" He that's here interr'd needs no versifying, a vertuos life will keep ye name from dying, he'll live, though poets cease the'r scrib'ling rime, when y't this stone shall mouldred be by time."
This verse has been erroneously stated to be for his grandfather, the old Captain. It is supposed to have been written by his daughter Elizabeth, w. of Joshua Hammond, of whom Dr. Homer writes, - " she was one of the most virtuous, amiable, and sensible women, who ever adorned Newton." Capt. Thomas was supposed to be the last male descendant of the old Captain, in Newton ; they have been perpetuated elsewhere, through his grandsons, Rev. John, of Lan- caster, and Samuel, of Stonington, whose descendants have well done much of the world's work.

Esther Hammond, dr. of Nathaniel, Sen., and had Samuel, Nov. 25, 1702 ; Grace, Jan. 16, 1705; Mary, April 12, 1708 ; removed to Stonington, and had Jonas, Sept. 28, 1710; Esther, 1713 ; Oliver ; Eunice, 1717; Thomas, 1719; Dorety, 1723. Old Capt. Prentice conveyed to Samuel, by deed of gift, one hundred acres of land, with dwelling house thercon, in 1705, lying between Bald Pate hill and meadow. He d. in Stonington, Conn., April 24, 1728, æ. 48. [For a long and noble line of his descendants, see C. J. F. Binney's Genealogy of the Prentice family.]

" Highly esteemed for his piety, probity, and peaceableness ; of great dignity and severity of manners." [Binney's Prentice family.]
I. PRENTICE, JAMES, SEN., and Thomas Prentice, 2d or Jr., were joint purchasers of four hundred acres of land in Cambridge, on " Ist day of Ist month, called March, 1650," of Thomas Danforth, Attorney to Thos. Parish and w. Mary. Also, in 1657, one hundred acres in Camb. Village, being " that farm that James Prentice now dwells on," bounded by land of John Jackson N. E., part of which is now the ancient M. H. lot and burial place. This Prentice farm was upon the E. side of the Dedham highway, and extended from the burial place s. w. beyond the house now occupied by Marshall S. Rice, the present Town Clerk, to John Clark's land, near the brook. James, and Thomas, 2d, supposed to be brothers, built the ancient sharp-roofed dwelling house which stood a few rods from the Dedham road, and the burial place, and which was pulled down about 1800 ; they occupied this place in common many years ; sixty acres of the s. w. part of this farm, passed into the hands of John Prentice, Sen, s. of the Capt., who by his will, in 1689, bequeathed half of it to his nephew, Rev. John, of Lancaster. At the decease of John, Sen.'s wid., 1740, then Madam Bond, she by will bequeathed

the other half to Rev. John, and he sold the whole to Henry Gibbs, Esq., in 1742; also, fifteen acres on the w. side of the Dedham high- way, lying between the farms of John Spring and Jonathan Hyde, which John Jackson gave to his s. in law, Capt. Noah Wiswall, and he conveyed it to John Prentice, Sen., 1678. He m. Susanna, dr. of Capt. Edward Johnson, of Woburn, and had James, 11. 1. 1656; Susanna, 29. 4. 1657 ; Hannah, 24. 2. 1659; Elizabeth, 25. 6. 1660 ; Sarah, 1662 ; and Rose. He was Selectman in 1694, and d. March 7, 1710, æ. 81. Wid. Susanna and s. James, admin. the estate, in 1711. James m. Elizabeth -, sold out his interest in his father's estate, April, 1711, for £60, to his five sisters, " all single women," and probably left Newton. He appears to have been the only male heir of James, Sen., in Newton; what became of him is yet un- known ; nor is there any record of the marriage of either of the daughters. They all agreed, in April, 1711, to leave their portions together, until the decease of their mother.

I. PRENTICE, THOMAS, 2D, was a joint purchaser of lands with James Prentice, in 1650 and 1657, and prob. his brother, as stated in the preceding notice. When he came into the Village, he was called Thomas, Jr. When Capt. Thomas Prentice's s. Thomas was grown up, he was called Thomas, 2d; when his own s. Thomas was grown up, he was called Thomas Prentice, while Capt. Thomas was called and widely known by his military title. Mr. Edward Jackson, by his will, makes bequests to both these Prentices ; the one he styles Capt. Thomas Prentice, and the other Thomas Prentice. Towards the latter part of his life he was called Thomas Prentice, Sen. He appears to have had a great horror of records ; no where does his name appear, except where he could not help it. He was Selectman four years, 1686, '90, '99 and 1700, and his s. Ebenezer was Consta- ble, in 1687. The Town Clerk was obliged to record that; so also of the Register of Deeds. There is not a scrap of record about him among the births, marriages or deaths, nor in the Probate office ; had it not been for the deeds, he could not have been penetrated. By Edward Jackson, Sen's will, (1681,) we learn that he m. his dr. Rebecca, by the first w., and that he gave her a gold ring with this motto, - " Memento Morex," - that he bequeathed to her husband, Thomas Prentice, one hundred acres of land at the s. part of the Town, near " Bald Pate meadow," where he built a house, and re-

sided during the latter part of his life, and two other tracts of land. In 1688, Thomas Prentice, Sen., s. in law to Edward Jackson, con- sented that Jonathan Jackson, of Boston, might sell the lands be- queathed to him by his father's will, Edward Jackson, Sen. In 1694, Thos. Prentice, Sen., and Rebecca, his w., conveyed lands to Rev. N. Hobart. In 1706, he conveyed land to his grandsons, Thomas and Samuel. In 1714, Thomas, Sen. conveyed, by deed of gift, to his s. Thomas, Jr., (after his decease,) his homestead, at Burnt hill, in Newton, adjoining to the new dwelling house of said Thomas, cx- cept what he had allowed to his son in law John Hyde, - reserving two-thirds of the cedar swamp to his s. John and Edward. This deed was acknowledged May, 1714, and recorded Jan. 24, 1724, prob. the year he died. IIe also conveyed land to his loving son John, a cordwainer, in 1714. There is an affidavit of his, dated 1713, re- corded with the deeds, stating that " abont sixty years ago he held one end of the chain to lay out a highway over Weedy hill, in New- ton." Supposing him to have been twenty-one years old at the time of his first purchase of land with James, Sen., in 1650, would make his birth in 1629. He lived to a great age, very near to 100, but the time of his death is unknown. His heirs, however, sold his dwell- ing house and farm, in June, 1728, and said, " of Thomas Prentice, late of Newton." His w. Rebecca was bap. in London, Oct. 10, 1638, according to the Parish Register of Whitechapel ; the time of her death is also unknown. With this data, and some other scraps of record, we conclude that he had by w. Rebecca -, Frances, Thom- as, John, Edward, James, Ebenezer, Enos, Rebecca and Sarah. Fran- ces m. Joseph Palmer, of Stonington, Conn., Nov. 13, 1687 - Sa- rah m. John Hyde, s. of Job, and g. s. of Dea. Samuel, May 15, 1707.
II. PRENTICE, THOMAS, (s. of Thomas and Rebecca,) m. Eliza- beth -, and had John, March, 1691 ; Rebecca, Dec. 22, 1693; Thomas ; Ebenezer, 1706. John Parker sells land to Thomas Pren- tice, Jr., 1719 - Ebenezer was a blacksmith in Newton, in 1728; he prob. went to Uxbridge. John, of Preston, Conn., and Ebenezer, of Newton, blacksmith, conveyed to Timothy Whitney, of Newton, land and dwelling house, in Newton, being the last residence of their grandfather, Thomas Prentice, Sen., for £615, s. w. by Thomas Hastings, s. by John Hyde, and s. E. by Edward Prentice. Their mother Elizabeth joins in the deed, and Edward Prentice was to have a way through the land. John Hyde, witness, June 12, 1728.

In 1718, John Prentice, of Newton, physician, and Bethia his w., conveyed to Na- thaniel Longley, part of the same land, same boundaries ; so, between 1703 and 1718, he laid aside the last and lap-stone, and began with physic. He petitioned the General Court, in 1710, " for payment of his services in the war at the eastward." He probably went with the troops as a physician. He d. Jan. 4, 1721, leaving a will, giving w. Bethia one third of his estate, and the improvement of the whole while she remained his wid., and names six daughters. Thirty acres of land, and some books and surgeon's instruments, in the in- ventory. Total amount, £321, 7s.
