From Linda Mans 1 May 2000 -
She has seen the gravestone of a Mr. John Prentis which may be the John Prentice m. to Hester Nichols. The location is in the Ancient Burial Grounds in New London CT, however, the ground has grown up over the dates and all it says is "Mr. John Prentis" It rests between two bench-like monuments that are unreadable.
There is also a gravestone of a John Prentis son of John Prentice, Esquire and Sarah Prentice. He died 22 Nov 1780 at the age of 34 years. Next to him is another grave marker, but where the date is the stone has been broken off.

For further information on the Prentice family the State Library in Hartford , CT should be consulted.

From a copy of C. J. F. Binney's 1852 Edition of his PRENTICE book. (From Joe DeWald)

Not surprisingly, since Binney was a descendant of Henry Prentice of Cambridge, MA, 60
percent of the 6" x 9" book (147 pages of 243) is devoted to descendants of Henry Prentice.
Valentine Prentice and his descendants have only 10 pages. Thomas Prentice of Newton, MA
did better; he had 50 pages.

It is a valuable research tool and will greatly aid our research for at least three reasons:

First, it contains some material and anecdotes that were edited out of the 1883 Edition,
apparently because of space limitations. For example, the 1852 Edition mentions at pg. 5 that
Valentine Prentice's son, John, was fined 5 Pounds in 1664 for notching a colt's tail. However,
John's status in the community was such that, at a General Assembly held at Hartford, CT on 13
Oct 1664, John Winthrop, Esq., Governor, and Major Mason, Deputy Governor, asked that
the Court abate half the fine and that he pay 10 shillings for his petition.

From Horry County Historical Society - Biography:

Frink Paved the Way for Horry Settlement

From Unknown Newspaper (No date available)

When the King of England purchased the rights to the Carolinas from Lords Proprietors in 1729, a plan was formed to attract settlers to this large unsettled land. The King's council offered 50 acres to each man, woman and child, including slaves, whowould come and settle the land. The scheme worked and settlers came, not only from England and Europe, but from other American colonies.

Nicholas Frink (Dec. 17, 1696 to Jul 9 1749) was a son of John Frink and his wife, Hannah Prentice of New London, Conn.where many of the early Frinks had settled. The Father of Hannah was John Prentice, a sea captain, supplying the coastal waters between New England and the Carolinas.

He was probably influential in attracting Nicholas Frink to the Carolinas. Nicholas came here in 1734 with his large family and settled on what is today known as Little River Neck.

Some other settlers coming from from New England, kinsmen of Nicholas Frink, included James Minor who had a grant for 375 acres on Cedar Creek and Boriah Grant who received an adjoining tract of 300 acres in a grant dated Jan 18,1733. It is on this property that the modern developments known as Cedar Creek Village and Lightkeepers Village are situated. Cherry Grove Beach had been known as Minor's Island for this James Minor.

Nicholas Frink's numerous descendants intermarried with the Gause, Gore, Bellamy, Vereen and many other families whose names are prominent in Horry and Brunswick counties today.

A great-grandson of Nicholas Frink was Samuel Frink (1758 to 1862) who had a large number of slaves on his plantation, which was located North of Calabash River. Some years ago, I led a group of descendants (C B Beery writer of this article) through a dense forest to visit the family cemetery. In recent years, the Pearl golf course has been built on this property.

Samuel Frink married Elizabeth Bellune, daughter of Daniel Bellune and his wife, Mary Bossier and they became the parents of 12 sons and daughters. One of the sons was Lorenzo Frink who became a prominent doctor and made his home in "Hickory Hall," which was built prior to 1812. This old house is still standing and may be seen today in Calabash.

Dr. Lorenzo Frink later made his home in Southport, N.C. where he is buried. The late movie actor, Joseph Cotton (born 1905) was a great-grandson of Dr. Lorenzo Frink. Dr. Frink gave Hickory Hall to his son, Samuel Frink who sold it together with many personal effects in 1875. Mr. J.H. Lay of Olyphic, N.C., (Columbus County) said his Father attended the sale and bought a wagon load of farming utensils and household goods and among the goods was a collection of books from Dr. Frink's library, including his medical books.

About 25 years ago, a Frink descendant, the late Marshall L. Shepherd of Raleigh, N.C., visited me and asked to be shown some of the old Frink plantations. Later, he told of visiting Mr. Lay at Olyphic who showed him the old house once occupied by Col. John Gore, which was then being used as a storage barn.

Little River Neck was early known as "Frinks Neck" for the family of Nicholas Frink. Old land grants and some deeds in the Horry County records refer to properties there as being in "Frink's Neck". A map of 940 acres of land made Feb. 15, 1808, by Thomas Hemingway, on Little River and Cedar Creek, shows "Frink's Neck".
