Just looked at your Rugg Family Tree... Adam and Eve Chava? Really? Check again.

Re: hanna-martha john rugg

Sharon820L — 2012-05-18 21:17:42Z

I looked in the Rugg Family Index and found an Adam married in Eden, Lamoille, Vermont, United States to Eve Chava? I'm a little confused as to the Adam and Eve you referred to.

Re: hanna-martha john rugg

Sharon820L — 2012-05-18 20:34:00Z

I am not a Rugg relative but I did a genealogy family tree for my cousin, who is Judy Rugg. Her father was John Jay Rugg. I was able to trace the Rugg line back to the Rugg and Prescott families. After that I went back through matriarchal lines to an Oswulf. This has been so long ago that I had completely forgotten my message to you. However, I would very much like to have access to your Rugg Family tree so I can show it to my cousin. Adam and Eve! that is quite an achievement to go back that far.
Please let me know if this is possible.

Washington R. Prescott, Maine (1892)

Cindy_Beane — 2012-04-28 00:53:01Z

I have no connection to this family, but found this while doing other research. This appeared in the Aug. 30, 1892 issue of the Rockland (Maine) Courier-Gazette in an article entitled “People Talked About – Well Known County Men Now Before the Public.”

“Washington R. Prescott – Republican Nominee for County Attorney – Washington R. Prescott was born in Rockland, Feb. 28, 1860, and received his early education in our public schools. In February, 1881, he entered the Rockland Commercial College, pursuing the regular course and graduated with credit. After graduation he remained in the college and took a special two years course in the higher English branches, purposing to study law. He became a skillful penman and an accomplished accountant.

“He studied law in the offices of Attorney General Littlefield and True P. Pierce, and was admitted to the bar in September, 1888.

“He was elected County Attorney by the Republicans in 1890 and the party point with pride to his record.

“Mr. Prescott is the compiler of a valuable work entitled ‘The Prohibitory Law of Maine,’ which was met with a large sale and received the high endorsement of the judges and legal fraternity of the state.”

Re: American connection

srheffington — 2012-04-07 00:39:33Z

Am not sure whether you will be at the given email address wihtin your message three years ago. My maternal grandfather, Albert Edward Prescott (born 1892 in Dover, England) might have been connected with your group. I can only go back to his grandparents, Henry Prescott (born abt 1839 in Dover) and his wife Martha Moyce Snell (born 1839 in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England). My great grandparents, Edward Albert Prescott and wife Elizabeth Ann Tucker took their two children, sons Albert and Douglas to Canada just before World War I in hopes for a better life. My great grandfather's brother William (born in 1859 in London) took his wife Sarah Griggs and their children to make a new life in Australia. My great grandfather's brother William died in 1929 in Pran, Australia.

Look forward to hearing from you,

Re: Lannie H Prescott

KatieBeasley20 — 2012-03-25 21:53:19Z

Hello, I just wanted to help you avoid some confusion. I saw Kay Kazmir's response to this query. The George Washington Prescott that she is referring to is not the same George Washington Prescott who died in August of 1836 in Tarrant County, Texas. A lot of people confuse these two men, and I have noted many family trees on here that have birth and death records attached to the wrong man. Your George Washington Prescott was the son of Aaron Prescott and Arzula Mae Feazle Prescott. They settled in San Saba County, Texas and raised a large family there. I only happen to have this information because I got confused between the two men early on in my research.

The other GW Prescott was my great grandfather. He was born on Feb. 20, 1874, in Pilot Point, Denton County, Texas to Henry Precott and Anne Shannon Collins Prescott. This George settled in Fort Worth, Tarrant County, Texas, and raised a large family there. He died on August 13, 1836. I guess a lot of researchers find these two records on my George and make assumptions. The Texas Death Index doesn't list anything but a name, date, and county, but I have a copy of George's death certificate which clearly states that his parents are Henry and Anne. I need to scan it and post it, but at the moment it's at my parents' house in Fort Worth.

I hope this information is helpful. I think I offended a couple of other researchers when I tried to clarify between the two men. Good luck!

Zachariah Prescott

LaurelGorman — 2012-03-25 16:53:43Z

Zachariah Prescoate married Luvenia Martin on 26 Jan 1854 in Escambia County, Florida.
He lists his place of birth as North Carolina 1805-1814

Zach was in Florida to fight in Indian Wars. He had at least two brothers/cousins with him that made trip up to Franklinton, Louisiana. There was one brother killed in Louisiana fighting off black soldiers who were disbanded after Civil War and had no place to go. Their mother also died in Louisiana.

Zach and John H. Prescott continued the trip and ended up in Mississippi.

I do not know the name of the brother killed in the fight in Louisiana. Still working on it.

The family that ended up in Mississippi stayed in contact with one another, named their children after one another, etc.

Descendant Nelson Abner Prescott, Sr., born 12 Apr 1888, died 1 Aug 1991, visited Franklinton often to see cousins there. He was my great grandfather and I have many source documents, first person interviews, etc.

His son, Nelson Abner Prescott, Jr., who is still alive at age 99.

Re: Prescotts from Epping/Kingston NH

RichardPrescott19 — 2012-01-30 23:19:45Z

I am also a descendant of the James Prescott/Mary Boulter family line. I frequently see people continue to cite the "James Prescott" English roots published in William Prescott's "Prescott Memorial" book as fact. IT IS NOT ACCURATE, and to my knowledge no one has yet been able to document a definitive tie to James' specific English parents or town of origin. James' possible relationship to John Prescott of Massachusetts has also not been proven. James arrived in Hampton, N.H. in 1665, but no one knows when he actually arrived in America or which ship he came over from England on. There have been serious efforts to discover his actual English ties, but no accurate published results that I'm aware of. There is at least one on-going Prescott DNA project that I hope gets enough James Prescott descendant samples to attempt to establish an accurate English connection. Until then, be very wary of accepting inaccurate family connections based on bad information posted on the web.

Re: William Prescott (B. cir 1746) and his son Elisha Prescott

prescott17 — 2012-01-28 21:30:58Z

I am also from the William/Elisha line, but through Elisha's son Horton then Horton's son William Fremont. This is all documented in the Prescott Memorial published in 1870 and available online in a searchable scanned format on Google books. It is also available as a .pdf download at the same site. I would sugest you download it as soon as possible before it dissapears.

William appears on pg 259 under reference number 296 and Elisha on pg 307, ref. 991.

I have visited the Vershire Center cemetary and have pictures somewhere of the graves there. Also I have visited the Prescott farm site in Vershire as recently as 1991 or so. I'm not sure if this would have been William's farm or not. The place had been sold out of the family by that time and burned then rebuilt on the foundation. My father remembered spending time as a child there in the 1920s, so it probably belonged to his grandfather William Fremont (Frem) at that time.

I also have a "2nd cousin" (Dad's first cousin) still living that may remember the place.

Hope this helps a little,

Tom Prescott

Re: Prescott family in Louisana or surrounding states

LaurelGorman — 2011-12-21 22:58:34Z

Zachariah Prescott and Luvenia Martin were married in Escambia County, Florida on 26 Jan 1854.
Their first child W. Franklin Prescott was born 18 Oct 1854 in Florida.
Their second child was Eliza Carolina Prescott was born March 1857 in Mississippi.
Their third child, John Pinkney Prescott, was born 10 April 1859, in Mississippi
Their fourth child, Gatsey Prescott, was born 29 Jan 1861, in Mississippi.

In 1870, Zach and family were in Franklinton, Washington County, Louisiana.

In 1880, they were back in Marion County, Mississippi.

The death certificate of son John Pinkney Prescott states his mothers maiden name was Ollie Louvenia Martin.

The death certifcate of daughter Gatsey Prescott Beard states her mothers maiden name was Luvenia Martin.

Given that Zach Prescott was 40 years old at the time of his marriage to Louvenia, it is not unreasonable to consider he may have been married at least once before.

I was doing some researches on William Lloyd Prescott's descendants and i came across your posts and I would like to contribute a little of what I know.

William Lloyd Prescott moved to Manihiki and met Anne a.k.a Matangaro. Matangaro had a sister, they were originally from Tahiti but lived in Manihiki and that's the only information besides what you've already mentioned that I have any knowledge of.

William Lloyd Prescott had 2 children with Matangaro. A son, George Prescott and a daughter, Louise-Ann Prescott.
Louise-Ann married a Samoan matai and had Samoan descendants who are now all over the world.

As for my family and I, we're descendants of George Prescott. George Prescott married Lesieli Uhi. Their oldest child was Luseane Prescott who married Manase Kaho. Luseane & Manase's eldest daughter was 'Amelia Tupoulouveve Kulukulutea Kaho (Nana Pou) who married Tangaki-taulupe-ki-folaha Tonga (Taulupe). Nana Pou & Taulupe's 3rd daughter is 'Uheina Tonga and she married Ue'ikaetau Kalaniuvalu. 'Uheina and Ue'ikaetau are my grandparents.

Hoping to meet some Prescott family :)

I am from this line also. I have my family Bible started in the 1850's by Stephen Prescott(he descends from the line of.

My line is Stephen Prescott b 1763 Epping NH and married Rachel Rundlett b. 1764 Bedford NH?

There son James married Lavinia Hussey(1st marriage) and then to Hannah Edwards mother of my great great grandmother Addie Frances Prescott.

I have photos of the pages Stephen did fill in with names/dob's/marriages and deaths of his children. He started it, it was then passed to daughter Addie Frances, when her and her husband John Baker "sold" their home in Newton, NH to their eldest grand-daughter it sat in the Attic for many years. When my Aunt(whom inherited the home from the eldest g-daughter) sold the home before moving about 5-6 yrs ago, my mother and father TOOK the Bible so it didnt get thrown out.....Inside I found letters to and from Maine between Stephen and family....also have pictures of those letters also some post cards from 1800's all still legible, have had fun deciphering the neat lettering(quill and ink)

Thank you for the information posted here. Some of it I have known for a long time, but a lot was new to me. I am a direct descendant of Mary Boulter and James Prescott of New Hampshire. I believe that would make me a distant relative of yours. I was born in Quincy, Massachusetts but now live in St. Augustine, Florida. I would be interested in any other information that might turn up on these Prescotts. I want to pass all of this along to my eight grandchildren before I'm gone.

PRESCOTT

The name Prescott is of Saxon origin, and is composed by the contraction of two Saxon words, priest and cottage, and therefore signifies priest cottage, or priest's house. The name Prescott has long been known in England. It was given to a street and lane or place in the ancient city of London. Prescott is also the name of a market town in Lancashire, England. Orders of knighthood were conferred upon some branches of the family, and they were among the nobility of England. The arms of the Prescotts of Digby, county of Lincoln, England, from whom the Quincy (Massachusetts) Prescotts are descended, is described in the language of heraldry by Mr. Burke as follows: "Ermine, a chevron sable on a chief of the second, two leopards heads or. Crest, out of a ducal coronet or, a bear's head and neck or, bristled of the first." The owls signify a prudent caution with patient endurance and a vigilant watchfulness especially by night. The owl is Minerva's bird, and was borne by the ancient Athenians at their armorial feasts. It is not possible to trace the direct lineage of the Prescotts who came to America farther back than the time of Queen Elizabeth, yet it is well known that Prescott was known as an ancient family in the town of Prescott aforesaid, from whom descended James Prescott, of Standish in Lancashire, one of the gentlemen who were recognized by an order of Queen Elizabeth dated 1564 to keep in readiness horsemen and armor. James Prescott married a daughter of Roger Standish, Esq., of Standish, and sister of Ralph Standish. Their oldest child of six was James who married Alice Molineaux, and who for his bravery and military prowess and achievements was created lord of the manor of Digby in Lincolnshire, and had new arms granted to him already described. He became known as Sir James Prescott. Hi died March 1, 1683, leaving a son John and a daughter Annie; the second son of this John was James, and it was his son James, baptized 1642-43, who emigrated to New England and settled at Hampton, New Hampshire. All the Prescotts in this country who can trace their ancestors of that name back to the revolution are believed to be descendants of James Prescott, of Standish. Colonel William Prescott, a native of Groton, Massachusetts, and the hero of Bunker Hill, was six generations removed.

(I) James Prescott, from whom the Quincy (Massachusetts) Prescotts are descended, came from Digby, Lincolnshire, England, in 1665, and settled in Hampton, New Hampshire, which then and for some time after was comprised within the "Old County of Norfolk, Massachusetts." He was admitted into the church, and in 1678 became a freeman. He was a farmer, and a man of integrity and influence, possessing good sense, a sound and discriminating mind, and his judgment was much sought - a man in whose opinion the people placed the most complete reliance. In 1694 he became an extensive landholder by grant of Lieutenant-Governor Weber, to which large additions were made later. He married, 1668, Mary, daughter of Nathaniel and Grace Boulter, born in Exeter, New Hampshire, May 15, 1648. Their children were: 1. Joshua, born March 1, 1669. 2. James, Jr., see forward. 3. Rebecca, born April 15, 1673, died November 9, 1723. 4. Jonathan, born August 6, 1675, died January 6, 1755. 5. Mary, born June 11, 1677, died 1780. 6. Abigail, (7) Patience, (twins), born November 19, 1679. 8. John, born November 19, 1681, died 1761. 9. Nathaniel, born November 19, 1683, died February 26, 1771. James Prescott died November 25, 1728, and his widow October 4, 1735.

(II) James Prescott, Jr., son of James and Mary (Boulter) Prescott, was born September 1, 1671. He was a farmer, and known as Sergeant Prescott, probably from a service at Port Royal in 1701. He was a constable, and church deacon. He married first, March 1, 1695, Maria Marston; second, 1746, Abigail Gore Sanborn. Children, all by first wife: 1. Jeremiah, born December 8, 1695. 2. Samuel, see forward. 3. Elisha, born March 18, 1699, died 1781. 4. Sarah, born January 20, 1701. 5. Lucy, born February 6, 1703, died March 9, 1723. 6. Ebenezer, born December 3, 1705, died 1750. 7. James, born December 2, 1708, died 1734. 8. Rebecca, born September 27, 1711.

(III) Samuel Prescott, son of James and Maria (Marston) Prescott, born March 14, 1697, died June 12, 1759. He served several years as selectman and town clerk, and held other offices at Hampton Falls, New Hampshire, and was one of the scouting party "above the frontier." He married, December 17, 1717, Mary Sanborn. They were admitted to the church. Children: 1. Jeremiah, born September 29, 1718, died about 1781. 2. Samuel, born January 9, 1721. 3. John, see forward. 4. Major Joseph, born November 17, 1725, died April 8, 1815. 5. Major William, born June 21, 1728, died September 28, 1811. Four of these sons grew to manhood and participated in the revolutionary war.

(IV) John Prescott, son of Samuel and Mary (Sanborn) Prescott, born December 12, 1723, died May 2, 1785. He settled in Epping, New Hampshire, 1745; composed one of the company raised and commanded by Captain Jonathan Prescott for the purpose of capturing Louisburg from the French, which was accomplished in that year. He signed the Association Test in 1776, which read as follows: "By reason of the above resolutions of the Honorable Continental Congress and to show our determination in joining our American Brethren in defending the lives, liberties and prosperity of the inhabitants of the United Colonies, We the subscribers do hereby solemnly engage and promise, that we will to the utmost of our power at the risk of our lives and fortunes with arms oppose the hostile proceedings of the British fleets and armies against the United American Colonies." He married first, 1786, Hannah Rundlett, of Epping, New Hampshire; second, Rebecca, widow of Samuel Tilton, and daughter of Hon. Benjamin Prescott. Hannah (Rundlett) Prescott was born November 2, 1728, died March 16, 1776, daughter of Jonathan and Rachel Rundlett. Children of John and Hannah Prescott: 1. Jonathan, born May 3, 1748, died November 6, 1844. 2. Rachel, born March 4, 1750. 3. Mary, born August 27, 1751, died August 9, 1797. 4. Lucy, born September 15, 1753. 5. Samuel, see forward. 6. John, born August 7, 1757, died March 31, 1839. 7. Dudley, born July 9, 1758, died August 3, 1815. 8. Hannah, born July 17, 1763, died July 1, 1751. 9. Leah, born November 22, 1765.

He was a farmer, a militia captain, and one of the organizers of the First Universalist Church of Quincy, on March 10, 1831, serving on the first board of the parish committee, and afterward a deacon. He married, May 1, 1825, Abigail Hayden Marsh, born in Quincy, 1804, daughter of Moses Reed and Sarah (Nightingale) Marsh, who for many years lived on Hancock street, on the site of the house of Dr. John A. Gordon (1908). He built one of the first houses on Spear street, the estate including the present residence of his son, George W. Prescott. Mr. and Mrs. Prescott observed their golden wedding anniversary in 1875, and also passed their fifty-fifth anniversary. Mr. Prescott lived to be over eighty years of age. Mrs. Prescott died November 17, 1882, aged seventy-eight years. Children: 1. William Gardner, born February 23, 1826, in Quincy; married, July 14, 1855, Lydia Marsh Spear, born 1830, daughter of Lemuel and Valeria Spear.

(VII) George Washington Prescott, son of Abram and Abigail H. (Marsh) Prescott, was born in Dracut, December 13, 1834. He has long been a prominent figure in Massachusetts journalism, and is one of the oldest newspaper publishers in the state. He came to Quincy when two years of age with his parents, and has been a resident ever since. He was educated in the public schools of Quincy, and May 2, 1853, entered the newspaper business as apprentice boy in the office of the "Quincy Patriot," then published and edited by the late John A. Green, one of the influential newspaper men of his time. Mr. Green died in 1861, and the newspaper was continued by his wife, Mrs. M. Elizabeth Green, who appointed Mr. Prescott business manager, which position he held until 1869, when he purchased a one-half interest in the paper, and a copartnership was formed with Mrs. Green, under the firm name of Green & Prescott, which lasted more than a quarter of a century. The year following Mr. Green's death was a trying one for many country newspapers as well as large city journals. Owing to the civil war it is estimated that nearly a fourth of the newspapers of Massachusetts were obliged to suspend. Close attention to work, coupled with energy and perseverance, enabled him to pull the paper through, and from that time the paper began to prosper. As business increased the office was added to until today it is as complete a newspaper office as can be found in any of the Massachusetts cities. In 1878 the firm started the "Braintree Observer," now under the management of his son, Eben Prescott, and printed at the "Patriot" office in Quincy, and when Quincy became a city the "Quincy Daily Ledger" was started by the same firm. In 1894 Mr. Prescott purchased Mrs. Green's interest in the paper, and since that time the paper has been carried on by himself with the able assistance of his son, Frank Fisher Prescott. The "Patriot" was enlarged three times during the copartnership, and each time with good results, and in the meantime its circulation was increased three-fold. As the business expanded from year to year, so the demand became greater for presses and type. Cylinder presses were purchased and later an engine and boiler to run them. In 1906 steam was replaced by electric power. The financial success of the "Patriot" has been largely due to the energy, push and close personal attention given to the business by Mr. Prescott.

During the more than fifty years he has been connected with the establishment he has scarcely lost a day by sickness. Mr. Prescott is one of the oldest members of the Suburban Press Association, and has served as one of its vice-presidents for a number of years. He was one of the men who started the movement which resulted in the forming of the Massachusetts Press Association, and has been one of its vice-presidents for many years. He has served as a delegate to the National Press conventions as a Massachusetts and Suburban representative of the association. On May 18, 1903, Mr. Prescott celebrated the semi-centennial of his connection with the "Quincy Patriot," on which occasion he was presented with a handsome gold mounted cane by the members of the Suburban Press Association as a token of the high esteem and appreciation of his long and valuable service in newspaper work. Fifty editors of this notable body visited him at the office of the "Patriot" and "Daily Ledger" and extended to him their hearty congratulations. Mr. Prescott is an active member of the Universalist church of Quincy, having held numerous offices, such as trustee, chairman of parish committee, clerk, etc. He is a member of the Granite City Club, having been a trustee for a number of years. He is a director of the Co-operative Bank of Quincy, and is interested in other enterprises. Mr. Prescott married, May 8, 1859, Susannah Abigail Fisher, born in Dedham, Massachusetts, October 29, 1836, daughter of Joshua and Eliza Wiggin (Furnald) Fisher. (See Fisher family). Children: 1. Frank Fisher, see forward. 2. Etta Marsh. 3. Annie Lincoln. 4. Eben, see forward. 5. Alice Keith.

(VIII) Frank Fisher Prescott, son of George Washington and Susannah Abigail (Fisher) Prescott, was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, September 4, 1860. His first teacher at the public schools was Miss Julia E. Underwood, of the Coddington school. He could set type before he was graduated from the Coddington in 1874; was graduated from the Quincy high school in June, 1877, when Harrison A. Keith was principal, and the school was located on High School avenue, the exercises being held in the town hall. He worked at the printers' trade in the offices of the "Dorchester Beacon, Quincy Patriot, Marblehead Messenger" and "Marblehead Statesman;" was later a reporter on the "Quincy Patriot," and when the "Quincy Daily Ledger" was established in 1889 he became the city editor, and in 1908 was general manager. He was brought up in the Universalist faith, attending the First Universalist church, founded by his grandfather, Abram Prescott, but after his marriage attended Bethany Congregational church. He was admitted to Rural Lodge of Masons, at Quincy, in 1881, and joined the Odd Fellows at Marblehead, in 1882; became a charter member of Mount Wollaston Lodge of Odd Fellows, at Quincy, in 1884, and was the first recording secretary; in 1908 was the oldest past grand of the lodge. He is also a member of the Quincy Historical Society, Quincy Board of Trade, Citizen's Association, Massachusetts Press Association, Wollaston Yacht Club, and other organizations, and has served on the board of trustees of the Thomas Crane Public Library, the Republican state committee for three years, also the senatorial and city committees. He was married, at Hooksett, New Hampshire, October 27, 1886, to Fannie Augusta, daughter of John Woodman and Eliza (Hurlbutt) Prescott, of Hooksett, New Hampshire. (See forward for ancestors of Fannie Augusta Prescott). She attended normal school at Salem, Massachusetts, and later taught school at Hooksett, Bow, Pembroke and Pittsfield, New Hampshire. Since marriage she has resided in Quincy, Massachusetts, and is interested in the Quincy Women's Club, Daughters of the Revolution, Bethany Congregational church, and the King's Daughters. Their children: 1. Carl Fisher, born August 25, 1887. 2. Albert Winslow, February 15, 1889. 3. Henry Clark, March 10, 1892.

(VIII) Eben Prescott, second son of George Washington and Susannah Abigail (Fisher) Prescott, of Quincy, Massachusetts, was born in Quincy, Massachusetts, August 6, 1867. After a public school education he entered the employ of a wholesale hardware house in Boston. About 1898 he became local editor and general manager of the "Braintree Observer," published at Braintree, Massachusetts, by George W. Prescott & Sons. By close attention to business and interest in public affairs he put the newspaper on a good financial basis and largely increased the circulation, making it a welcome visitor in nearly every home of the town. He is an active member of All Soul's Church, the Cochato Club, Puritan Lodge of Odd Fellows, Penniman School Association, and one of the trustees of the Braintree Savings Bank. He married, at Braintree, September 19, 1893. Helen Arnold, daughter of George Henry and Mary Perkins (Allen) Arnold. Children: 1. George Arnold, born February 1, 1896. 2. Helen Louise, October 18, 1898. 3. Eleanor, December 1, 1902.
