Stephen Prentice of Staffordshire, England
Fall 2001 and Revised 6 Jun 2001

---

Edward Prentice , discussed in our Spring 2001 article, lived for a time in Rushall, Staffordshire, England and had children Job and Mary born there in 1711 and 1712. In reviewing the IGI, we also found the following family:

1. Stephen Prentice who m. Ann Reynolds on 2 Feb 1663 and had the following children christened at Rushall:

• Stephen Prentice, chr. 2 Feb 1663, Rushall. . . . . . . . . . [2]
• Eleanor Prentice, chr. 21 Mar 1664, Rushall.
• Dorothy Prentice, chr. 2 Apr 1668, Rushall.

2. Stephen Prentice, chr. 2 Feb 1663, Rushall. He is probably the Stephen who m. Eleanor and had:

• Stephen Prentice, chr. 24 Jun 1682, Rushall. . . . . . . . [3]

3. Stephen Prentice, chr. 24 Jun 1682, Rushall. He is probably the Stephen who m. Mary and had the following children:

• Anne Prentice, chr. 28 Aug 1709, Rushall. She is probably the Ann Prentice who m. Thomas Green on 21 Sep 1733 in Rushall.
• John Prentice, chr. 7 Nov 1711, Rushall.

And, although the town is different, Walsall lying only about 2 miles to the SW, it is probably the same Stephen Prentice and Mary who also shown in the IGI as the parents of:

• Edward Prentice, b. 14 Jan 1719, Saint Matthew, Walsall, Stafford, England.
• Dorothey Prentice, b. 12 Oct 1721, Saint Matthew, Walsall, Stafford, England.

The change of location from Rushall to Walsall also parallels the change in the article on Edward Prentice, mentioned above.
