Hi, I am a descendant of John Prentice, The Laird of Stane. I am heading to Scotland in Jan 2018 to try to see some landmarks of my ancestors. Can anyone confirm that The Laird of Stane's property is now the Thornmuir ruins near Carluke, Lanarkshire? Also, I have seen some information that John Prentice son Archibald (born in 1655) was a covenanter. I have also seen a page where Archibald, in Staine "fails to report conventicles". His wife Jean was "examined about the Enterkin attack". There is also mention of John Prentice which says "his heirs fail to take test". Does anyone know the story to this? Why wasn't the title of "Laird" handed down to son? Appreciate any help on this. Regards Kylie

Hello again, I already signed in in 2013 as I was really just getting interested in Genealogy at the time as I was retiring and had more time on my hands. I see that the Scottish Prentices of Carluke and the surrounding areas are rather thin on the ground although there are still many of us in the Central belt of Scotland. But I am stuck at John Prentice, The Laird of Stane born in 1620 and died in 1685. He was gifted the land at Stane (Stone) by Lockhart for saving his life in Battle and appears to be the first of the Prentices to be found in the area at that time. All other Prentices appear to come from the south of England, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk and many of those such as Valentine Prentice emigrated to the Americas in the first ships leaving for the new world. But back to John Prentice....... does anybody have any record of who his parents could be please? I know he was born in 1620 in Cambusnethan, Lanarkshire but can not find a record of his parents...... On the other hand in other lines of my family, not the Prentices unfortunately, I am a direct descendant of William the Conqueror and Robert The Bruce....... so there must be some good genes in the family!! Thank you and look forward to reading you all - if I can help in Scotland then I will do whatever I can!! Cynthia

I signed up with Ancestry a couple months ago & thought I'd surf a little to see if I could find info on PRENTICE. Coulda knocked me over with a feather when I found a whole site for our family! Think you may be seeing a lot of me. 😊 Btw, what's with all these financial ads jammin' up your guestbook? Must be very hard to run a board - you have my admiration & sympathies. I hope I can be of service.
