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:

  1. William Pierce.
  2. Bessie Pierce.
  3. Ben Pierce.

The children of William Prentice and Eda were:

  1. Glenn Prentice, b. 1907.
  2. Floyd Prentice, b. 1909
  3. 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."
