General Notes: Husband - Thomas Prentice
This is an old family name in England and Scotland, and is found as both Prentice and Prentiss. The Prentices of Uniontown, Fayette County, Pennsylvania, spring from a Scotch emigrant, who came to Americqa when a young man and married in Philadelphia a young lady of that city, leaving a son, Thomas.
He grew to manhood in his native city, and in 1817 settled in Uniontown, Pennsylvania. He was a hard worker, a good business man, temperate and abstemious in all his habits. He helped to construct the National Road and after its completion kept two or three teams running on it all the time. He hauled a large amount of coal and later engaged in the manufacture of brick used in the construction of the older churches and brick buildings of Uniontown. He was also a prosperous contractor.
