General Notes: Husband - [Ancestor] Prescott

---

The name of Prescott is of very ancient origin, and is composed of two Saxon words "Priest" and "Cottage." The ancestry has been traced back in the English records to Alfred the Great, and the earliest of the Saxon kings. It is certain that they belonged to the nobility of England. There is preserved by the descendants in America a family coat-of-arms, which was conferred upon one of the remote ancestors for his bravery, courage and successful enterprise as a man and military officer. This coat-of-arms must have been very old, as it was used by the Prescotts of Theobald Park, Hertfordshire, Barts, and by those of the ancient families of that name in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Among the most marked traits of this race, which have remained the same in each succeeding generation for centuries, are independence and great force of character, executive ability, integrity, tenacity of purpose, and quickness to think and act in emergency.
