Pat Shipman is seeking information on Adam Prentice, born ca. 1857-58, alive and elderly in Kediri, Eastern Java, in 1938. Adam managed a coffee plantation called Mringin near Kediri in the 1890s; his son, Gerard Alexander Prentice-McLellan was born May 21 1891 in Java. I have a series of letters from Adam to Eugene Dubois; they make no mention of his wife and the son lived with his maternal grandparents in Malang, Eastern Java. Adam may have gone Java from England as Prentice is not a Dutch name and the Dutch & English were the only common Europeans in Java in the 19th century. If you have any information about Adam's parents, wife, or descendants, please contact me. » Joe Dewald [added: 1998-12-04] |

I am from Brent in Bibb County, Alabama. I need some help in finding the father of my g-g-grandfather, William Prentice. The 1870 Bibb County Alabama census lists William, age 40, born in New York; wife, Eliza Jane (Bates) born in Alabama; son James Preston, age 12, born in Alabama. After 1870, William and Eliza Jane move to Hampton, Georgia, but James Preston stays in Bibb County where he marries Nancy Marcilla James in 1882. The only information I have on William is a letter written in 1888 from Georgia. It seems William was a trial judge in Hampton. There were no other children as far as I know. We are the only Prentices in Bibb County. Other Prentices are in Shelby County and elsewhere, but every time I check census and other records, these other Prentices are from Virginia, North Carolina, and Tenneessee.

I have traced my PRENTIS line back to 1600 but I have a couple of "thin spots." I am needing further documentation on two men, both named PASCAL PRENTIS. One was born 16 Oct. 1806 in Milton, Chittenden County, VT. He married a woman named Jane ?, born ca 1814 in Vaughan Township, York County, Ontario. The other, his son, was born in 1834 in Vaughan Township, York County, Ontario. He married Jannet Macrae (born 1843, Black Isle, Ross & Cromarty, Scotland) 10 June 1861 at Cape Rich, St. Vincent Township, Grey County, Ontario.

Does anyone know anything about his whereabouts after 1871? Any info about the deaths of either Pascal PRENTIS or Jane (?) PRENTIS.

Please tell me if you know anything about Stephen Prentis the poet (1800-1862)who lived for the last 25 years of his life at Dinan, France, and brother Edward, painter (1797-1854). They were the sons of Walter of Rochester, Kent, England, and both were baptised at the Earl Street Presbyterian church, Maidstone. I know the very brief entries in (British) Dictionary of National Biography, and the admirable article on Stephen by Mr P. Meazey in Le Pays de Dinan, vol. 15 (1995), 305-21.
