1. Robert Prentice was b. at an unknown location in VT, as were his parents. We do not have a birth date for him, but was likely 1880-1884 based on the 1884 birth date of his wife. Robert married and had a son, Howard, below, but was deceased by the time of the 1910 census in Burlington, Chittenden Co., VT. He does not appear in the 1900 and 1910 census where his wife is called a widow.
Robert apparently died between 1905 (when his son Howard was conceived) and probably 1909 (since he does not appear in Vermont Death Records for the period 1909-2007) and certainly before the census was taken in 1910 where his wife is called a widow.
