California Prentices in 1850 and Later Census
The 1850 and later California Census contains the following individuals who we have not yet been able to identify. For convenience, spellings of the PRENTICE, PRENTIS and PRENTISS surnames have been consolidated into a single surname spelling. Comments references, such as 278/58, are to the page and number of individuals in our new PRENTICE book.
Since persons living the same county are often related, we have also grouped the persons by County of Residence as well as by Place of Birth
