PRENTICE .- The Prentice fam- ily in Illinois descended from Thomas Prentice and Grace, his wife, who came from England in 1648. There is a tradi- tion in the family that he served in the army of the Commonwealth, and was one of Oliver Cromwell's Life Guard. How- ever that may be, soon after he came to this country, "in 1656, he was chosen Lieutenant of a troop of horse, and chosen Captain in 1662." The brilliant exploits of the "old trooper" are fully recorded in Hubbard's history of the early Indian wars. He settled in New- ton, Massachusetts, and died there in 1709. The stone is still there which marks his grave, and bears the following inscription : " Here lies ye body of Capt. Thomas Prentice, dec'd July ye 7th, 1709, in ye Soth year of his age." His death was caused by a fall from his horse, while returning from church on Sunday. Capt. Thomas Prentice and his wife, Grace, had eight children, one of whom was Thomas Prentice, Jun., who was born in Newton, Mass., Nov. 11, 1649, and who married Sarah Stanton, Jan. I, 1675. They had four children, one of whom was Samuel, who was born in 16So. He married Esther Hammond, and in 1709 moved to Stonington, Conn.

He was a physician, and was for some time Surgeon in the Revolutionary army.

After the close of the war he removed to Milltown, on the Susquehanna river, near the spot where the little city of Waverly, N. Y., now stands, and died there, July 19, 1805.
