STANTON PRENTICE: I've have been helping Floyd Kelling in his efforts to trace the ancestry of his John P. Prentice who first appeared in the 1820 census in Greene, Chenango Co., NY. Also appearing in that same census was Stanton Prentice with an indicated birth year between 1760-75. It is now virtually certain that Stanton is John's father, but so far we have not been able to identify Stanton Prentice's parents. It is possible that STANTON PRENTICE served in the revolutionary war and was taken prisoner and escaped in a barrel. We did a calculation to see what STANT0N PRENTICE'S birth date would have had to be if he had been captured during the Rev. War (1776-1783); assuming he was at least 16 in 1776, that would give a birth date of 1760. The 1820 census information indicates he was born between 1760-1775, so it is consistent with military service. We have also located two additional men who may be related to Stanton Prentice. They are Perez Prentice (see our new Prentice Book, pg. 459) and Elijah B. Prentice who appeared in Oxford, Chenango Co., NY with an indicated birth year of 1790-1800. If you have information which will help us identify the parents of Stanton Prentice and the other folks, please contact me.
