of 14 Mar 2008, Bruce Prentice provides the following about Emma's paintings:

      Adirondack Landscape Painting by ìMrs Levi Wells Prenticeî

      This painting is signed "Mrs. LWP" and is in what appears to be its original frame. It is almost identical to the painting by Levi Wells Prentice titled "Adirondack Lake in Autumn," 10 x 8, which was offered for sale by Howard Godel in NYC at least 5 or 6 years ago (about 2002-2003).

      Many paintings from the Levi Wells Prentice estate come up for sale over the years. They usually turned up at Freeman's auction in Philadelphia. They reportedly came from the family. The author of the book, "Nature Staged," did not know of the existence of this painting when the book was published. She is now the curator for the Westmoreland Museum in Greensburg, Penn., near Pittsburgh.

      We can most likely conclude that Emma was not a professional painter. She may have studied briefly somewhere or with her husband, which was not unheard of for early women artists. Of course any of Emmaís paintings won't be worth anywhere near what LWP's are worth. There was a very large (24 x 36 approx.) LWP offered at the Palm Beach Art, Antique and Jewelry show in January 2008. It had a price of over $100,000.

    On the alarm being given in the Spring of 1775 of the apprehended attack on Concord by the British troops to destroy the stores collected there, he repaired there with his hired man; he arrived a few days before and was present at the battle of Lexington on April 18thwho furnished the men of Capt. Dow's company, of Hollis, NH, which company left Hollis 19 Apr 1775, the day after the Lexington fight and were at the Bunker Hill fight. He furnished their cartridge-boxes at 1s. 8d. each..

      "Voted, that Capt. Nath'l S. Prentice forthwith repair to Cambridge and carry the letter now prepared to Gen. Washington; and request of him to return the powder lent by this colony for the Continental army."

    In September, 1776 he was chosen Major of the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment, to re-enforce our army in New York. In July previous he was chosen one of the State committee of safety. He was stationed at White Plains, and was in that and other battles.

    33.4 Ellen E. Brooks, b. 1830. She m. George Franklin Wright (1833-1906). His biography is set out in A Biographical History of Pottawattamie Co., IA as follows:

      GEORGE FRANKLIN WRIGHT, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, was born in Warren, Washington County, Vermont, December 5, 1833, and was the eldest son of a family of four children, he alone surviving, of the late Franklin Asher Wright, born in Hanover, New Hampshire, September 17, 1801, died in Council Bluffs, October 5, 1876,---he was of English descent,---and of Caroline Susannah Wright, nee Tillotson, born in Berlin, Vermont, November 3, 1807. She was of Scotch and English parentage. They were married in Berlin, Vermont, February 27, 1833. Franklin A. Wright was the son of Asher Wright, of English descent, and of Irene Wright, nee Curtis, of English descent. Caroline S. Wright was a daughter of Samuel Tillotson, of English descent, and of Betsey Tillotson, nee Wallace, of Scotch descent.

      George F. Wright was reared and spent his boyhood on a farm in his native town, and in early life, when a mere boy, was by his father, whose large business interests required his continued absence from home, held largely responsible fore the successful carrying on and working of his farms, the labor of which was performed exclusively by hired help. This training, and the responsibility incident thereto, became in after years of great service to him when he became engrossed in the active operation of his own business career. At the age of seventeen he commenced his academic education at West Randolph, Vermont, under the tutorage of the late Hon. Austin Adams, of Dubuque, Iowa, who was twice Chief Justice of the State. During his academic training, teaching district school winters, as was customary with many New England boys, he completed his preparatory studies for, and one year of, his college course. He did not enter college, however; but the spring following his majority, in 1855, he came to Iowa and settled in Keosauqua, Van Buren County, when he at once commenced the study of the last with the law firm of Wright, Knapp & Caldwell, composed of ex-United States Senator George G. Wright, of Des Moines, the late Hon. Joseph C. Knapp, of Keosauqua, who was hi uncle, and his honor, Judge Henry C. Caldwell, of Little Rock Arkansas, now Circuit Judge for the Eighth Circuit of the United States. His law studies were pursued under the tutorage of Senator Wright, and as a member of a large class of law student then under his charge his advancement was such that he was admitted to the Van Buren County bar in 1857, Judge H. B. Hendershott then presiding judge of the District Court of said county. The same year, Senator Wright going upon the Supreme Bench of Iowa, George F., as he was familiarly known, was admitted to partnership with his uncle, Judge Knapp, and Judge Caldwell, under the firm name of Knapp, Caldwell & Wright, and so continued until Judge Caldwell was called to the bench at Little Rock. His education, founded in the old-fashioned New England schools, and in the old-fashioned New England ways, was rounded out under the training received from these eminent lawyers and jurists Aided by their ripe business experience, by his extensive acquaintance with business affairs, and with men of affairs, he became a good lawyer, as well as an active, presevering and successful business man. It was in this practical way that he acquired the educational elements which insured his success much more effectually than could have been attained by a university or college course or both combined.

      Early in 1861 he enlisted in response to President Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers, and in connection with Captain, afterward General, J. M. Tuttle, raised a company of volunteers in Van Buren County, of which he was elected the First Lieutenant, receiving his commission from the hands of Governor Kirkwood at Davenport, Iowa. His company rendezvoused at Keokuk, and after being some time in camp, the first call being full, the company was accepted in the second call for volunteers and became a part of the Second Regiment of Iowa Volunteers. Immediately before this occurred, Judge Caldwell having enlisted and having been elected Major of the Third Iowa Cavalry, the business of their firm demanded his return to Keosauqua. Immediately on his return he raised a company of State militia, was elected Captain thereof, and tendered the same to Governor Kirkwood for the protection of the Iowa border in Van Buren County. His company was accepted, was equipped with Springfield rifles and furnished with the necessary munitions of war. This organization was kept intact, being frequently called to the border and into the State of Missouri, until the rebels were driven out of that State, when most of his company enlisted in and became a part of the Fifteenth Regiment of Iowa Volunteers.

      On October 26, 1863, he was married in the city of Chicago, to Ellen E. Wright, nee Brooks, of Northfield, Vermont, born in Hancock, Vermont, September 21, 1830. She was the daughter of the late Josiah Prentice Brooks, born April 5, 1797, in Alstead, New Hampshire, died in Northfield, January 10, 1883, of English descent, and the late Betsey Parker Brooks, nee Robbins, born August 16, 1979, in Hancock, Vermont, died in Northfield, Vermont, November 4, 1885, and was of English descent.

      During their residence in Keosauqua there were born to them three sons, the oldest dying in infancy, and after their removal therefrom, two daughters, all now living, viz.: Franklin Prentice Wright, born March 2, 1866; George Spencer Wright, born January 21, 1868; Eliza Caroline Wright, born June 1, 1870; and Ellen Elizabeth Wright, born December 7, 1872.

      In the spring of 1868 he moved with his family to Council Bluffs and formed a law partnership with the late Judge Caleb Baldwin, and the law firm of Baldwin & Wright at once became one of the leading law firms of the State. The firm at once too high rank among the profession as practicing attorneys, and as the several railway companies representing the trunk lines made their termini in Council Bluffs, this firm became their local attorneys, and has ever since retained that relation toward them. This law connection continued up to the time when Judge Baldwin was appointed by President Grant as one of the Judges of the Court of Commissioners of Alabama claims, requiring his residence in the city of Washington, when the firm was dissolved.

      He then associated with himself Hon. Amos J. Rising, now Judge of the District Court of Arapahoe County, Denver, Colorado, and John N. Baldwin, Esq., the second son of the late Judge Caleb Baldwin. After several years of successful practice Judge Rising retired from the firm, removing to Colorado, and the firm became and has since remained as Wright & Baldwin, they having lately associated with themselves the two sons of Mr. Wright.

      He early identified himself with the politics of his county, the State and the nation, and has always been a stanch and active Republican, and for many years a leading worker in his party. Curing his residence in Van Buren County he was repeatedly tendered the nomination for member of the Legislature from that county, which was then equivalent to an election, but invariably declined the honor. In 1875 he was elected Senator from the Ninth Senatorial District of Iowa composed of the counties of Pottawattamie and Mills. After serving as Senator in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth General Assemblies he was again elected Senator, in 1879, in the Nineteenth Senatorial District of Iowa, comprising Pottawattamie County, his place of residence. He served as Senator of the Nineteenth District in the Eighteenth and the Nineteenth General Assemblies. During his Senatorial career, his reputation as a lawyer, and his energy and ability won for him substantial influence in that body. He was from the first a member of the Judiciary Committee, and being and earnest, industrious worker, he was enabled to prevent the enactment of many bad laws, as well as to aid the passage of good ones. He was ever vigilant and faithful to the trust imposed on him, never allowing personal feelings to swerve him from the path of duty and strict justice. He rendered the State and his constituency faithful and competent service, and in such manner as to reflect goo credit on himself and honor to his state.

      Soon after taking up his residence in Council Bluffs, he began to engage in active business affairs outside of his profession, and in 1870 and immediately following, he, with his associates, organized companies and constructed and put in successful operation large plats for the manufacture and supply of coal illuminating gas in the cities of Council Bluffs, Ottumwa, Mt. Pleasant, Cedar Rapids and Sioux City, in Iowa, and in the cities of Elgin and Evanston in Illinois. He was elected President of the Council Bluffs company, which position he held for over twenty years. In 1868 he, with Judge Baldwin and associates, constructed and operated the Council Bluffs Street Railway lines, the first street railway in Council Bluffs, and was the President of said company until it passed under the control of the Union Pacific Railway Company. In 1881 he was elected Secretary and Treasurer of the Union Elevator Company, of Council Bluffs, composed of six trunk line railway companies terminating therein, and had the supervision and construction of its Union Elevator building in said city, which has the largest capacity of an grain elevator west of the city of Chicago. In 1883, as one of the originators, in connection with his associates, he organized and put in successful operation the Nebraska & Iowa Fire Insurance Company, of Omaha, and at the same time organized and became president of the Iowa & Nebraska Fire Insurance Company, of Council Bluffs, Iowa, which in 1885 removed to Sioux City, Iowa, and is now knows as the Western Home Insurance Company of that place. He is still largely interested in both of said parties.

      In 1886, in connection with his associates, he organized the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway & Bridge Company, procured from Congress a franchise for a combined railway and wagon bridge across the Missouri River between the cities of Council Bluffs and Omaha; and during the next two years the Omaha & Council Bluffs Railway & Bridge Company, of which he was elected Secretary, erected one of the finest and most expensive steel bridges over said river, and in connection therewith constructed and put in successful operation over said bridge between said cities the first Electric Street Railway line ever constructed in the States of Iowa and Nebraska.

      In 1889, in connection with his associates, he organized a company and constructed and put in operation in the city of Ottawa, Illinois, the first Electric Street Railway ever constructed in said State.

      As a lawyer Mr. Wright is prominent, leading and able, never seeking to deceive court or jury, but in an open, manly, earnest contest endeavoring to secure the rights of his clients. Gifted with sound judgment, endowed with great, good common sense, and being a fine analyzer of character and the motives of men, he is ever ready to meet his adversary on compromise grounds, confident in his resources and ability to secure better results for his clients by negotiation than by prolonged and expensive litigation.

      As a business man, he is possessed of fine executive ability, is untiring and energetic, continually adding to the cares and burden of his life new enterprises, which by his continued activity and the vigor of his never faltering energy he pushes to successful proportions and satisfactory results.

      As a citizen, he is active, progressive, public-spirited and liberal, and since he came to Council Bluffs he has ever been loyal to her best material interests, advocating all measures that the best elements therein strove to establish. Of strict and upright manhood, he constantly labors for her welfare and is always found in the line of the best citizenship.

      As a friend, he is true, honest, faithful and sacrificing to all who show themselves worthy of his friendship, generous in his praises, slow in his criticisms, and happy in contributing to the wants and needs of his fellows. As a man, he as amiable, temperate, honorable, benevolent, just and upright, with fine literary tastes and broad culture.

    33.5 Nathaniel Sartell Prentice Banks, b. 30 Jan 1816 in Waltham, MA, and d. c. 1 Sep 1894. Bur in Grove Hill Cem., Waltham.

    He graduated from Harvard College in 1858 and then received his LL.D at Williams and Amherst in 1860. He was a member of Congress between 1853 and 1857, serving as Speaker of the House of Representatives from February 2, 1856 to March 3, 1857. A Wikipedia entry relates the following:

      "[After much contentious battle over slavery issues, N.P. Banks] was chosen on the 133rd ballot. This has been called the first national victory of the Republican party. He gave antislavery men important posts in Congress for the first time, and cooperated with investigations of both the Kansas conflict and the caning of Senator Charles Sumner. Yet he also left a legacy of fairness in his appointments and decisions. He played a key role in 1856 in bringing forward John C. FrÈmont as a moderate Republican presidential nominee. As a part of this process, Banks declined, as pre-arranged, the presidential nomination of those Know-Nothings, opposed to the spread of slavery, in favor of Republican FrÈmont."

    He was Governor of Massachusettes, elected by the Republican, from 1858 to 1860. In May 16, 1861 he was appointed Major General of Volunteers in the US Army. He served throughout the Civil War. A biographical sketch about his Civil War service is found at http://www.civilwarhome.com/banksbio.htm . It reads as follows:

      Of the 14 Union officers who received the Thanks of Congress during the Civil War, Nathaniel P. Banks was the least entitled. Serving under five different party labels during his political career, he rose from a childhood job in a cotton mill in his native Massachusetts-which earned him the nickname "Bobbin Boy"-to become speaker of the state legislature's lower house, U.S. congressman and just before the war, governor. As a political appointee, he was named a major general of volunteers. His field career was rather dismal but his appointment served its purpose in rallying support for the war effort.

      His assignments included: major general, usv (May 16, 1861); commanding division, Department of Annapolis (ca. May - June 11, 1861); commanding the department (June 11 - July 19,1861); commanding Department of the Shenandoah (July 25 - August 17, 1861); commanding division, Military District of the Potomac (August 17 - October 3, 1861); commanding division, Army of the Potomac (October 3,1861 - March 13, 1862); commanding 5th Corps, Army of the Potomac (March 13 - April 4, 1862); again commanding Department of the Shenandoah (April 4 - June 26, 1862); commanding 2nd Corps, Army of Virginia (June 26 - September 4, 1862); commanding Military District of Washington, Army of the Potomac (September 7 - October 27, 1862); commanding 19th Corps, Department of the Gulf (December 16, 1862 - August 20, 1863); commanding the department (December 17, 1862-September 23, 1864 and April 22 - June 3, 1865).

      With no prior military experience, he was in divisional and departmental command near Washington early in the war. In the Shenandoah Valley he was routed by Stonewall Jackson and due to his tremendous loss of supplies was dubbed "Commissary Banks" by the Confederates.

      As part of Pope's army, he was again defeated at Cedar Mountain by Jackson and was at 2nd Bull Run. After a brief stint in the capital's defenses he went to New Orleans to replace Benjamin F. Butler. His operations against Port Hudson met with several bloody repulses but the place eventually fell after the surrender of Vicksburg made it untenable.

      For obvious political reasons, Congress awarded a resolution of thanks to one of its former members. Remaining in the Gulf area, he led the dismal Red River Campaign of 1864 and was then for a time without a command. With hostilities virtually over, be was returned to command but was mustered out on August 24, 1865.

      Continuing his political career, until 1890, he served in Congress, the state senate, and as a U.S. Marshal. Congress awarded him a $1,200 annual pension. (Harrington, Fred Harvey, Fighting Politician: Major General N. P. Banks) Source: "Who Was Who In The Civil War" by Stewart Sifakis

    Nathaniel again served as a member of Contress 1865-73, 1875-77. Tom Gede's email of 9 May 2006 relates that in Nathaniel's second round in the Congress, after the war, he played a key role in the final passage of the Alaska Purchase legislation and that his record as a politician was more distinguished than that as a general. After his re-election was ended in 1868 Pres. Rutherford B. Hayes appointed Banks U.S.Marshall for the Boston district. He held the post for 10 years, even during the Democratic administration.

    In 1888 he again ran for Congress. The 5th district now included Waltham, and he ran as a Republican. He beat the Democrat in November. Banks could no longer give a coherent speech and contented himself with voting with the party. In 1890 he lost at the convention. He probably had developed Alzheimer's disease.

    On December 26, 1893 he was found wandering around Lynn, 20 miles from his home. The police returned him. He was then placed in the McLean Asylum for the Insane. r

Kidd's money,' but it did not amount to much. When I was in Grafton, last year, I was surprised that so many of their descendants living nearshould have neglected to place a marble slab, or monument, over the remains of our respected grandparents, [Rev. Solomon and wife.] I will do something towards it."

    38. Mary Prentice, dau. of Rev. Solomon and Sarah; was m. by her father in Hull, MA to Amos Binney Jr. (son of Capt. Amos Binneybook. and descendant of John Binney who came from Worksop, or Hull, England and settled in Hull, MA about 1679-80.

    Amos Binney and wife lived in the old house in Hull which was owned from 1852-82 by Mr. Pope, the postmaster, who still lived there in 1882, and it was then still a good house, though very old. It was built of oak, beams project half through the ceilings, and probably built before 1700. When the British fleet was in Nantasket roads, and blockaded Boston, owing to the exposed and nearly isolated situation of Hull, the inhabitants were obliged to leave their homes and property, except what they could hurriedly take with them, and quit the place, by order of the American general.

    Amos and Mary, with their mother and his children, Nancy, the youngest, then an infant, went in a boat, passing near a British man-of-war. The small boat, loaded nearly to the gunwales, touched at Hingham, but, that town being full, they proceeded to Weymouth, MA where they lived till the fleet sailed.

    Amos returned to fetch off his flocks, and while going to Pettix Island with his brother, Spencer Binney, they were captured and taken aboard the British vessel, until Mr. Haswell, a lieutenant of the British marine service (then remaining in Hull, and father of the celebrated authoress and teacher, Mrs. Susanna Rowson) came and interceded with the commander of the ship who was a friend of his. He was told that Mr. Binney was one of the selectmen of the town and had a family dependent upon him. He was called, and being dressed in his working suit, the officers laughed at the appearance of the "selectman" and dismissed him, but kept Spencer until Amos redeemed him with fourteen sheep.

    On the return of the inhabitants they found their houses plundered of every moveable thing. The town suffered also from the French troops, landed there to recruit, and from the American troops also. Many

    Page 39

    of the gravestones were used by the French for bottoms of their ovens, for laundry purposes, and many broken.

    Mary (Prentice) Binney was an excellent woman, pious, industrious, active and energetic, and of a good education for those times. She had to support her family from a small farm and her own exertions, but found time to educate her own and other children. When her sons, Amos and John, had gone into business in Boston, she lived with one of them, and died at the home of her son, Col. Amos Binney, on 13 May 1813, age 62. She had light hair. One Sunday, alone in the house, she discovered a robber stealing silver; she raised an alarm and pursued him; he threw the silver into a ditch and escaped.

    In 1840, Mr. Binney, compiler of 1st Edition of this book, removed her remains from the family tomb, Copps Hill in Boston, and those of his mother from Wiscasset, ME and all of his father's family and took them to his family lot, Nol. 681 Yarrow Path, Mt.

	financial aid of "Billy Gray", to fit out the vessels of our navy from Boston, and the
	"Constitution," under Commodore Hull, "Old Ironsides," in season to capture the
	"Guerriere."   He did much to develop the mineral resources of New England.  Was
	president of the Boston and Worcester RR, and of the Market Bank.  At a large fire, by
	purchasing bales of blankets kept wet, he preserved Joy's Building, for which a 
	service of 
	plate was given him.  He died in Boston, at his home, 11 Jan 1838, age 55.  The family
	has an excellent oil portrait of him.  A copy of his portrait, also by Harding, was 
	in the Willbraham Academy, in the chapel of which was a tablet to Mr. Binney's memory, 
	he having been a benefactor to that institution. Amos and Mary left five children; six 
	others died young.  Dr. Amos Binney, his son, graduated Brown University, 1821, was

      Note: Binney's 1883 Edition had a note that Samuel Prentice brought up the children of John and Rebecca Prentice and had them baptized 31 May 1767 in Menotomy. Binney thought John was #6iv on pg. 6, son of Thomas Prentice (#6, pg. 6) and Mary Batson.

        Prentice, Ann Helen: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice, Orange County Register, The (Santa Ana, CA) - Thursday, October 1, 2009

        Ann Helen Prentice, 95, passed away as gracefully as she lived on 9/27/09. She died from natural aging at her home in Anaheim, where she had lived for 94 years.

        Ann came to Anaheim from Texas with her parents, Fred and Minnie Meier and her two brothers, Harry and Herbie in 1914. She lived on their orange farm at Sunkist and Lincoln Aves., attending Lincoln El., Fremont Jr., and Anaheim High schools.

        In 1932 she married Charles Hill with whom she built a home on So. Helena St., and had 2 sons, Charles and Robert.

        Following her husband Charles' death she married Samuel Prentice, Sr. in 1945 with whom she had a son, Sam Jr. She worked in business offices for Hunt Foods, MCP, and Johnston Gendel Clinic, and Leonard & Gibson, MDs until she retired in 1979.

        Following her husband, Samuel's death in 1963 she married childhood friend, Earnest Dargatz and moved to So. Reseda St. where she remained following his death in 1988. She was an active life- long member of Zion Lutheran Church and also attended events at Bethel Baptist. She enjoyed traveling within and outside the US with the church and her friends, and to see her grandchildren. Upon retirement she became active in the downtown Anaheim Senior Center, serving as Membership Secretary, and loved attending the dances until she was 90 and the luncheons until recently. She was delightful, loving, gracious and friendly to all who met her, and when asked how she came to be that way, she said, "I've had some difficult times, but all-in-all, God has really blessed me."

        Ann is survived by her son and wife, Bob and Cathy; son, Sam; grandchildren, Beverly, Steve, Joy, Ann, Sam III; and 8 great-grandchildren.

    47. Henry Prentiss, (#18) b. c. 1731-32, MA, son of Henry Prentice and Katherine Fitch. He m. Mary Walker 16 Oct 1752, Cambridge, and probably moved to Shrewsbury, MA.

    It has been suggested, however, that Henry and Katherine did not have a son named Henry, and that this is the same Henry and that he married, as a second wife, Mary Walker. By email of 17 Oct 2001, Toni Benson has provided an excerpt from the "History of Cambridge, Massachusetts" by Lucius R. Paige. In the biographical section of this book, page 632 is as follows:

      Henry [Prentice], s. of Thomas (10), m. Katherine Felch 31 Jan. 1728-9, and had Mary, b. 19 Oct. 1729, m. Moses Richardson before 1755, and d. 10 Mar 1812, a. 82; Henry the f. was a currier, and resided on the easterly side of Mason Street, near the Common.

      He is styled "junior" on the records, with reference to Deacon Henry Prentice, who was about a dozen years his senior. He rem. to Shrewsbury, which is named as his residence 1771, in the Will of his brother William. He was probably the same [Henry, #18, above] who m. Mary Walker 16 Oct. 1752 (still styled "junior," Deacon Prentice being yet alive), and had John, b. 27 Jul 1753; Thomas, b. 27 May 1755; Jerusha, b. 17 Oct. 1757; William, b. 12 Sept. 1760; Samuel, b. 10 Jun 1763; the last named is recorded as son of Henry Prentice of Shrewsbury. It appears probably that he subsequently returned, as a Henry prentice d. here, 23 Aug 1787, said to be a. 82, which very nearly corresponds with his age. (emphasis added)

    In any event, whether he is the #18 Henry or a son of #18 also named Henry, the known children of Henry and Mary Walker are:

    1. John Prentiss, b. 27 Jul 1753, Cambridge, MA. . . . . . . [96]
    2. Thomas Prentiss, b. 29 May 1755. . . . . . . . [97]
    3. Jerusha Prentiss, b. 17 Oct 1757.. . . . . . . . [97.5]
    4. William Prentiss, b. 12 Sep 1760. . . . . . . . [98]
    5. Samuel Prentiss, b. 10 Jun 1763. He served in the Revolutionary War and afterwards moved, with his brother in law, Luke Hitchcock, husband of Jerusha, #97.5 , to St. Armand, Quebec, where he died.

    For a possible 6th child, see "Robert Prentice of Winchester, NH" in our section listing Prentices whose immigrant ancestor is not yet known.

    52. Joshua Prentiss Jr., b. 9 Sep 1744, Lieutenant, son of Rev. Joshua and Mary, #21. Joshua was a merchant there, sold out for Continental money, which depreciated and he lost the whole. Joshua moved to Marblehead in 1762; he also owned fishing vessels.

    He served eight months in Cambridge in Capt. John Merritt's company from Marblehead in the Revolutionary army, for which he later received a pension. He was surveyor and inspector of the port of Marblehead from the establishment of the office in 1804 and for twenty-five years after, till 1829, when old age prevented his attention to business. He was representative to the State Legislature, 1810; town clerk over thirty hears. During the Revolutionary War he removed his family from Marblehead to Andover, MA for safety.

    He was of a lively disposition, full of jokes and fun, and highly respected. His son, Caleb Prentiss of Danvers, MA had his commission dated 12 Feb 1773 as lieutenant in the military foot company, in Marblehead, under Capt. Thos. Pedrick, signed by Gov. Hutchinson, Commander-in-Chief of Massachusetts Bay Province, with the seal of England, 13th of George IV., attached, and his commission as surveyor and inspector, 1804, by Thomas Jefferson, President, and one of a renewal by President Monroe, 1821, and President Jackson's renewal of it, 1829, and his commission as justice of the peace by Gov. Caleb Strong, of Massachusetts, 1802 and 1816.; by Gov. Brooks, 1823; and by Gov. Lincoln, 1830.

    By a fire in the woods his hair was burned off when fourteen years old; it never grew again, and he sent to England for a wig, at a cost of $100, a present from his friends, and is shown on the portrait of him on page 102 of the "Genealogy," first edition, of the Prentice family.and importance. The profile portrait of him depicts regular features with a somewhat hooked thin nose and with the area between the nose and chin being slightly concave. He ia wearing a dark coat which mostly conceals a white scarf about his neck. His wig is dark in color, covers the ear and generally ends at the rear collar but with a pony tail extending further downward an additional six to eight inches. His age appears to be about 40-45.

    He died in Marblehead 22 Jun 1837, age 92 years, 9 months, and 24 days.

    Joshua married, first, Grace Bubier of Marblehead, MA who d. Oct. 1789, age 46, perhaps in child birth. She was the dau. of Christopher Bubier and Margaret le Vallier.

    Dr. Prentiss spent his youth with his grandparents Angier of Cambridge, MA. After taking his bachelor degree at Harvard, he taught school for a year at Berwick, ME and studied medicine there, acquiring medical knowledge to enable him to minister successfully to the bodies as well as souls of his future parishioners.

    Returning to Cambridge, he studied theology with his father and was ordained 30 Nov 1770 at the age of twenty-three as pastor of the church at Medfield, MA. A town meeting was called there 3 Apr 1770, with religious services, and a committee raised to unite with the church. The town voted him L160 as an encouragement, and a salary of L71 9s. 4d. a year. His letter of acceptance of 26 Aug 1770 is preserved.

    During the Revolutionary war he was chaplain to our forces in Roxbury.

    He possessed a vigorous constitution, with good health, till the disease which terminated his life, congestion of the lungs, from a cold taken by exposure in a violent snow-storm in visiting a sick family in a neighboring town. In the full exercise of his reason, sensible of his approaching dissolution, he was calm, submissive, and full of hope, and said:

      "I have viewed this as my closing sickness from its commencement. reconciled to the will of god and supported by the promises of the gospel, the question of life or death is not for me to decide. I know not what is for the best. I give myself no anxiety on the subject. The Judge of all the earth will do right. I have perfect confidence in Him, and willing to leave the decision to Him."
    Thomas died in peace and confidence of a better life, after five days' illness, on 28 Feb 1814, age 66. His funeral sermon, by Rev. Joshua Bates of Dedham, was published and says:

      "If any of the followers of Adam ever attained a state of perfect holiness below the heavens, I should have believed that our deceased friend was one of the highly privileged number."

    Rev. Thomas Prentiss was public-spirited and manly. By his individual exertions he established a public library in Medfield, and active in temperance reform. To help support his family, he took lads in his family to fit for college. He was a member of many societies. In his old age his hair, white as snow, was in long, natural curls on his shoulders; his widow's hair at her death was jet black. Children:

	from guile; his life represented the beauty of truth.  He was compelled to teach
	while studying his profession.  His short life had been full of example, pure of heart,
	and of irreproachable character."

    Page 53 54. Henry Prentiss, Capt., b. 7 Mar 1749, son of Rev. Joshua Prentiss and Mary Angier; he married on 11 Sep 1775 Ruth Freeman, dau. of Capt. Jonathan Freeman. She was b. 24 Nov 1754 and d. 6 Jan 1800. He died in Medfield, MA on 31 Aug 1821 in his 73rd year. His remains were buried in King's Chapel burial-ground, Boston.

    His name, as captain in the Revolutionary war, is on those rolls at State House, Boston, from 1775 to 1780; stationed at Cambridge, Long Island, and crossed the Delaware River at Trenton. He was prominent in Boston as selectman, overseer of the poor, March, 1784; in 1785, taxed in Boston, for real estate, $250, shop, goods, etc. per Boston Taking Book, 1785.

    He was a member of Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, 1786, and one of the memorable "Boston tea party" in 1773; was once a sea-captain. His firm of Prentiss & Skinner, merchants, Boston, was prosperous, but Mr. Skinner, an Englishman, took advantage of his confidence to defraud him of his property. He resided afterwards (except about a year in Marblehead) with his friends in Medfield.

    His stone house, 97 Hanover Street, was one of the first stone ones in Boston. Henry and his brother, Appleton, were both merchants in Boston, and probably, at one time together, before 1790.

    They were the first ones who introduced printing calico in New England, a coarse blue and red article, on India cotton, a specimen of which H. J. Prentiss gave Mr. Binney, cut from a quilt made by a sister of Appleton Prentiss over fifty years previous to 1852. A specimen of the calico was exhibited by Abbott Lawrence, Esq., at the fair and exhibition in Washington previous to 1852, in contrast to the prints of later times and was placed in the Patent Office there. Their print shop was at the corner of Botolph Street, Boston, and standing in 1852.

    He resided then also at the beautiful Fresh Pond Estate (per Henry J. Prentiss, printer, Boston), formerly Dea. Henry Prentice's which Henry and Appleton Prentiss bought. He bought out Appleton's part, and spent his leisure in horticulture. His crew, in 1789, had made in Liverpool and gave him a beautiful blue and gilt pitcher, with "Success to Henry Prentiss"†on it in gilt letters.

    A good portrait of him, in 1791, in the costume of that time, said to have been painted by a fellow-collegian, was, in 1852, owned by his daughter, Miss Eliza F. Prentiss, Cambridge, then the only survivor of his family. A copy on pg. 110 of the first edition of this book shows him at age 42, a pleasant appearing man with regular features, with somewhat thinning hair in a George-Washington-type hair style and wearing a dark coat with a ruffled white shirt.

    At one time he lost many melons, taken by Harvard students; one year he inserted in some them strong doses of tartar emetic. Next day an express from college requested his presence, as some of the students were very sick and he knew diseases. He asked the symptoms and if they threw up melon seeds. He told the students the melons were of a peculiar, unwholesome kind, steeped in West India poison for thieves! He gave them medicine and told the Faculty of the cause.

    The ancient clock in the old Prentice house, Cambridge (of Henry Prentice, brick-maker, about forty rods north of the Washington Elm), may have belonged to this Henry Prentiss and came through his wife Freeman.

    56.10 Isaac Prentice, b. 2 May 1783 per C. J. F. Binney, Prentice Genealogy, 1883, pg. 55, #56(ii). Binney says Isaac d. 10 Jan 1799. However, Bernie Boylan's letter of 8 May 2003 says that Isaac m. and moved to VT. Further investigtion is needed to know when and where Isaac died. In any event, Bernie Boylan also said that Isaac had a son:

    1. Isaac Prentice, b. 30 Jan 1803, somewhere in VT. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [56.20]

    56.20 Isaac Prentice is tentatively identified as the Isaac Prentice who was was born 30 Jan 1803 somewhere in Vermont and both of his parents were born in MA (per 1880 Solon, Kent Co., MI census). He was a farmer. We do not know for sure, but it may be that Isaac, his parents and his siblings may have lived for a time in Canada. We know Isaac lived in Canada in 1830 and 1832 from the places of his marriage and birth of his oldest son, Chester. He then returned to Vermont before August, 1834 (see below).

    Isaac married Mary/Maria) Martin about 1830 in Canada when he was about 27 years of age. She was born in 1812 in Canada, as were both of her parents (per 1880 census). Children of Isaac and Mary:

    1. Chester Prentice, b. 1832, Canada. 1860 in Blue, Jackson Co., MO. He does not appear in the 1880 US or 1881 Canadian census.
    2. Mary Prentice, b. 14 Aug 1834 in Vermont. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [56.30]

    5. Alvira Prentice, b. 1843 in Ohio (or maybe MI: see Update, below). 1850 at home in Eaton, Eaton Co., MI. She is likely the Alvira A. Prentice who m. Samuel C. Hoyle on 2 Jan 1861, At gattan, Kent MI.
    6. Wesley Prentice, b. 1845 in Ohio. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [56.50]
    7. Harriet Prentice, b. 21 Apr 1847 in Ceder Springs, Kent, MI, and d. 8 Jun 1940, Waterford, Oakland Co., MI. 1850, 1860 at home. She m. Ambose H. Rounds. He d. bef. 1940. 1900 in Riverside, Missaukee Co., MI. Children per 1900 census:
      1. Jennie Rounds 33
      2. Charles Rounds 17
    8. Marvin Obadiah Prentice, b. 12 Jul 1850 in Michigan. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [56.60]
    9. Amanda Prentice, b. c. 1858. She m. John Darland. He was b. c. 1851, Canada, as were both his parents (per 1880 census, Solon, Kent, MI). Children:
      1. Willett Darland, b. c. 1875, MI

      Note: The 1850 Vermont census has an ISAAC PRENTICE, farmer, b. c. 1833 in the State of New York, and living in Milton, Chittenden Co., VT. He did not appear in the 1880 census, either missed or perhaps living in another State. It is unclear if he is a son of the 1803 ISAAC who was apparently living in Michigan in 1850, presumably with all his family.

      The 1900 VT census has an ISAAC PRENTICE, b. Sep 1831 in Canada and living in Worcester, Washington Co., VT. His father was also born in Canada and his mother in England. The 1803 ISAAC apparently was living in Canada in 1832 when his son, CHESTER, was born. This ISAAC was born in 1831.

      There is a reasonable possibility that the 1831 ISAAC might be a son of the 1803 Isaac since parents often name a son after the father.

    58. Caleb Prentiss Jr., Reverend, b. 14 Feb. 1746 and d. 7 Feb 1803 at the age of 57. Harvard College, 2765. After graduating, he was for several years librarian of the college library; was ordained 25 Oct 1769, pastor of the First Church in Reading (later Wakefield) MA and remained pastor until his death from consumption in 1803 and was buried in the burying-ground adjoining the meeting-house, still standing in 1883.

    At the Lexington alarm, he turned out with his musket and was in the running fight from Lexington to Charlestown. On the route he took from a dead British pioneer his gun and sword, one side of which was a pioneer's saw, which were long preserved in the family. He also marched to Salem with the militia on the alarm of the British landing there to seize arms.

    To help support his family, he took pupils into his house to educate. He was a good horticulturist; the old parsonage house, standing in 1883, had a smooth lawn in front, and a large and well-kept garden, and in the center an ample summer-house.

    Binney had several of his manuscript sermons and his almanac-diary for 1780. The American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, had several of his published sermons and several also were in the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society, Boston.

    His portrait on pg. 115 of the first edition of this book shows a man in his 30s with a prominent hawk-like nose and very high forehead with receding long dark hair.

    He m Pamela Mellen on 1 Jan 1771, dau. of Rev. John Mellen of Lancaster, MA. She was the dau. of Rev. John Mellen of Lancaster, MA, and a granddaughter of Rev. John Prentiss of Lancaster, MA (#6 in our Thomas Prentice eBook)

      >Note: Binney's 1883 PRENTICE book said that the marriage was, "thus uniting the Newton and Cambridge branches of the family." He erred. They are an unrelated Prentice family having different roots in England.

    After his death 7 Feb 1803 at the age of 57, his widow, Pamela, m. Col. John Waldron of Dover, NH, 14 Sep 1809, Wakefield; an officer in the Revolution army and State Senator. She d.

	The fire occurred the afternoon and evening of Sunday, 24 Aug 1873.  The fire began 
	about two o'clock, in a wooden building on Haraden's Wharf, at the foot of Main 
	Street, and soon raged unchecked and driven by a fierce gale of wind from the north 
	which hurled cinders and blazing shingles in its course.
	About six o'clock, the danger was over, although large deposits of coal, corn and 
	other merchandise were still burning.  The disaster area exceeded twenty acres and 
	covered half a mile.  Eighty-six buildings and blocks were destroyed, fifty-three of 
	which were dwellings, leaving seventy-five families homeless.  Twenty business 
	firms, occupying the largest warehouses in the city, were burned.  One vessel upon 
	the stocks was burned, a brig of five hundred tons, partially completed in the 
	shipyard of C.P. Carter & Company.  Only one life was lost, that of Rebecca 
	Prentiss, the day before her 79th birthday.

    She m. 2nd John C. Cunningham, the widowed husband of Susan's sister, Ann. John was b. c. 1800 in NH and d. c. 1864 in Bastrop, TX. The following additional information is posed by Barbara Cheesebrough on 9 Apr 2004 at Ancestry.com :

      Here is a little more information regarding my second great grandparents. John Cunningham's middle initial is C instead of S. He was awarded a Spanish land grant on April 6, 1831 for one league of land, three quarters of which was located in Bastrop County, Texas, and one quarter in Fayette County, Texas. It showed his name as John C. Cunningham. The 1850 census of Bastrop County, Texas, shows his name as John C. Cunningham. On his widow, Susan's gravemarker, it shows her second husband was John C. Cunningham. In the Probate Records of Bastrop County, Texas, 4th September 1874 John is listed as John C. Cunningham, deceased. I visited the Cunningham Cemetery which is located near Winchester, Texas. I couldn't find the grave marker for John C. Cunningham, but did find Susan's marker, as well as that of their son and my great grandfather, John Prentice Cunningham.

      Susan Prentice was married first to William Redfield. They had three sons, then were divorced. Susan's sister Ann was married to John C. Cunningham. After the death of Ann, John Cunningham married Susan, who was divorced with three sons. I haven't yet found a marriage date for them. My uncle, Lucius Halbert, who lived to be 100 years old, told me about John Cunningham marrying a divorced woman who had three sons.

    In 1823, with his son, Jonathan, Henry Prentice started on foot from Hancock, NH for the new country located in the western portion of the New York, 500 miles distant. Henry Prentice selected his future home in Steuben County,. It had an almost inexhaustible supply of timber; the town had then but ten or twelve families.

    After securing a Deed, they returned to NH; next Spring, his sons, Jonathan and William, returned to NY in a horse and wagon, and build a log-house near a spring of water in the woods, the floor of split logs, with a bark roof; a fireplace of stones, a hole in the roof for the escape of smoke; a log hewn to a slab, supported by pins driven in the ground, was their table; their bedstead supported by the sides of the house and one leg in front, and poles for a mattress. A barrel of pork and one of meal, and a few pounds of meat hauled from Bath, twenty miles, were their larder. They baked their hoecake of corn mean on a slab before the fire; their plates of wood, knives and forks from their pockets.

    With sharp axes they cleared the forest, chopped, cleared and fenced, and put in wheat, ten acres of land, pasturing their one old horse, which did their work, a mile from home. Late in the autumn they sold their horse, and under the cabin floor buried deep the half-bushel potatoes they had raised.

    A Widow Whittemore was the attraction which kept William behind, and in a few years he married her. Jonathan returned on foot to NH to give an account of their future home. In the Spring of 1825, they all moved, Jonathan leading, in a two-horse wagon, with the five girls, the father and mother following in a one-horse wagon. They took their household goods. One daughter was so frail they were anxious for her, fearing consumption, but the journey restored her and she lived to a good old age. They stopped for a time in Bath, the county seat.

    69. Sartell Prentice was b. 27 Oct 1767, Grafton, MA, and d. 25 Oct 1849, Mt. Hope, Albany, NY at the age of 82. He was the son of Nathaniel Sartell and Martha.

    He m. 1794, Jemima Parmalee, daughter of Ezra and Sybil (Hill) Parmalee of Newport, NH, who were natives of Killinworth, CT. Jemima was b. c.23 or 25 Feb 1773, Newport, NH and d. 19 Nov 1865, Brooklyn, NYC, NY, age 92. An Ancestor Chart for Jemima can be found at Ancestry.com .

    Sartell and Jemima moved to Newport, NH, her birthplace, then a wilderness. They helped to establish a church there, of which they were active members, and also a school. Their house was distinguished for intelligence, order, hospitality and religion. In 1808 Jemima joined the Congregational Church in Alstead, NH and remained till 1816, then joined the Presbyterian Church in Canton, NY, to which they moved.

    Sartell was for many years a merchant in the fur trade. In 1838 he and his wife and daughter, Lucy C., moved to Albany, NY and passed the remainder of his days with his son, Ezra P. Prentice, at "Mount Hope", the latter's fine residence. He often visited his relatives in Boston: one of them said, "He resembled Rev. Solomon Prentice, having the true Prentice Roman nose." Hisson, Ezra, had a fine portrait of him, a good lithographic copy of which is on pg. 37 of the first, 1852, edition of this work with his father's autograph. His son, John H. Prentice, had a perfect bust figurehead of Sartell Prentice for the ship, "Prentice". Sartell was highly appreciated by all, was energetic and influential, pious and good.

    In 1835 they had moved to Albany NY where she joined the Second Presbyterian Church, and soon after her husband also joined. In 1852, 3 years after her husband's death, she moved to Brooklyn, NY to live with her children, and joined the Reformed Dutch Church there, and when Dr. Bethune, the pastor, move to New York, she joined his church there; afterwards she joined the Cong. Church in Brooklyn until her deafness compelled her to remain at home. Her late pastor, Dr. Storrs, delivered an impressive address on her death; she was buried in Albany beside her husband.

    An excellent, and detailed, biography about Sartell and Jemima and their descendants can be found in a book entitled "Saga of 1 Grace Court" by Martha Prentice Strong, privately printed in 1946 by The William Byrd Press of Richmond, VA., pages 57 to 79.

          ". . . Thomas Brackett Reed, Jr., [was] the 36th and again the 38th Speaker of the House of Representatives, off and on from 1889 to 1899, and under whom the power of the Speaker was greatly augmented.

          Wikipedia notes: "'Czar Reed,' as he was called by his opponents, sought to end the obstruction of bills by the minority, in particular by countering the tactic known as the 'disappearing quorum.' By refusing to vote on a motion, the minority could ensure that a quorum would not be achieved, and that the result would be invalid. Reed, however, declared that members who were in the chamber but refused to vote would still count for the purposes of determining a quorum. Through these and other rulings, Reed ensured that the Democrats could not block the Republican agenda."

      Henry Prentiss Armsby, Ph.B. 1874, Born September 21, 1853, in Whitinsville, MA, and d. October 19, 1921, at State College, PA.

      Henry Prentiss Armsby was born September 21, 1853, in Whitinsville, Mass., the son of Lewis Armsby, a pattern maker with the firm of P. Whitin & Sons, and Mary Ann (Prentiss) Armsby. His father was the son of Joshua Armsby, Jr., and Martha (McClellan) Armsby, and a descendant of Enos Armsby, who settled at Sutton, Mass., in 1786. The Prentiss family lived at Northbndge, Mass.

      Henry Armsby received his early education at the high school in Millbury, Mass., and then studied at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where he was graduated with the degree of B.S. in 1871. He remained there for another year as an assistant in chemistry, and then entered the Sheffield Scientific School at Yale, taking the chemistry course.

      He was a teacher of natural science at the Fitchburg (Mass.) High School during 1874-75, spent the following year at the University of Leipsic, and then served for a year as an assistant in chemistry at Rutgers College. From 1877 to 1881 he was connected with the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station as a chemist, after which he served for two years as vice-principal of the Storrs Agricultural School (now the Connecticut Agricultural College). He then spent four years as professor of agricultural chemistry and associate director of the Experiment Station at the University of Wisconsin. In 1887 he became director of the Agricultural Experiment Station at the Pennsylvania State College, and served in this capacity for the next twenty years, from 1890 to 1902 also being dean of the School of Agriculture. In 1907 he resigned to devote himself exclusively to research, and at that time was placed in charge of the Institute of Animal Nutrition which had just been established at the college. He continued to serve as its director and as professor of animal nutrition until his death. While serving as director of the Experiment Station at the college, Dr Armsby designed and had constructed a respiration calorimeter for the purpose of testing the nutriment values of various foodstuffs on animals, the first of its kind in the world, and the only one of its kind in this country. The United States Department of Agriculture, with which he had been connected as an expert since 1898, aided him with its construction.

      Dr. Armsby was chairman of the committee on cooperative experiment station exhibits and a member of the committee on dairy tests at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893 and at the Paris Exposition in 1900. He had served as president of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations (1898-99), the Society for the Promotion of Agricultural Science (1905-07), and the American Society of Animal Nutrition (1908-1911). He was a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the American Chemical Society, the American Physiological Society, and the American Society of Biological Chemists (on whose council he served in 1907), and a foreign member of the Royal Academy of Agriculture of Sweden. He became a member of the National Academy of Science in April, 1920. In 1917 he was appointed a member of the committee on agriculture of the National Research Council, and the next year served on the Inter-Allied Scientific Food Commission.

      For six months before his death he had been actively engaged in making plans for the greatest research nutrition investigation ever undertaken, and in that connection spent much time in Washington in the spring and summer of 1921. He had contributed numerous scientific articles to various journals, and was the author of A Manual of Cattle Feeding (1880), The Farmers' Annual Handbook (with E. H. Jenkins, '72; 1882-83), Principles of Animal Nutrition (1903), and "The Nutrition of Farm Animals (1917). He received the degree of Ph.D. at Yale in 1879, after a year of graduate study in the Sheffield Scientific School [while he was connected with the Connecticut Agricultural College], and in 1920 Yale conferred the honorary degree of Sc.D. upon him. The Worcester Polytechnic Institute gave him the same degree in 1921, and the University of Wisconsin that of LL.D. in 1904. He had been a member of Congregational churches in Millbury, Mass., and Madison, Wis., serving as a deacon of the latter church in 1880-81, but since 1910 had belonged to St. Andrew's Mission (Protestant Episcopal) at State College, of which he was for several years a vestryman.

      He died at State College, October 19, 1921, of cerebral hemorrhage, after an illness of five weeks. He was taken ill early in September and was granted a leave of absence to enable him to regain his health. He had planned to go South, but his condition did not improve sufficiently to permit the journey He was buried in Pine Hall Cemetery at State College.

      Dr Armsby was married October 15, 1878, in Millbury, to Lucy Atwood, daughter of Charles Lee and Betsy (Atwood) Harding. She survives him with their five sons, Charles Lewis, Ernest Harding, Sidney Prentiss, Henry Horton, and Edward McClellan The sons are all graduates of Pennsylvania State College, having received the degree of B.S. there in 1904, 1905, 1910, 1911, and 1913, respectively.

    78a. Lorenzo Prentice Blood, son of Hannah Prentice Chase and Noah Blood. He m. Margaret Grant Thompson. The following biographical material comes from "Life Sketches of Leading Citizens of Middlesex County, Massachusetts 1898 Biographical Review Publishing Company - Boston"

    Lorenzo Prentice Blood, a well-known educator and thehistorian of Pepperell, was born in this town July 25, 1824, son of Noah Blood and his wife, Hannah Prentice(Chase) Blood. His first American ancestor on hisfather's side was James Blood, who settled in CharlestownMass., in 1630, and afterward removed to Concord, Mass.,

    He is said to have been a brother of the notorious Colonel John Blood of Cromwell's time. Richard, son of James, was one of the first proprietor's of Groton, Mass. James Blood, second, son of Richard, settled upon a part of the paternal estate. He was killed by the Indians September 13, 1692. John Blood, son of James, second, lived in Groton. He was the father of nine children, of whom the eldest, John Blood Jr. settled in Groton,West Parish (now Pepperell) locating about one mile west of the centre. His eldest son, John 3rd, succeeded to the homestead. His youngest son, Edmund, served on board the brigantine "Hague" under Commodore Manley, during theRevolutionary War. He owned a farm near the paternal homestead, where he was engaged in farming during the active period of his life. He married his 2nd wife when he was over seventy years old, and by that union had one son, Edmund H. N. Blood, who lived on the homestead atthe age of 62 years.

    John Blood, grandfather of the subject of this sketch, married Olive Ball of Townsend, a memorial of whose family has been prepared and issued. He had four children John, Noah , Olive and Rebecca. John inherited the home farm. He married Susan Jewett and by her had six children: Susan M., John Eliab, Henry H, Lucy Jane, Andrew J.,and James H. Blood. Olive died in childhood and Rebecca married Deacon Henry Jewett of Pepperell.

    Noah Blood, father of Lorenzo P. Blood , was born at the homestead and reared to agricultural pursuits. When a young man he bought an adjoining estate, the presen ttown farm, where he resided for about thirty years, when he removed to the place where his son later lived.

    Hannah Prentice Chace , his wife, was a native of Millbury Mass., and her mother was a representative of the Prentice family of Grafton, Mass. Both the Blood and the Chase families were long-lived people. Edmund Blood, the Revolutionary patriot above named, lived to be ove reighty; John, his brother, died at seventy-two years; John E. was living and eighty-three in 1898; Mrs.Rebecca Jewett lived to be eighty-three years old; and Mrs. Hannah P. Chase Blood attained the age of eightyseven.

    Noah Blood was accidentally killed when sixty two but was an able-bodied man at the time of his death.He had two children: Noah Orville Blood and Lorenzo Prentice Blood, the subject of this sketch.

    Noah Orville Blood was for some years a merchant in Concord, Mass. He later went to Wilkes Barre, Pa., remaining there but a short time. His last years were spent in Abington, Mass., where he died at the age ofsixty-two years. He had a family of one son and two daughters, none of whom were living in 1898.

    Lorenzo Prentice Blood prepared for college at the Pepperell Academy and entering Amherst, was in the class of twenty-six graduated in 1846. Dr. Henry M. Storrs late secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, was one of his classmates; and Galusha A. Grow and Dr. Seelye for several years president of Amherst College were also students in the college at that time. There are now (1898) but seven members of the class of 1846, and reunions are held once in ten years.

    While pursuing his classical course, Mr. Blood taught school during thevacation season, and immediately after graduating he entered Andover (Mass.) Theological Seminary, but soon abandoned the study of divinity in order to enter permanently the field of education. During his longand varied career he was called to different localities entering upon his work in Vermont, and continuing it in Red Bank and Shrewsbury, NH., Prince Georges County, Maryland, the Pepperell Academy in 1852 and 1853 and the Marblehead High School, the academy in South Braintree, Mass.

    After spending two years in business with his brother in Abington he went to Baltimore, MD., in January 1858 and taught Trinity School one and a half years. In August, 1859, he became principal of the Washington County Academy in Hagerstown, Md., where he remained until August 1868; and, as his sojourn there extended through the exciting times of the Civil War his position was one requiring considerable tact to maintain.

    The academy was attended by children whose parents were about equally divided, some opposing and others supporting the cause of seccession; but his happy faculty of getting along with his patrons and pupils carried him through without any factional discord. On account of his mother's advanced age he returned in August 1868 to Pepperell, where he revived the old Academy and presided over it for a time, later for 3 years taking charge of the high school and later still of the academy in Pembroke, NH.

    In politics he was a Republican. He has attended many conventions, was for a number of years a member of the Board of Selectmen and Overseers of the Poor and an Assessor, and also served for several years as Superintendent of Schools and Committee on the School Board, and, in fact, in almost every other office in the service of the town, being for many years Moderator at town meetings. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and as Master of the lodge in Hagerstown during the war he saw, upon many occasions the practical demonstration of the benefits of the craft. He was familiar with historical Masonry, and he was formerly connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

    In June 1854 he was chosen principal of the Marblehead High School; and on November 29, 1855, Mr. Blood was united in marriage with Margaret Grant Thompson of Marblehead, formerly a teacher in that town. She was the mother of three children: Samuel Thompson Blood, instructor in the industrial department of the Mass. Reformatory; Annah Prentice Blood, a graduate of the Salem Normal School and later a teacher in Mount Vernon, NY and Margaret Grant Blood who resided at the home of her parents.

    Of late (ca 1898) Mr. Blood had turned his attention to surveying, and besides locating the lines of many farms he laid out several public highways. He was secured to write a history of Pepperell for Drake's History of Middlesex County, and he was the author of that part of Hurd's History devoted to this town. He was highly esteemed both personally and for his scholarly ability and was a recognized authority upon many subjects.

    He had been usefull to his fellow-men in every station of his life. His religion was to "deal justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with his God."

Two great grand-daughters: Jessica Rorabaugh, Haley Rorabaugh and one great, great grandson, Bentley Rorabaugh Eason.

      In addition to being a wife and mother, she was a noted and accomplished artist (mostly oil, acrylic, pastels & water color paintings). She won many juried art show awards, her favorite being "First in Show" for "Sandman", a contemporary style multi- medium art work. She was most proud of this award because it was given by the Peale Museum, Baltimore, Maryland and her art work hung in this museum, the first museum built in the Unite States. She attended All Saints Elementary school, graduated from Mt. St. Agnes High School in Mt. Washington and the Maryland Art Institute in Baltimore, Maryland. Mary was loved for her sweet personality, great humor and enthusiastic love of life. She chose to see beauty and good in all things. Our world is better for having her with us.

    96. Capt. John Prentice, b. 27 Jul 1753, Cambridge, son of Henry and Mary. John was a farmer, next a merchant of New Salem and Wendell, MA; moved to Rutland, VT about 1810.

Samuel Kendell of New Salem, MA and resided in Montague, MA near Wendell, and was b. 1750. Ann died at Rutland, VT, on 20 Mar 1810 or 1812. By her first husband, Cook, she had Abigail and James. Said a Rutland paper at her death:

      "Sweet is the sleep where virtue strews the bed, An angel's wing shall guard a mortal, dead, And Heaven's own trump the bursting tomb shall move, And hail to bliss the daughter of its love."

    John, after Ann's death, moved to Lexington, KY where he d. 1818; was a captain in the Rev. war, and in the battle of Lexington and others; was an intimate friend of Gov. Bowdoin for whom he named his sixth child. He had two brothers in that army. He was a communicant of the Montague Church, 1797, as was his wife three years before.

    97. Thomas Prentice, (#47) b. 29 May 1755, shoemaker and farmer, son of Henry and Mary (Walker) Prentice.

    Thomas was in the Concord and Lexington fights in Capt. Caleb Gibb's company, and was one of the thousand hand-picked men who fortified Bunker Hill and was in that battle. His son, Oliver, said his father's account of the locations on Bunker Hill was so graphic that when he visited the place in 1850, he could tell where the face of the ground was changed.

    Mr. Prentice was one of the two men chosen by Washington from Gibb's company as part of his body guard, "young men who could run through a troop or jump over a wall." He remained one of the "Guards" until near the close of the war, rising to rank of Captain. Shortly before independence was declared, he was provost marshal and had to see to execution of deserters; disliking this, he gave up his commission and retired from the army.

    For a number of nears he kept the "State House," Elizabethtown, NH; then he moved to what was later Milo, Yates County, west side of Seneca Lake, NY and was one of the pioneers of that place.

    He later lived for 14 years on the east bank of the Richelieu or Sorrell River near St. John's, Province of Quebec. In the winter of 1801-2, he moved to the northwest corner of Highgate, VT and in the spring of 1805 to St. Armand, Lower Canada, now Province of Quebec. He visited Genessee in the winter of 1807-7 and lived nine or ten years in Milo, and then returned to Seneca Lake for twelve years with his family, and after living for a short time in Northern Ohio, moved to Watervliet, NY where he died in June, 1838. "He was a trustworthy man."

    Thomas married Alice Parker in 1791. She was the daughter of Capt. James Parker, an officer of the Revolution. Alice was born at South Kingston, RI on 12 Feb 1769 and died 1 Feb 1825 in Huron County, OH. Children of Thomas Prentice and Alice Parker:

    98.5. Dr. Nathaniel Shepherd Prentice, b. 7 Aug 1766 and d. 7 Nov 1853 in Cambridge, MA at the home of his son-in-law, Rev. Joseph Banvard, age 87. He was the son of Nathaniel and Abigail.

    He attended Harvard College, 1787 where he studied medicine with Dr. Israel Atherton of Lancaster, MA and in 1789 settled in Marlboro', MA having an extensive practice there. He is said to have attended there over 1,000 births. In 1801 he moved to Roxbury, MA where he resided over fifty years; for nine years principal of the Roxbury Latin School.

    In 1809 he resumed the practice of his profession and opened a private school for both sexes for some years, with great success. He felt a deep interesting in preparing his pupils for the counting house, college, or active life, and their success gave him great pleasure, and felt proud of many, an honor to their professions; they showed their gratitude to him in many ways.

    He was selectman of Roxbury , 1812 to 1816, and then elected town clerk which he continued until the close of the town government, in 1846. His clear and beautiful penmanship on the records shows his correct and systematical manner of conducting that office. His last official act was to administer the oath of office to John J. Clarke, Esq., first mayor of the city on 1 Apr 1846. In 1810-12 and 1835 he was representative to the State government of MA.

    A portrait of Dr. Nathaniel Shepherd Prentice, by Otis A. Weed, was in the Roxbury Athenaeum. Mr. Banvard had a full-length daguerreotype of him by Whipple, though somewhat faded, and an excellent oil painting of him, life size, by Bass Otis. He was tall and stout, with a full face. The Boston Journal of 11 Nov 1853 has a report of the Roxbury City Council showing the high estimation of his character and abilities as a trusted public officer. The report was unanimously accepted by both branches of the Roxbury city government.councilman who, by a 3-2, vote was wished well on his retirement.

    Dr. Nathaniel S. Prentice, when a boy, made a studio of an old carriage in his father's yard. He related to his son-in-law, Rev. Banvard, that he saw the British soldiers on their way to Concord, MA. They stopped at a well near his father's house and broke off some branches of fruit trees then in bloom. He mentioned this to Hon. Edward Everett who introduced it into an historical address.

    He was a member of Rev. Dr. Porter's Unitarian Church, Roxbury. On hearing Dr. Griffin of Part Street Church, he changed his sentiments and united with the Baptist Society in Roxbury. He entertained those ministers at his house. Two of his daughters married Baptist ministers.

    His regard for the Rev. Samuel Newell, one of the first foreign missionaries, was such that when, on visiting Mr. Prentice once, he stepped on a newly painted threshold, Mr. Prentice would not allow it covered, and pointed out to visitors. When the Elliot Church was formed in Roxbury, he joined that.

    Dr. Prentice moved to West Cambridge to his son-in-law Benvard's, for the last year or two and died there 7 Nov 1853 and was buried in the Prentiss tomb on Copps Hill, Boston.

    Mr. Prentice was a religious man of the old Puritan type. In his last years he read many books of a strong Calvinistic character. He was often delirious in his last illness, but the repetition of the Twenty-third Psalm and other soothing passages of Scripture by Rev. Banvard would calm his most violent symptoms instantly, and he would answer, "How beautiful that is.
    Of no distemper, of no blast he died,
    But fell like autumn fruit that mellowed long."

      Richard H. Prentiss: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice, Fairbanks Daily News-Miner (AK) - \ Wednesday, December 13, 2006

      Longtime Fairbanks resident Richard Henry Prentiss, 79, passed away on Dec. 8, 2006, at Denali Center. Richard was born in 1927 in Medford, Mass. After service overseas in the U.S. Marine Corps, Richard traveled to Fairbanks in 1951 where he began a career with the Alaska Railroad.

      In 1953, he met and married Anna Mattson of Duluth, Minn, and they started a family soon thereafter. Richard will be fondly and indelibly remembered for the uniqueness of his character and personality.

      He was preceded in death by his parents, Amory and Annie Prentiss of Winchester, Mass.; brothers, Tom and Amory; and his sister, Louise.

      Richard is survived by his wife of 53 years, Anna of Fairbanks; children and their spouses, Richard Prentiss of Fairbanks, William and Osiris Prentiss of Reno, Nev., James Prentiss of Phoenix, Philip and Thessaly Prentiss of Bellingham, Wash., and Patricia and Ken Brasel of Seattle; and grandchildren, Melanie, Quinn, Troy, Tate, Clara, Madeline and Garett.

      In respect of his wishes, no service will be held. To those at his side, as well as to those who knew him, it should come as no surprise that his passing was marked by the same undaunted spirit that animated his life. A celebration of his life for family and friends will be held at a later date. Arrangements were by Chapel of Chimes Funeral Home.

    113. John Prentiss, son of Rev. Dr. Thomas and Mary. Harvard College, 1818. Hed. Baltimore 31 Aug 1861; while crossing a railroad track his carriage was run into by a train of cars and he was thrown out and instantly killed. His wife died after that date.

    Dr. Joseph Palmer's "Necrology of the Alumni of Harvard College" relates that John studied with his father until the latter's death, and in Phillips Academy, Andover, from April of same year, preparing for college. In his Sophomore year, he taught school in Wayland, then called East Sudbury, and his Junior and Senior years in Medfield. Graduated as a fair scholar, untainted by any vices of college life, protected by the principles of pure religion and the stern morality instilled by the tenderest of mothers.

    He practiced strict economy, but was encumbered with debts at its close unavoidably contracted. To discharge these and fit himself in theology he accepted the charge of the Female High School in Charlestown, then just established with one female assistant. He had charge of three hundred pupils; he was so acceptable his engagement was renewed and continued until he had accomplished his objective.

    In the winter of 1819-20 he entered the Divinity School at Cambridge, and continued till the autumn of 1822, with occasional ill health, and taking charge of Rev. Henry Coleman's labors in Boston, while Mr. Coleman was ill, and resided in his family, and who continued his friend till his death in Islington, near London, 17 Aug 1849, while engaged in agricultural inquiries in Europe for the State of Massachusetts.

    From bodily health, after his studies were ended, Mr. Prentiss abandoned his choice of profession for a while. In 1823 he remained with his mother at her home to recuperate. In that year, by advise of physicians, to try a milder climate, he accepted a tutorship in Baltimore College. His health being partially restored in 1824, he took charge, as principal, of one of the State academies of Maryland at Garrison Forrest, till the autumn of 1825, with restored health and the reputation of a faithful and successful teacher, and by request he removed to Baltimore, and opened a private school for boys, with great success.

    The climate, social relations, and the reputation as a teacher, induced him to make that city his home and teaching his occupation.

    In 1833 he was elected president of the collegiate, and principal of the academic department of Baltimore College, and remained as such eight years, educating many pupils, with the aid of several instructors. He rejected corporal punishment, and successfully carried it out for eight years, while he remained.

    In 1841, because of ill health from over-exertion, he resigned and retired to his country seat three and a half miles from Baltimore and resided there till his death, and there opened a private boarding school for boys, and also attending to his health, which was fully restored. He named his place "Medfield" from his native town, and there for twenty years, by his example, taught his scholars Christian faith and practice, and was both teacher and friend.

    130.1 Arthur Henry. Prentiss, b. 23 Aug 1860, MA, and d. 28 Dec 1943,Shrewsbury, Worcester Co., MA. Bur. Mt. View Cemetery, Shrewsbury, MA. For photo, see Ancestry.com . He is the Arthur H. Prentiss, age 59 and born in MA, who appears in the 1920 Oakland, Alameda Co., CA census with his wife, Maria L., b. c. 1854 in Sweden. He may also be the Arthur Prentiss whose son, James Arthur Prentiss, was an Oakland police officer and whose descendants are described in the Internet Prentice Newsletter, Winter 1999 Edition. Also bur. in Mt. View Cemetery in Shrewsbury is Ella E. Prentice, b. 15 Oxr 1848 and d. 6 Jan 1934. She is called Arthur's wife on the headstone and may be a 2nd wife.

    Arthur is probably the same Arthur Prentiss sought by Barbara Vaughan who was b. 1860s and is called by Barbara Vaughan a "native of Worcester, MA." Her Arthur was working for the railroad in Truckee at the time of the birth of his children. Barbara Vaughn email of 4 Aug 2003 relates that Arthur was in his 80's, visiting kin in Boston about Dec. 1942 or 1943, when he was run down by a car and died there. That would suggest a birth date for him of somewhere between 1853 and 1862. Her Arthur's death date, 1942-43, matches closely the death of Arthur H. Prentiss. For now, we infer they are the same person and will use information provided by Barbara Vaughan on her line.

    Arthur married 1st Nellie Berry or Nellie Lewellen. She was the sister of Ed Berry who also lived in Folsom (he was b. 29 Sep 1863, d. 18 Dec 1936 and is bur at the Catholic Church in Folsom); his second wive was Isabel/Izzy. Nellie died of TB and is buried at the Catholic Church in Folsom, CA. After her death, Arthur placed his children in the care of the Catholic Church orphanage in Grass Valley, Nevada Co., CA.

Bur in Jasper, Steuben, NY. She was the dau. of Moses Dennis and Sarah Frye of Essex Co., MA. An Ancestor Chart for her can be found at Ancestry.com .

    Her 1st husband was Arcalus Fuller Whittemore; they had 4 ch.: Moses, Julia, Wm. C. & Elizabeth. The following biographical sketch for William and Permalia comes from The Dennis Family :

      Parmelia Whittemore and Wm. H. Prentice were married Jan. 1, 1S29. Thus, uniting their fortunes, it became necessary for her to commence life a second time in the wilds of the wilderness, with all of its attendant dangers and hardships. Taking up the lot that Judson Prentice now owns, Mr. Prentice commenced clearing his land ; built a framed house. Some say the first roof was hemlock brush ; others say it was boards battened with slabs, but it leaked in time of showers. The wolves would prowl about the house nights and sometimes howl fearfully. But such scenes were common in those days.

      Mr. Prentice built a frame barn, which has been moved, and is still in use on the farm. Mrs. Prentice was one of the charter members of the Presbyterian Church of Jasper, and honored her profession all through her life. Mr. W. H. Prentice was chosen one of its Elders, Sept. 12, 1847, in connection with Thomas Whi- ting, and served the Church faithfully until his death, some thirty years thereafter.

      There was a man by the name of Seoby, who used to go about making shoes; would" take his tools with him, and go to the house of the customer, and make shoes for all the family, the customer finding his own leather. He did a job for Mr. Prentice. He had been a brick maker in the East, and informed Mr. Prentice that on his land was suitable material for making brick. They ac- cordingly went to work and made the moulds, mixed the mortar with a pair of steers and prepared the kiln, under Scoby's direc- tions, and brought out a fine article and it was used by all of the old settlers for miles around. There are some of these brick in use in the village of Jasper to-day. ' Esquire Dennis in building his framed house used them extensively ó for jambs to his fire- place, brick oven, top to chimneys.

      One day Mr. Prentice was chopping down a tree, for wood to burn brick. Just as the tree started they saw the old sow with eight pigs right where the tree was to strike. The hog got hit and killed but the pigs were too smart to be caught. Brick were made occasionally in this place for years after.

      John Prentice, head of the family that ows Prentice's Stores, along the Brooklyn water front, died suddenly of heart disease yesterday at the home of his mother [at] 1 Grace Court, Brooklyn. He had been living with his family in Tuxedo for the Winter and left there on the 9:30 train yesterday morning to call on his mother, who is now 80 years of age and in feeble health.

      He crossed to Brooklyn on the Wall Street ferryboat and took a cable car up to the top of the hill, walking from there the few blocks to his mother's house. He felt faint at the time and told the servant who opened the door that he was quite weak.

      Going up to his mother's room, he found Dr. M. T. Lloyd in attendance and asked him to prescribe for him. Dr. Lloyd discovered that Mr. Prentice's heart was affected and ordered him to bed and sent for Dr. J. D. Rushmore. The two physicians worked over Mr. Prentice for some time, but convulsions set in and he died in less than hour. . . .

      News of his death was telegraphed to [his wife] Mrs. Prentice in Tuxedo, who hurried to Brooklyn with her daugher, [Mary],and also to John H. Prentice, a son who is at St. Mark's School, Framingham, MA, and W. S. Prentice, a brother of the deceased and a stockbroker in this city. The body was removed later in the day to Mr. Prentice's home, 170 Columbia Heights. . . .

      Mr. Prentice was 57 years of age, and was the eldest son of the late John H. Prentice,one of the oldest and wealthiest men of his time in Brooklyn, and the organizer of the system of warehouses along the East River water front. . . .

      He married [Caroline Bill] a daughter of the late Charles E. Bill and for 20 years he and his wife have been the leaders of the most exclusive social set in Brooklyn.

    143.8a Bernon Sheldon Prentice, b. 12 May 1882, Brooklyn, NY, and d. 12 Jun 1948, Hot Springs, VA, age 66, and bur. in Brooklyn, NY. 1940 census in Holmdel, Monmouth Co., NJ. Doing a Google search, we found the following short biography:

      BERNON SHELDON PRENTICE, a former President of the Alumni Association and a former Trustee of the School, died suddenly at Virginia Hot Springs on June 12th. He had had a slight heart attack about six months previously but the end came unexpectedly.

      His family had long been associated with St. Paul's School. His grandfather, William C. Sheldon, had served as a Trustee of the School from 1877 until his death in 1896 and his uncle, George R. Sheldon (1868-1875), had also served as a Trustee of the School from 1902 until his death in 1919. The Sheldon Library was given in memory of William C. Sheldon by his four children, one of whom was Prentice's mother.

      Born in Brooklyn on May 12, 1882, the son of William S. P. Prentice and Ella Crawford Sheldon Prentice,

      Prentice attended St. Paul's from 1896 to 1901 and then entered Harvard University, from which he graduated in 1905. While there, he was a member of the Institute of 1770, Hasty Pudding and the Fly Club.

      At St. Paul's, he played on the School hockey team. Although he always retained his fondness for that sport, his greatest interest in the field of athletics was in tennis, where he had a long and outstanding career. He captained the tennis team at Harvard and, after graduation, for a quarter of a century was the men's singles champion of the Seabright Lawn Tennis and Cricket Club. For almost as many years he won the men's doubles and mixed doubles championships there. During that period he was ranked, with his friend Theodore Roosevelt Pell, among the first ten of the doubles teams in this country. Until his death he was prominent in the affairs of the United States Lawn Tennis Association and one year served as a nonplaying captain of the American Davis Cup Team. The finals of this event were held in Paris, while the Hon. Walter E. Edge was Ambassador to France. During the play several untoward incidents happened which caused so much excitement that the matches were on the point of being called off had it not been for the tact of the nonplaying captain. This incident is mentioned to illustrate the character of the man. No keener competitor ever stepped on the courts and no finer sportsman ever played the game. He was always ready to give his opponent the benefit of any doubt, and this high sense of sportsmanship and fairness at the time of the incident above mentioned brought about an understanding which resulted in the remaining matches being played. Had these matches been abandoned, the future of the Davis Cup matches might well have been in jeopardy.

      During World War I, he was commissioned an officer in the Red Cross and saw active service at the front in the Italian campaign. He was subsequently decorated by both the Italian and French Governments. His interest in the Red Cross never failed, and during World War II he was aclive in raising funds for this organization, heading the Sports Committee which donated the proceeds of various athletic contests to the Red Cross.

      He followed the adventurous career of his brother-in-law, Lincoln Ellsworth, on his various flights to the Arctic and Antarctic with the keenest interest and served as Chairman of various committees formed to sponsor these expeditions.

      After graduation from Harvard. Prentice entered the banking world in New York City and soon became a partner in the well known firm of Dominick & Dominick, where he remained until his retirement from active business several years ago. He was a director in many corporations, including among others, the Fulton Trust Company, in which he took a special interest. He was also President of the Jekyl Island Club, where he spent the winter for many years.

      He served as President of the Alumni Association from 1928 to 1930 and as a Trustee of the School from 1928 to 1934. From the day he entered St. Paul's his love for the School and his interest in its welfare continued until his death. He gave generously to all of its activities and had created two scholarship funds, one in memory of his wife, Clare Ellsworth Prentice, and the other in memory of his son, Sheldon Ellsworth Prentice, Lieutenant-Commander, U.S.N.R., who was killed in action in the Pacific on March 19, 1945.

      He was blest with a keen sense of humor and the faculty for making and keeping friends, because he saw no ill in any man. His gaiety of spirit gave to all whom he met, even casually, young or old, in business, social life or sport, a definite lift and a feeling of goodfellowship. In spite of blows which might have discouraged a less courageous soul, he led a happy life. All who knew him realize that an old age of quietude would never have suited his active brain and body. He was ready to go when the call came.

      He is survived by his second wife, Josephine Mcllvaine (McFadden), whose son, Alexander McFadden (1926-32), met his death while skiing in Colorado last winter; a daughter, Clare, wife of C. Frederic Neilson; his two sisters, Mrs. Reeve Schley and Mrs. Prentice Hoagland; his daughter-in-law, Sheila Potter Prentice; and two grand-daughters and one grandson, who bears the name of Sheldon Ellsworth Prentice.

    143.8b Sheldon Elsworth Prentice, b. 14 Nov 1914, Manhattan, NY. Having entered the Navy in 1941, Prentice was commissioned a Lieutenant (j.g.), January 16, 1942. After serving two and one-half years in this country and in the South Pacific, he came back to this country for further training, was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Commander and, returning to the Pacific, was attached to a Bombing Squadron of an aircraft carrier. At the age of 31, he was killed in action in the Pacific, March 19, 1945, and bur. in Honoluluy, Hawaii. Lt. Cdr., USNR. Photo at FindAGrave.

    Eva married, as his 3rd wife, Wisner L. Litchfield after 1865 when he divorced Lydia (per Denise email of 11 Jul 2008) when Eve would have been about 49 and Wisner about 58.

    In the 1910 and 1920 census he was living with his parents at Smith Place off Ripley Road. In the 1930 census Wisner was living with his parents in Cohasset, Norfolk, MA, at 193 Ripley Road (per Denise, email, 8 Jul 2008).

    Wisner L. Litchfield's obituary appears in the 27 May 1995 "Patriot Ledger", Quincy, MA:

      Wisner was b. c. 1907 in Cohasset and died on the Thursday preceding 27 May 1996. He grew up and attended schools in Cohasset. He later lived in Manchester 35 years. Wisner was a former millwright, master machinist and Coast Guard veteran.

      4. Lawrence Litchfield of Brockton

      Note: An email of 8 Jul 2008 from Denise contains information establishing that Priscilla is the daughter of Wisner's first wife, Mildred. Since Eva did not marry Wisner until after 1965 when she was about 49, and Denise's mother remembers Priscilla's brothers, Richard and Paul, but not Lawrence, it is likely that Larence was a son of Lydia and that Richard and Paul sons of Mildred.

      Arizona Daily Star, The (Tucson, AZ) - Sunday, September 20, 2015: Helen Jeanne Prentiss 3/6/1926 to 9/6/2015

      Helen died at age 89 in Tucson. She was born Helen Jeanne Wood in Hueneme, California, to Frank and Indra Wood.

      She grew up with red hair, freckles and two older sisters on a farm in Oxnard, and enrolled in art school after high school. Then she met a sailor on a bus, and everything changed. Helen and Leslie Howard Prentiss Jr. were wed August 19, 1944, and stayed in California through the end of his Navy service, long enough to have a daughter, Martha.

      After the war, Leslie moved the family back to his native Tucson to work as a school teacher and principal. In 1946, they paid $300 for a desert lot and built their own home at Prince Road and Tucson Boulevard, then a dirt track dotted with creosote. Their son, Leslie Howard Prentiss III, was born in 1948. In 50 years, they never stopped working on the house.

      Helen was a needlework expert and tailor-quality seamstress. She decorated and redecorated with a perfectionist's heart and superhuman eyes that could see colors invisible to most mortals. Her standards were high, her wit sharp, her laugh infectious. She dressed smartly and read voraciously. She had a weakness for maple sweets, Mexican food and all things British. Helen also loved tennis, both following the pros and playing herself into her 70's. She didn't like to lose, but made lifelong friends on the court.

      She loved and was loved by her daughter, Martha Brean; son, Leslie; grandchildren, Casey (Tab) Hoyt; Sam Brean and Henry (Sherri) Brean; seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. She was preceded in death by husband, Leslie; sisters, Bernice McMillin and Kathleen Owen; son-in-law, George Brean; and infant granddaughter, Chandra.

      At her request, no services will be held. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOME, Dodge Chapel.

      Richard Malcolm Prentiss: Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice, Daily Gazette, The (Schenectady, NY) - Thursday, May 31, 2007

      Deceased Name: Richard Malcolm Prentiss: Richard Malcolm Prentiss (Dick) passed from this worldly life on May 26, 2007, surrounded by his loving family. He was 85 years old. Dick was born in Somerville, MA to Natalie and Charles Prentiss on March 13, 1922.

      He attended Tufts University in Boston. He was a veteran and proud to serve his country in the U.S. Navy during WWII on the USS Pacid Medical Ship as a Pharmacist Mate Third Class. He is honored on war memorials in Charlton, NY and Somerville, MA.

      Dick started his career in 1945 at Bushway Ice Cream Co. in Somerville, MA and moved to Schenectady to work at the Sealtest Plant in 1951. He worked at many different and varied jobs and rose to the position of Chemical and Facilities Engineer before retiring after 27 years of service. Soon thereafter, Dick began another career with General Electric Knolls Atomic Power Lab in 1973 as an Atmospheric Environmental Engineer, and he retired for the second time after 13 years of service. He remained interested in his specialty field and continued to advise and consult for the Mohawk Leather Works in Gloversville.

      Dick proudly served as a deacon of the First Baptist Church of Scotia where he was a member for 57 years. He was a very special man of many talents and enjoyed numerous hobbies with his family including hunting, fishing, scuba diving, camping, water skiing, photography, model railroading, and most of all playing his beloved music and piano, and building and flying (and crashing) model airplanes. He enjoyed surprises and on their 60th wedding anniversary Dick planned, without Helen's knowledge, a special ceremony renewing their wedding vows. During a two year hiatus, Dick realized his life's dream and built his own home on Crooked St. in Charlton with the help of his family.

      Dick was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Goodwin; sister, Natalie Virginia (Jon); daughter, Helen Ann Coon; and his cherished wife, Helen, who passed on March 29, 2003.

    He m. Helen Jeanne Wood, b. 6 Mar 1926 Hueneme, CA, and d. 6 Sep 2015, Tucson, AZ. Her obituary reads as follows:

      Arizona Daily Star, The (Tucson, AZ) - Sunday, September 20, 2015: Helen Jeanne Prentiss 3/6/1926 to 9/6/2015

      Helen Jeanne Prentiss 3/6/1926 to 9/6/2015. Helen died at age 89 in Tucson. She was born Helen Jeanne Wood in Hueneme, California, to Frank and Indra Wood.

      She grew up with red hair, freckles and two older sisters on a farm in Oxnard, and enrolled in art school after high school. Then she met a sailor on a bus, and everything changed. Helen and Leslie Howard Prentiss Jr. were wed August 19, 1944, and stayed in California through the end of his Navy service, long enough to have a daughter, Martha. After the war, Leslie moved the family back to his native Tucson to work as a school teacher and principal. In 1946, they paid $300 for a desert lot and built their own home at Prince Road and Tucson Boulevard, then a dirt track dotted with creosote. Their son, Leslie Howard Prentiss III, was born in 1948. In 50 years, they never stopped working on the house.

      Helen was a needlework expert and tailor-quality seamstress. She decorated and redecorated with a perfectionist's heart and superhuman eyes that could see colors invisible to most mortals. Her standards were high, her wit sharp, her laugh infectious. She dressed smartly and read voraciously. She had a weakness for maple sweets, Mexican food and all things British. Helen also loved tennis, both following the pros and playing herself into her 70's. She didn't like to lose, but made lifelong friends on the court. She loved and was loved by her daughter, Martha Brean; son, Leslie; grandchildren, Casey (Tab) Hoyt; Sam Brean and Henry (Sherri) Brean; seven great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. She was preceded in death by husband, Leslie; sisters, Bernice McMillin and Kathleen Owen; son-in-law, George Brean; and infant granddaughter, Chandra.

      At her request, no services will be held. Arrangements by ADAIR FUNERAL HOME, Dodge Chapel.

He was a Professor of Business Administration at Phoenix College from 1965 until his retirement in 2003. Both professionally and personally Chuck's life was very much about giving to others. As a teacher of young people and as a husband, father, grandfather and friend, Chuck's most evident trait was his willingness to put aside personal interests in order to come to the aid of others. Through the years Chuck took great interest in hobbies such as reading, traveling and gardening. An avid gardener, Chuck leaves as a legacy beautiful landscapes that he created both in Phoenix and at his son's homes in the Midwest.

      Velma Grace (Mikolash) Prentiss, age 79, died on Thursday, April 28, 2005 after a battle with cancer. Velma was born and raised on a farm near Tyndall, South Dakota. She grew up with her two sisters and two brothers on that farm with no electricity, running water, or phone. The farmhouse and barn were built of logs in the late 1800's but, times had been good and both were upgraded with milled siding.

      Velma attended a one-room country school house, starting first grade at the age of four. She started working in town (Tyndall) at the ripe old age of 12 to provide additional income for her family, as was customary for the times. She graduated from Tyndall High in 1942. During WWII, she and her older sister, Florence (Flo) left South Dakota for new adventures in California, settling in Stockton. Velma first stayed with relatives on Market St and later moved to a small house on Hawthorne with her sister Flo and her cousin Dorothy (Dot) Fridrich. As any good sisters would, when making the long walk home from work with Dot, they enjoyed teasing and scaring their cousin along the way. Velma would talk of times in Stockton of seeing movies at the Fox Theater or attending dances at the Stockton auditorium - walking and enjoying the downtown, streets filled with people, sailors and soldiers - such different times from today.

      After the war, Velma began working for the Western Pacific Railroad as the Train Master's secretary where she eventually met and married Orren Prentiss. They bought a home in Stockton where they raised three children, Mike, Patty and Steve .

      She enjoyed many facets of life; fly fishing, camping, gardening, pinochle club, league bowling, golfing, cooking, dancing, and most of all traveling. Her traveling adventures took her to all corners of the world. Some of her favorite stops were the beauty of Alaska; climbing the Great Wall of China; almost being stranded behind the Iron Curtain; viewing the Terra Cotta Warriors; the wild beauty of Africa; the grandeur of Ancient Greece; the treasures of Eastern Europe; and even the simplicity of traveling through the splendors of America - Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Yellow Stone, Glacier Park, Grand Canyon, camping and clam digging in Washington State, fall in New England, cheese in Wisconsin, lobster in Maine, and most of all visiting family and the old homestead in South Dakota.

      After retiring from the railroad, besides traveling, she also stayed active for many years as an officer of the Union Pacific Employees Club #39.

      Velma played her hand of life very well. She was preceded in death by Orren; her eldest son, Michael and her brothers, Norman and Bernard. She is survived by her sisters, Florence Immers of Reno, NV, Ruth Rezac of Dante, SD; daughter, Patricia Wehe of Stockton; son, Steven, U.S. Navy, stationed in Okinawa; grandchildren, Robert, Andrea, Tanya, Keith, Gregory, James and Rebecca and 9 great-grand-children.

      Family and friends are invited to attend a Memorial Service at 11:00 a.m., Friday, May 6, 2005 at Frisbie-Warren and Carroll, 809 N California St., Stockton. Private Interment well be held at a later date at Farmington Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the American Cancer Society, the Hospice of San Joaquin, 3888 Pacific Ave, Stockton, CA 95204 or a charity of choice.

Sophia Mellen, d. single 25 Aug 1849. James went into partnership in Boston with Mr. Bond as the firm of Bond and Prentiss, importers, with a business house in London, from 1803 to 1811. The embargo ruined him. He then removed to Lexington, KY and became an extensive woolen manufacturer, owing the largest flock of merino sheep in the United States, and filling large army contracts in the War of 1812.

    The peace depreciated the value of that property and again he was ruined. He then, with his brothers, entered into a promising real-estate speculation in Indiana, but disease and death ruined their plans and lessened their number.

    He then went to New York and engaged in various businesses, chiefly brokerage, and as agent for claims in Washington where he often went. He had large personal claims, also in the effort to colonize Texas. The commission passed favorably upon large claims, afterwards proved fraudulent, and rejected his claims, which were genuine, which troubled his declining years.

    A brief biography can also be found in the "Handbook of Texas" which reads as follows:

      PRENTISS, JAMES (1782ñ1857). James Prentiss, businessman and land speculator, son of John and Ann (Kendall) Prentice, was born on March 16, 1782, in Massachusetts. He later changed his last name from Prentice to Prentiss. After his schooling he entered into partnership with a Mr. Bond of Boston, with whom he formed the company Bond and Prentiss, which was in business from 1803 to 1811. On November 6, 1805, he married Sophia Gardner Mellen at Watertown, Massachusetts. They had three children. Bond and Prentiss was a major import company until it was ruined by the embargo of 1807ñ09, after which Prentiss moved to Lexington, Kentucky. He went into the wool business and soon owned the largest flock of Mexican sheep in the United States. During the War of 1812 he reaped large profits through army contracts, but the peace of Ghent in 1814 broke him financially again.

      Along with his brothers John M., Thomas G., and Henry B., Prentiss started his first major land company in Hindostan, Indiana, but the deaths of John and Thomas in November 1820 ended the enterprise. Prentiss returned to New York City to work as a broker and speculator. He was a friend of Samuel Swartwout and kept close contact with Sam Houston. He bought considerable scrip from the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company, but he was never a partner in the company. In December 1830 he founded the first of two land companies to speculate in Texas, the Union Land Company. For it he had bought scrip covering twenty-eight leagues from the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company. The second of these ventures, the Trinity Land Company, was founded in January 1834. It was based on scrip for 142 leagues of land, bought from the Galveston Bay and Texas Land Company.

      In July 1835 Prentiss claimed to be in possession of nearly all the Texas land scrip on the market and asked the American chargÈ d'affaires in Mexico, Anthony Butler, to offer the Mexican government $10 million for the cession of nearly all of Texas (with the exception of the Austin, DeWitt, and Robertson grants). In 1849 Prentiss claimed to have invested $1,506,722.08 in his efforts to populate Texas. Although his claims to Texas land were considered invalid by the United States and Mexican governments, he received $122,438 in 1851 for both his land companies. Prentiss died on his estate in Rahway, New Jersey, on September 20, 1857.

    He maintained health and energy until Feb 1857, when he fell a victim to the mysterious "National Hotel poisoning" in Washington, in which many people died and scores sickened, perhaps from arsenic poisoning. He d. 20 Sep 1857. His family had excellent portraits of him and his wife and ivory miniatures of both, taken soon after marriage, and a beautiful portrait of her at 43, and daguerreotypes of both in old age.

Kellog of North Brookfield in 1882 sold 4,000 acres, a part of that land. Henry was so-named for Gov. Bowdoin, an intimate friend of his father. The following biographical sketch is from the "Handbook of Texas Online":

      PRENTISS, HENRY BOWDOIN (1792-1836). Henry Bowdoin Prentiss, businessman, son of John and Ann (Kendall) Prentice, was born in Massachusetts on April 3, 1792. With his brothers Thomas G., John M., and James Prentissqv he founded a land-speculation company in Hindostan, Indiana, in 1814. The company ceased to exist after John and Thomas died in November 1820. With James, Henry Prentiss then established the Union Land Companyqv in New York in December 1830. He became its principal agent and sailed to Texas on board the schooner Crescent in January 1831.

      In Anahuac he established a mercantile business under the management of George M. Patrick,qv who was an agent for the company and who ran the store on his own during Prentiss's absence from September 1831 to March 1833. On September 21, 1831, Prentiss sailed back to New York.

      On March 7, 1832, he married Elizabeth Drury of Pittsford, Vermont. They had one daughter.

      On March 29, 1833, Prentiss again set foot on Texas soil. He wrote his brother an account of the company's affairs in Texas. As the financial future of the Union Land Company did not look too promising, Prentiss petitioned Stephen F. Austinqv for a headright in his own name. From San Felipe de Austin, where he had met with Austin, he traveled to San Antonio and probably Saltillo. On August 17, 1833, he was back in Nacogdoches, and on November 11 he received a title to eleven leagues of la! nd in what is now Polk County.

      Prentiss then went back to New York, where he and his brother established the Trinity Land Companyqv in January 1834. In May Henry sold his interest in the Union Land Company to James. In June 1834, having become the principal agent of the Trinity Land Company, he again sailed to Texas with his wife, other agents of the company including Gilbert L. Thompson, and a group of settlers, on board the schooner Climax.

      Prentiss's health began to decline, and as he could not serve in the Texas army against Mexico, he donated $200 for arms and equipment.

      He died in Anahuac on October 5, 1836.

      A fever in infancy caused his right leg to be lame and feeble during life. As an adult he described as small in stature, limping in gait, a chest, neck and shoulders that were uncommonly full, erect and well developed. He had a high, intellectual forehead and his features, taken together, were distinguished for manly beauty and marked by an expression of unmistakable kindness and benevolence.

      His voice was of remarkable sweetness and flexibility. His eyes were deep and penetrating and he had a most retentive memory, endowed with varied knowledge by extensive reading. His was called unrivaled in power of oratory, frank in though, speech and manner, patient and forbearing in temper, powerfully governed by the affections, and with unbounded generosity of disposition.

      His convivial habits were well known to his contemporaries, but they never caused him to neglect any important business the had on hand. He was always himself at the bar or on the stump. No man was ever more beloved by his intimate friends, and most worthy was he of their affection. No one can describe the charms of his conversation in moments of relaxation and social intercourse. The effect of his eloquence lived on in the memory of those who enjoyed the rare happiness of hearing him.

      He was a lawyer and was elected to the Mississippi Legislature in 1836 and in 1837 was selected by the Governor to serve as a representative to Congress pending election of a permanent member. At the next election, he was returned to Congress by an immense majority. At the close of his term in 1838 he did not run for re-election.

In the fall of 1912 he was elected mayor of New Brunswick on the Democratic ticket and served until April, 1915, when, upon the adoption of the commission form of government, his term automatically ceased. In the election in 1915 he was a candidate for city commissioner. For many years he served as a member and president of the board of trustees of the Free Public Library. Dr.Scott was president of the New Brunswick History Club for a long time, and in 1885 he was made a life member of the New Jersey Historical Society, subsequently serving on its committees on publications and colonial documents. He was vice-president of the society from 1895 to 1904, and again from 1916 until his death; and since 1913 he had been a member of its board of trustees.
