THE PRESCOTT FAMILY.
The very elaborate and valuable genealogy of the Prescott name in this country, by the late Dr. William Prescott, of Concord, leaves nothing to be desired by way of ancestral information. The Prescotts of this part of New Hampshire are there shown to be descended from
1. JAMES1, of Hampton, who there settled from Lincolnshire, Eng., in 1665. Confining ourselves to those branches which were more or less intimately connected with Sanbornton, we commence with
2. SAMUEL3 (James, Jr.2, James1), b. March 14, 1697, who m. Mary4 Sanborn (Joseph3, Jolm2, John1), and lived at Hampton Falls. Of their children (all sons) :
3. Joux [6], b. Dec. 12, 1723. (Third child.)
4. JosErn [8], b. Nov. 17, 1725, at Hampton Falls. (Fourth child.)
5. WILLIAM [14], b. June 21, 1723, at 11. F. (Fifth and youngest child.)
