Notes par Valentine Prentice Jr

Source: Binney book, updated by Joe Dewald 1997.

After Valentine's death in 1634, his widow, Alice, then married John Watson of Roxbury and she and John Watson had at least six additional children. Her last child was born in 1644.

The Prentice immigrant ancestor was Valentine PRENTICE (b. abt 1598 Felsted, England), and his wife Alice Bredda (b. abt1600, England).

Alice and Valentine were married at Chelmsford, England, in 1626 and were members of the congregation there at
least through the birth of their third child, Geremiah, on 9 April, 1630. There appears good evidence that the
Prentice family may have been followers of the Puritan minister and religous leader, Thomas Hooker.

The Encyclopedia Brittanica contains an article reporting that Hooker came to the Church at Chelsmford in 1628 in
the capacity of "guest Lecturer." He was not the regular minister, but this idea of having a lecturer, preaching fire
and brimstone had become very popular among the Puritan churches at the time. It so happened that Hooker's
assistant and pupil at the time was John Eliot. King Charles I was annoyed by this Puritan practice, and made it
illegal for anyone to preach in the church except the ordained minister. When the King's agents came to arrest
Hooker, they found that he had fled in the night, taking with him several of his devotees to Holland.

John Eliot remained behind, and it is likely that he continued in his mentor's stead, if not lecturing, at least
counseling members of the Chelmsford congregation. When the Mass. Bay Colony formed and established Boston
in 1630, Eliot decided to relocate, and he booked passage (on the ship, "Lyon") taking many more of the
Chelmsford congregation with him in 1631. It would be reasonable to infer that it was because of Eliot's decision to
relocate that Valentine Prentice and his family decided to join with Eliot and accompany him.

One of the Prentice children died during the voyage to Boston, but son John Prentice survived. The family settled
briefly in Boston. John Eliot also settled there, and about 6 months later relocated to Roxbury, MA. The Valentine
Prentice family moved there also, and at about the same time. This would further evidence the idea that the
Prentice family were Eliot followers. In 1633 Valentine died there. Wife, Alice later remarried to a man named John
Watson." (Note: John Watson arrived on the "Lyon" on 16 Sep 1632.

VALENTINE PRENTICE

ORIGIN: Probably Chelmsford, Essex
MIGRATION: 1631
FIRST RESIDENCE: Roxbury

CHURCH MEMBERSHIP: Admitted to Roxbury church as member #52, in 1632: "He came to this land in
the year 1631 & joined to the church in the year 1632. He brought but one child to the land, his son John, &
buried another at sea" [RChR 76].
FREEMAN: 7 August 1632 [MBCR 1:367].

BIRTH: By about 1601 based on apparent date of marriage.
DEATH: Roxbury before 3 April 1634 (date of widow's remarriage).
MARRIAGE: "Valentine Prentys" married "Alice B[____]" (remainder of surname illegible) in Chelmsford,
Essex, on 29 June 1626, and this is probably the marriage of the immigrant couple [TAG 10:15, 41:216-17].
She was admitted to Roxbury church immediately after her husband, as member #53: "Allice Prentise the
wife of Valentine Prentise, after her husband's death she was married to John Watson of this church" [RChR
76]. JOHN WATSON and Alice Prentiss married at Roxbury 3 April 1634 [RVR MS 128].
CHILDREN:

i JOHN, b. say 1627; m. (1) about 1651 Hester Nichols; m. (2) by 1683 Esther Nichols; m.
(3) by contract dated 12 June 1685 Rebecca Parker. (See TAG 34:81-89 for a detailed account
of his wives and children; the first two wives were first cousins.)

ii Child, buried at sea 1631 [RChR 76].

COMMENTS: Valentine Prentice was almost certainly a passenger on the Lyon on its second 1631 voyage,
arriving in Massachusetts Bay on 2 November. This ship brought Reverend JOHN ELIOT and other
passengers who would settle at Roxbury, many of them from the western part of Essex, not far from
Chelmsford.
Both Savage and Pope note that an Alice Prentice died at Concord on 8 March 1643, but, other than the
given name, there is no evidence that she was related to Valentine Prentice [CoVR 3]. Presumably Savage's
statement that he "perhaps had one child born here" is based on a guess that this Alice who died in Concord
was his daughter.
