This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: PRESCOTT - RUSSELL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/UEB.2ACE/466 Message Board Post: I am researching AMORY PRESCOTT who was b. November 26, 1805 Concord MA (according to data collected from internet sites but not vital records) and moved with his parents to Norridgewock, Somerset County, Maine. According to the PRESCOTT MEMORIAL BOOK: (Amory Prescott b. Nov 26, 1805 m. Mary E., the dau. of George Russell) I speculate that MARY E. RUSSELL must have been his first wife who had died by the time of the 1850 census as by 1850 AMORY's wife is now LUCY P. ( ? ) Please see census data collected on this family below. If anyone else has research on this family sure would appreciate hearing back from you. ========================== 5. Willoughby Prescott, Jun'r, b. June 7, 1777, m.
