Fall 2003 and Revised 16 Feb 2009

Update of 16 Feb 2009: This article has now been replaced by our later Spring 2009 article entitled George Loveland Prentiss of New Jersey . See now that later article.

The following information is based on California Death Records and the obituary of Peter Doremus Prentiss which appeared in the 5 Aug 2003 issue of the Sacramento Bee:

1. Theron L. Prentiss was b. 28 Sep 1897, NJ and d. 11 Aug 1963 in Hayward, Alameda Co., CA at the age of 65 (per SSDI). His mother's maiden name was Doremus and the 1930 census says she was b. in Maine.

Theron does not appear in the 1900, 1910 or 1920 census. He appears in the 1930 Berkeley, Alameda Co., CA census.

He m. Helen McNealy on 2 Apr 1919; she was b. who was b. c. 1897, Providence, RI (per Stan Doremus, email, 16 Feb 2009). Children per census and obituary:

Who are George Loveland Prentice's Parents

The 1930 census shows Theron's father as b. in NJ and his mother as b. in ME.

We note that in our Henry eBook, #221 (Based on Binney's 1883 Prentice book, pg. 136) is George Mellon Prentiss, b. 23 Jan 1819. He m. Emily Loveland and had a son, George Prentiss. No further information appears in Binney's 1883 book.

Although conjecture at this point, Peter might be the great-grandson of Theron Butler Prentice (son of John Homer Prentice and Eliza Butler), b. 10 Dec 1837 in Joliet, IL who appears in the 1880 census for Marion, Marion Co., OH, with his wife, Mary Esther Hoyt, b. c. 1840 in OH, and sons, either of whom might be Peter's grandfather:

  1. Virgil Prentice, b. 10 Aug 1864, Marion, Marion, OH (per IGI)
  2. Homer Prentice, b. 27 Dec 1870, Marion, Marion, OH (per IGI)
