NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA PRENTICES IN 1850 AND LATER CENSUS RECORDS
We are attempting to identify a number of folks named PRENTICE, PRENTIS and PRENTISS who appear in the 1850, and later, North Dakota and South Dakota census records.Since both were originally known simply as Dakota Territory, both areas are grouped into this single article with locations designated ND, SD or simply DAK depending on how the area is designated in the census record.
Below is a table showing those persons who we have yet to identify. For convenience the single spelling, PRENTICE, is used.
Where there are entries in the far right column, we have identified their roots. If there is no entry there, we need your help in identifying their their roots. And, whether or not we have identified their roots, we need your help in identifying their descendants.

As indicated in Fn. 1, he might be the Charles A. Prentiss, age 2, shown in the 1850 Oregon, Dane, WI census, son of John B. Prentiss and his wife, Catherine. He also appears in the 1920 Vermillion, Clay, SD census. See the Fall 1998 Prentice Newsletter article. There is also Fn. 5 James D.

Fn. 7 Anna, John's wife, may be surnamed Hewitt. A Minnie Hewitt, called John's sister in law, was living with them in the 1900 census. See also Fn. 15. Fn. 8 John H. Prentis appears in the 1880 Saginaw, Saginaw, MI census. He is the son of James H. and Mary C. Prentiss. James, b. c. 1847 in OH, may be the son of John and Amanda in the 1850 OH census.

Prentis," b. c. 1874, who appears in the 1880 Dakota census, above, and in the 1900 Correctional, Woodbury, IA census. He is the son of Charles E. Prentis (b.c. 1847).
