Fall 1998 and Revised 12 Dec 2008
Update of 12 Dec 2008: Also living in the family is Rhoda M. Prentiss, b. c. 1798, VT, probably Herbert's mother, and probably a widow. She is almost certainly Rhoda M. Hill, b. 18 Sep 1797 and wife of Joseph Prentis who is 381/35 in our Prentice book. While, the book, does not show a son named Herbert, there is a son, Frederick, which matches Binney's information. It appears that the census record was simply an errouneous transcription of Frederick's name as Herbert
The 1860 Georgia, Franklin Co., VT census identifies the following family:
1. Herbert Prentiss, b. c. 1828, VT. His occupation was that of a Mason. 1860 census in Georgia, Franklin Co., VT. Not in 1870 or 1880 census.
He m. Catherine Prentiss, b. c. 1833, VT Childen:
- Mary Prentiss, b. c. 1856, VT. At home in 1860.
- Cary Prentiss, b. c. 1859, VT. At home in 1860. Not in 1870 or 1880 census.
