We are helping Charles Prentice in the tracing his Prentice roots. Here is what we have so far:
1. William Floyd Prentice was b. Aug 1869 (per 1900 census) and in or near Maryland, Otsego Co., NY according to Charles. William appears as a bachelor in the 1900 Ilion, Herkimer Co. NY census.
About 1904 he married the widow Mrs. Eda Bliss Pierce who, by her deceased prior husband, John Pierce, had:
- William Pierce.
- Bessie Pierce.
- Ben Pierce.
The children of William Prentice and Eda were:
- Glenn Prentice, b. 1907.
- Floyd Prentice, b. 1909
- Raymond Harold Prentice, b. 13 Feb 1911 and d. 17 Aug 1992.
He m. Louise Henrickson in Nov 1934. Son:
- Charles Prentice
Note: The 1920 census apparently erred in identifying the last 3 sons as being surnamed "Pierce."
Charles Prentice relates that his mother's maiden name was Ellen Hooker and she was from Otsego county NY.
