2/23/2011 Descendants of John Prentice, the Laird… Descendants of John PRENTICE, the Laird of Stane
Information about my Prentice connection is rather sparse, so in addition to examining the early parish registers and Sasines, I have made several educated guesses. This genealogy is six generations. For information about more recent generations, visit < www.karen.blacksgenealogy.com > This genealogy is intended for personal use only. Please contact me at [email protected] if you have anything to contribute.
Generation No. 1 1. John1 PRENTICE died Abt. 1660. Notes for John PRENTICE: Early marriage registers for Cambusnethan, Lanark, Scotland, confirm several Prentice heads of families during the mid-1600s, including Henry who married Janet Smallie, Robert and "Prenteis, John...last servitor to James Waddel,in Middest of Wadstone, par. of Cambusnethan, 5 Feb 1658." (Source: Commisariot of Glasgow 1547...1800). Henry, Robert and John may have been brothers.
The Prentices probably came from England to Scotland with Oliver Cromwell. John Prentice, later known as the Laird of Stone (Stane), resided in Cambusnethan, Scotland. This "John Prentice...by extraordinary prowess and personal bravery, having saved the life of (John) Lockhart, one of Cromwell's generals, was by him presented with the lands of Thorn (in Carluke, Lanark, Scotland), at nominal quit-rent, as an acknowledgment of his gratitude. He afterwards held a subordinate office at Dunkirk (France), when that important fortress was reluctantly yielded up by Lockhart at the restoration, so that he was among the last who submitted to Charles the Second..." (Source: The Life of Alexander Reid, Written by Himself and Edited by Archibald Prentice, His Great-Grandson, 3rd ed., Manchester, England, c.1822, rep. 1829; extracted from Archibald Prentice's footnote, p.33.)
Other sources also refer to the Laird of Thorn: "During the French/Spanish Wars of Succession, Oliver Cromwell, Lord Protector, sent, in June 1658, an expedition of 6,000 veteran English soldiers, under Marshall Turenne, and they defeated the Spanish in the Battle of the Dunes, capturing the port of Dunkirk, which was then put under siege by the Spanish. From what we are told in the Black Book, Sir John Prentice played an important role in this campaign, ending up as Deputy Governor of the Fortress of Dunkirk. He died shortly after the Siege of Dunkirk, so we estimate his death as about 1660. We have been unable to discover his marriage, but it appears that Sir John Prentice had at least one son: James Prentice [H.1] [Chart 19A], born about 1630. He did not long survive his father, so we estimate the latter's death as about 1665." Source: [Normand, William John (1831- 1913), Black Book: An Account of the Normand, Hill, Prentice and Russell Families [Christopher Normand < [email protected] > (Surrey, England).
The property referred to as Thorn and one known as Thornmuir, are now in ruins. A place called Thorn Cottages still exists in the rural area near Carluke, Lanarkshire, Scotland. On a windswept day in August 1999, we visited Thorn, but the road to Thornmuir resembled the route to Sleeping Beauty's castle and we were not equipped to hack our way through.
Children of John PRENTICE are: + 2 i. Richard2 PRENTICE, born Abt. 1658. + 3 ii. Archibald PRENTICE, born Bet. 1655 - 1659 in Staine, Scotland; died Abt. 1688. 4 iii. William PRENTICE, born Abt. 1660. Notes for William PRENTICE: According to William Normand's Black Book: An Account of the Normand, Hill, Prentice and Russell Families [Christopher Normand < [email protected] >, William went to London, married and had a family, but disappeared from the family records. However, Archibald Prentice of Manchester only identified two sons: Richard, the oldest son and Archibald, the second son.

Generation No. 2
2. Richard2 PRENTICE (John1) was born Abt. 1658. Notes for Richard PRENTICE: "...(Sir John Prentice's) son who inherited his principles, was amongst the first to arise against that unconstitutional monarch [Charles I] when his intolerance and tyranny made resistance a virtue. Richard, the eldest son of John, is mentioned in Woodrow, as having been heavily fined for attending a conventicle." [Source: "The Life of Alexander Reid, Written by Himself and Edited by Archibald Prentice, His Great-Grandson", 3rd ed., Manchester, England, c.1822, rep.1829; extracted from Archibald Prentice's footnote, p.34.]
Other sources also identify Richard as his father's heritor, the "Laird of Thorn." Although no record has been found, he evidently married and had issue.
Child of Richard PRENTICE is: + 5 i. James3 PRENTICE, born Abt. 1675.
3. Archibald2 PRENTICE (John1) was born Bet. 1655 - 1659 in Staine, Scotland, and died Abt. 1688. He married (1) Marion FORREST, daughter of John FORREST. He married (2) Marion BELL. Notes for Archibald PRENTICE: Archibald, "whose son afterward married the daughter of Alexander Reid," was described as "the second son of John Prentice (the Laird of Stone." (Source: The Life of Alexander Reid, Written by Himself and Edited by Archibald Prentice His Great- Grandson, 3rd ed., Manchester, England, c.1822, rep.1829; extracted from Archibald Prentice's footnote, p.33.) Laird of Thorn
He is also referred to as "Archibald of Thorn, formerly therein, portioner of Stone Stain, Ston)" in No. 66 of the Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark, Vol. 1, 1618-1720. The references (RS.40) IIIB, 399; (RS.41) I.2, 128; (RS.42) IV 192; V.354; VI. 453; VII.75; IX.393 cover the period between 1627 and 1693, probably from the time he inherited the property until his affairs were settled after he died. There are also see references to both of Archibald's wives, Marion Bell and Marion Forrest. There is no further information about Marion Bell, presumably the first wife, but there is some about Marion Forrest.
We are told by his grandson Archibald Prentice of Manchester that as a Covenanter, Archibald fought at the Battle of Bothwell Bridge on 22 June 1679. Many lost their lands if they were even suspected of being at Bothwell, and those who were actively engaged and would not renounce the principles (of Presbyterianism) which induced them to take up arms, were fortunate if they escaped the scaffold. Possibly because his family had been under the protection of the grateful Sir William Lockhart as mentioned in his father's notes, Archibald Prentice of Stone was exposed to less persecution than his friend Alexander Reid. He also managed to ride home from Bothwell without anyone observing him, except a weaver who lived on Calderwater. During the subsequent years of oppression, the weaver often used to visit Stone, where he would remark, "Oh, Laird, it was a lucky thing that naebody saw you at Bothwell but me." "Indeed it was," the Laird would answer, "but you're a discret body, and will say nothing about; gang awa, and fill your poke with a meal, for I fancy that's what ye're came for." The revolution of 1688, which restored the liberties of an oppressed people, relieved the Laird of Stone from the petty extractions of the weaver. (Ibid, The Life of Alexander Reid...extracted from Archibald Prentice's footnote, p.33)
However, here is some evidence that Archibald Prentice did suffer for his beliefs: "James Prentice, Portioner of Stane. George Russell. Became an elder of the established Church on July 18, 1699. (Probably a tenant in Stane). (Footnote P.28). It will scarcely be doubted that his father, and the father of James Prentice, are the persons named in the following passage from Wodrow, 1684. David Russell, tenant in Stane; Archibald Prentice and John Clelland portioners there; and John Smith, in the same parish, were apprehended and carried prisoner into Edinburgh, imprisoned for three months and fined one hundred pounds, for not raising the hue and cry against these people (Covenanters) when they passed by their houses in coming from the conventicle at Blackloch. George Russell’s son David became an elder in 1765, his son George became a Secession minister at Dalry and later succeeded his father as portioner of Stane. Peter, another son, took over another farm in Stane." Source: http://www.mirage.uk.com/Local%20Interest.htm
The children in Archibald's family have been tentatively identified through the (LDS) Scottish Church Records, but none of the …sympatico.ca/…/Prentice_update_6ge… 2/30 2/23/2011 Descendants of John Prentice, the Laird… records included their mother's name. The children have been assigned to the above mentioned Marion Forrest for the time being.
Notes for Marion FORREST: Identified in No. 66, "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," Vol. 1 (1618-1720) as the daughter of John Forrest in Thorn, and the spouse of Archibald Prentice, grandfather of James Prentice of Thorn.
Children of Archibald PRENTICE and Marion FORREST are: + 6 i. Archibald3 PRENTICE. 7 ii. Janet PRENTICE. She married James HOWISONE. Notes for Janet PRENTICE: Identified as "daughter of Archibald P. of Thorne, and spouse of James Howisone of Burnehous" in "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," (RS.41) I.2, 375; (RS.42) II.121. 8 iii. Margaret PRENTICE. Notes for Margaret PRENTICE: Identified as "daughter of Archibald P. of Thorne" in "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," (RS.41) 1.2. 9 iv. John PRENTICE. He married Christian PATERSON. Notes for John PRENTICE: No baptismal date found, but John is described "son of Archibald P., heritor of Thorrne, (RS 42) IV.192, covering the period 1667-1671: his spouse, see Paterson, Christian" in No. 66 of the "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark." Notes for Christian PATERSON: Described as "Christian, daughter of James (Paterson), portioner of Yuillshill and spouse of John Preteis, son of Archibald P., heritor of Thorne" in No. 66 of "The Index to Particular Register of Sasines..." reference # (RS. 42) IV.192 which covers the period between 1667 and 1671.

Notes for Archibald PRENTICE: Archibald was described as "portioner of Stain (Stone), son of Archibald P. of Thorne, portioner there; his spouses, see Steel, Isobel; Waddell, Jean" in "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," (RS.42, V.354; VI.453; VIII.75; XII.67. ) These references place him in Stane between 1671 and 1685, but they do not indicate which woman he married first, nor are the mothers of his children identified.
Notes for Isobel STEEL: Isobel was described at the daughter of John S., maltman, West Ridmyre and spouse of Archibald Prenteis, son Archibald P., portioner of Stane in the "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark" (RS 42) VI.453.
Notes for Jean WADDELL: Jean was described as the "daughter of Patrick W. in Dyke of Easter Ridmyre, and spouse of Archibald Prenteis, portioner of Stain in the "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," RS. 42, VIII.75.

Generation No. 4
10. John4 PRENTICE (James3, Richard2, John1) was born Bet. 1702 - 1709, and died 1779. He married (1) Jean WARDROP 21 Oct 1732 in Shotts, District of Calderhead, Lanark Co., Scotland. Banns published.4, daughter of James WARDROP. She was born 1708, and died Abt. 1754. He married (2) Janet LAWRIE 29 May 1756 in Cramond, Midlothian, Scotland5.
Notes for John PRENTICE: William John Normand's "Black Book: An Account of the Normand, Hill, Prentice and Russell Families" [Christopher Normand < [email protected] >, (Surrey, England). has identified this John Prentice as the last "Laird of Thorn," who ran through most of his fortune and sold Thorn. John then took to farming and had more than one farm in the Lothian region and one of which was at Clermiston, near Corstorphine [now part of Edinburgh], another at Williamston. He finally settled at Kilrie, Kinghorn, Fife [between Burntisland and Kirkcaldy].
There are two Sasines (only partly decipherable) in 1743, which provide the evidence that John Prentice had to sell his estate at Thorn. The first was:
"Sasine Samuell Sommerville Att Hamilton the 7th day of December 1743 In the name of God Amen etc... upon ye 3rd day of November 1743 ... compeared personally upon the ground of the lands underwryt John Gray of Coldstream, Baillee ... by vertue of ye precept of Sasine afterinsert with James Waddell ... for ... Samuell Somerville in Strawfrank having ... an Disposition made and granted by John Prentice of Thorn, heritable proprietor of ye Lands and others afterment ... in favour of ye sd Samuell Somerville wherby ye sd John Prentice ... sold Etc from him his airs and assigness etc ... in favour of ye said Samuell Somerville his airs etc heretiably and irredeemably ... all and haill ye sd John Prentice his five shilling land of old extent of the toun or village of Zuillhields called the Thorn, with houses, biggings ... and haill of the pertinents of ye same of old possest by ye deceist John fforest in Thorn and John fforest there his son..."
The second Sasine [RS42/14/Part2 Page 368 recto] is an extract (mostly unreadable) which almost certainly is an acknowledgement by the widow Janet Walker, that she has received the rent from the lands of Thorn due to her by right of her

John's tombstone reads: "The burying ground of John Prentice of Thorn, late in South Clermiston, and of Richard Prentice, solicitor at law his son, by whom this stone is erected. Interred here the said John Prentice who died 1779 aged 70; his first wife Jean Wardrop and seven of their children."

Notes for David PRENTICE: Although no baptismal register has been found for David, we know from Archibald Prentice's footnote in "The Life of Alexander Reid" that "Archibald Prentice's son afterward married the daughter of Alexander Reid" and that this couple must have been Archibald Prentice's parents. Is David the son of an Archibald? No christening record available for him, but there is one for a Thomas Prentice, son of Archibald, who was baptized 19 Oct 1701 in Cambusnethan (OPR #1375155).
According to information provided by Sheila Scott in her book "The Upper Ward of Lanarkshire Monumental Inscriptions Pre- 1855," p.130, Robbie Burns spent a night at Covington Mains on his way to Edinburgh Nov 1786.

52. Archibald "Bauldy"5 PRENTICE (David4, Archibald3, Archibald2, John1) was born Abt. 23 Jun 1734 in Shotts, Lanark, Scotland44, and died Abt. 13 Jun 1813. He married (1) Margaret PRENTICE. She was born 1743, and died Abt. 14 Jul 1776. He married (2) Helen STODART 19 Mar 1780 in Covington, Lanark, Scotland45, daughter of John STODART and Helen LIND. She was born 18 Oct 1757 in Walston, Lanark, Scotland, and died 25 Aug 1836 in Lanark, Lanark, Scotland46.
Notes for Archibald "Bauldy" PRENTICE: Archibald Prentice was a "Farmer of Covington Mains, near Biggar, in Lanarkshire, whom (Robbie) Burns visited on 27th November 1786, enroute for Edinburgh. There was 'a most agreeable little party in the evening.' Burns stayed the night at Hillhead Farm, with Mr and Mrs Stodhart--described by Burns as 'a glorious good fellow with a still more glorious wife'--and Prentice joined them for breakfast on the 28th. Prentice was an admirer of the poet, and subscribed for twenty copies of the first Edinburgh Editon of his Poems.
Other sources indicate that all the farmers of the district had read the Kilmanock Edition of Burns' poetry and they had all been asked to meet at Covington for a late dinner. The signal for Burns' arrival had been a white sheet attached to a pitchfork, put on top of a corn stack in the centre of the barnyard.
Archibald Jr. also gave this account of the famous poet's reception in Covington: "My father's stackyard was seen from every house in the Parish. (When) Burns arrived the flag was hoisted, and as instantly the farmers were seen converging at the meeting point. A glorious evening or rather night, which gathered something from the morning and the conversation of the poet confirmed and increased the admiration caused by his writings. On the following morning, he breakfasted with a large party at the farmhouse tenanted by James Stodart brother to the Stodart pianoforte makers of London."
James Stodart's son James (also) recalled how he as a boy on his way to school paused and noted the pony tethered and waiting for the Poet. The stalwart Bauldy Prentice had come out of the farmhouse and ordered him and others to hold the stirrup. "You will boast of it until your dying day." The boys said "We'll be late and we're feared of the Maister." (But) the boys took courage as Prentice was six foot three and the Maister was just ordinary. James Jr. in his eighties said: "I think I am prouder of that forenoon frae the school than 'a the days I was inmit." (Extracts from James Mackay's "Burns.")
In a letter dated 29th November 1786, to George Reid, who lent Burns a pony to ride to Edinburgh, the poet described Prentice: "For Mr Prentice, no words can do him justice. Sound sterling sense and plain warm hospitality are truly his." (Source: The Burns Encyclopedia at: http://www.robertburns.org/encyclopedia)
Other sources describe "Bauldy" as 6' 3" tall. We visited Covington in Aug. 1999 and found the old Prentice house much the same, although the 18th century farmhouse has been well maintained. People still remember the Lindsays who occupied the house after the Prentices. Covington Mains shares some land with the remains of an ancient, fortified house. An adjacent church has recently been sold, but it is still possible to locate the grave of Archibald Prentice and Agnes Reid with the help of Sheila Scott's "Monumental Inscriptions," although the raised and flattened tombstone is disfigured with moss. The road next to Covington Mains winds up to Hillead Farm, a snarl of grey-stoned buildings with a panoramic view. A plaque commemorating Robbie Burns' visit is at the foot of this road.
Notes for Helen STODART: Helen was probably the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Stodhart of Hillend Farm, who are described by Robert Burns "as a glorious good fellow with a still more glorious wife" after he spent the night of 27 Nov 1786 with them.

Notes for William HILSTON: Name also spelled Hillstone(s). William's ancestors may have originated in Staine (Stane), a place which is also associated with his wife's Prentice ancestors. The "Commissariot Record of Glasgow Register of Testaments, 1547-1800" records "Fairholme, Jonet, spouse to Robert Hilstoun, in Stane, par. of Cambusneethan 07 Jan 1609."
Also, No. 66 of "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark" indicates John (Hilston) of Staine, "formerly portioner there, son of Archibald H. there, (RS.40 IVA.215; (RS.41) II.55, (RS.42) I.191 and his spouse Jean Christie were located in Staine between 1631 and 1663. This source also indicates that Archibald Hilston and his spouse Christian Cleland and Robert, son of John Hilston were in Staine at this time.
However, there is still a large gap to be bridged between these Hilstons and William Hilston, born circa 1730 in Covington.
Descendant Jack Gordon has written: "William moved from Covington to Lesmahagow, where he was recorded as a schoolmaster from 1764-1804, living in the old town of Abbey Green. The move should have been financially advantageous, because the Imperial /Gazetteer gives the salaries (plus fees etc.) of the parochial schoolmasters as £44 in Covington and £101.4s.4 ½d. in Lesmahagow in the 1850s (and a similar ratio presumably obtained a century before).
Bruce Lenman makes the point (in his book on Integration & Enlightenment: 1746-1832) that, in the mid-18th century, Scotland's landowners had to bear the cost of the parochial schools, present in virtually every lowland parish, and this explains the miserable pay of the teachers - who usually doubled up as session clerk (William Hilston certainly did so in Lesmahagow for several years).
The Established Kirk had authority over the schools, which were subject to visitations by the local presbytery, and the schools provided good, cheap elementary education for all classes and both sexes, as well as preparing promising lads for University. Lenman contends that the Lowlands probably had higher literacy levels at that time than most of England (outside London) and most continental countries."

Children of Mary PRENTICE and William HILSTON are: 90 i. David A. M.6 HILSTON, born 02 May 1762 in Covington and Thankerton, Lanark, Scotland61; died Abt. 22 Feb 1799. Notes for David A. M. HILSTON: Descendant Jack Gordon reports: "In the "Cranmer Tree" David is recorded as "Master of Arts, Glasgow University". There is also a 1784 date under David's name but no indication of what event this refers to. However, the Glasgow University Archivist confirmed that David Hilston matriculated in 1777, in Prof Young's class and graduated MA in 1784. He is the only Hilston in the Glasgow University archives, and there is no record of him winning any prizes. The archivist commented that David was a student for an unusually long time and speculated that this might have been because he was ill, or he had to take time off and earn money to complete his studies, or he failed first time around. It was quite common in 18th century Scotland for students to fail to complete a degree for reasons other than lack of ability: only those intending to pursue careers in the Church, Law or Medicine required a degree, and many others were satisfied with a year or two of university study. Several subsequent ancestors (e.g. Gordons and Hallidays, although not Hilstons) attended Glasgow University, but in the neo-gothic buildings at Gilmorehill; in the 18th century it was located in the High Street."
David was buried with his parents at age 36. Lesmahagow Death Records describe him as a Student of Divinity. More About David A. M.

67. George6 PRENTICE (George5, John4, James3, Richard2, John1) was born 30 Jun 1805, and died 16 May 1871 in Strathore, Scotland. He married Jane Simpson RUSSELL 18 Jun 1833 in Kinghorn and Auchtertool, Fife, Scotland72. She was born 1811, and died 07 Jun 1849 in Pitteadie, Kinghorn, Fife, Scotland.
Notes for George PRENTICE: George Prentice was a Farmer, at Pitteadie, Kinghorn, and proprietor of Strathore. We have not found this family in the 1841 Census. In the record of the birth and baptism of his daughter, Ellen, in 1844, he was described as a Corn Merchant, living in Kirkcaldy, so it is possible that he returned to farming later than we first believed. In 1851 Pitteadie House was empty. At the 1861 Census, he was living, aged 56, at South Pitteadie House (11 rooms), Kinghorn, Fife, with his son, George (22) and his daughter, Mary (26). At the 1871 Census, he was described as a Farmer of 300 Scotch acres, employing a ploughman, 10 labourers, 15 women and 2 boys; with him, then, at South Pitteadie House, Kinghorn, were his son, Robert, aged 31, and his daughter, Isabella, aged 33, then widowed. South Pitteadie House had 11 rooms, according to the census record. He survived his wife for 22 years, and died, aged 66, 16 May 1871, at Strathore. His Will, dated 11 February 1867, left all his property, to his son, George Prentice, and divided the residue equally among all his children. The house at Pitteadie was left to his widowed daughter, Isabella for her lifetime (provided she did not re-marry). There were also references to legacies to his wife's mother from the estate of her father, of that of William Moffat, a merchant in Kirkcaldy, and of the Rev. David Guild, Minister of Auchtertool.

Isabella PRENTICE, born 09 Aug 1837. Notes for Isabella PRENTICE: Isabella Prentice, born 9 August 1837, baptised 18 September 1837, at Kirkcaldy, Fife. She was absent from Kinghorn at the Censuses of 1841 and 1851 (as were her parents). At the 1861 Census she was visiting her uncle, James, at Bankhead of Rait, Abbotshall, Fife. She married, 12 September 1865, at Kinghorn, Fife, Walter Ferguson Anderson, son of George Anderson, of Ferry Bank, and Rachel Inglis. There was no issue of this marriage, as she was widowed after only 4 years. At the 1871 Census, she was living, widowed, aged 33, with her father, and brother, Robert, at South Pitteadie House, Kinghorn, Fife. In her father's Will, when he died in 1871, Isabella (Prentice) Anderson was then widowed, and she was left Pitteadie, Kinghorn, Fife, "so long as she remained a widow" - if she remarried, the property would revert to her brother George Prentice (Probate value of the property was £11,074 5/6 [£511,167, today]) (in the event, she does not appear, after all to have lived at Pitteadie for any length of time). At the 1881 Census, she was living, widowed, aged 43, at 34 Abercromby Place, Edinburgh, and had a Cook and House Table Maid living in. She had 2 visitors, her niece, Annie Harvey (aged 15) and her cousin, Isabella Davidson, staying.

Robert Russell PRENTICE, born 05 Jan 1840. He married (1) Emily Dundas Murray SHEPHERD Abt. 187176. He married (2) Jane Montgomery LANG Abt. 187576. Notes for Robert Russell PRENTICE: Robert was absent from Kinghorn at the Censuses of 1841 and 1851 (as were his parents). He was not at the family home at the 1861 Census (when he would have been aged 21). He was living with his uncle, James Prentice, at Bankhead of Raith, in 1866, when the latter made his Will (in which he was sole inheritor of the estate of his uncle), but was back with his father, at the 1871 Census, at South Pitteadie.. He was a Farmer for most of his life, and married twice: - to Emily Dundas Murray Shepherd, in 1871 - to Jane Montgomerie Lang, in 1875 Robert was a farmer for much of his life, but he retired to live at 6 Mayfield Terrace, Edinburgh (he was there at the time of his sister, Ellen (Prentice) Normand's death, in 1910). For a while (during the 1860s, it would appear that he lived with his uncle, James Prentice, at Bankhead of Rait, Abbotshall, near Kirkcaldy (and later inherited this farm). .At the
…sympatico.ca/…/Prentice_update_6ge… 18/30 2/23/2011 Descendants of John Prentice, the Laird… 1871 Census, he was living, aged 31, with his widowed father, and widowed sister, Isabella, at South Pitteadie House, Kinghorn, Fife, and was described as a Farmer. He soon moved into Skeddaway, Dysart, where he farmed (it is not clear whether he ever farmed at Bankhead of Rait, however). He married twice, firstly, 25 April 1871, at Gracemount Villas, Burntisland, Fife, to Emily Dundas Murray Shepherd, daughter of James Shepherd, a Merchant, and Mary Murray. Emily Dundas Murray Shepherd was born about 1846*, as she was 25 when she married (both parents had died by then), living at 6 Gracemount Villas, Burntisland. She appears to have had 2 brothers, Thomas and Arthur, who were witnesses at the marriage. She died 6 days after the birth of her son, aged 27, from Scarlet Fever, 23 February 1872, at Skeddaway, Dysart, Fife. [Note: There appears to have been an epidemic of fevers in the Dysart area in 1872, as there were a large number of deaths from Small Pox, Scarlet Fever, Typhoid, and, of course, Pthisis] [Note: * No trace can be found of her birth 1844-1848 in the Index of births in the parish records of Scotland, so it is possible she was born in England - or abroad?] They had one son: - Robert Emile Dundas Murray Shepherd Prentice [O.6] [Chart 19C] (‡), born 17 February 1872, at Skeddaway, Dysart, Fife. At the 1881 Census, he was at Cargilfield Preparatory School, Trinity Road, Edinburgh, aged 9, together with his cousins, James Normand Normand and George Herbert Normand. He then went to Loretto School, Musselburgh, Midlothian. He has not been found in Scotland at the 1891 Census, aged 19, when he may have been at the Royal Military College. He was commissioned in the Highland Light Infantry (2nd Lt 19 October 1892, Lt 2 August 1895, Adjutant, HLI, 9 June 1900, Captain 1 August 1901, Brevet Major 22 August 1901). He served in the Indian Frontier Campaigns (Malakand Field Force) in 1897-8 (Medal with clasp). He then held several staff appointments, including Quarter Master General of the East Anglian Territorial Division, until 1909, when he re-joined the 2nd Battalion, HLI. At the outbreak of the 1st World War he was commanding "C" Company, and went to France, leaving England on 13 August 1914. He soon became 2nd in Command of the Battalion during the first months of the fighting, and in February 1915 took over command. In July 1915, he was promoted to Temporary Brigadier General and given command of the 188th Infantry Brigade, which was one of the Brigades of the Naval Division, which fought with distinction at the battles of Beaumont Hamel, Arras and Poelcappelli. He was wounded, mentioned in Despatches five times, and was awarded the DSO. (gazetted 3 June 1916). In January 1918, he left France to become GOC Catterick Reserve Centre. He was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, 4 November 1919, and commanding his Regiment, from 11 November 1919, until 1923. From 1924, he commanded the East Lancashire and Border Territorial Brigade, at Windermere, Cumberland (when he was a residual beneficiary of the Will of his aunt, Jane (Prentice) Patrick). He was also awarded the CMG in 1918 and CB in 1919. He retired from the Army in 1928, with the rank of Brigadier General. In addition to his distinguished career as a soldier, he was also a great sportsman, a first-class shot, unusually keen angler, and a very fair cricketer. He married, 15 June 1900 (in India?), Violet Rosabella Craigie, daughter of Colonel John Harry Smith Craigie, and Rosabelle Hamilton 125 v. Jane PRENTICE, born 27 Feb 1841.

Notes for David PRENTICE: A copy of a lease, dated 21 April 1801, for a field at High Hill (Windmill),Carluke, known as "Officer's Acre" indicates that David was a millwright in Covington.
David immigrated to America in 1805 and established an iron foundry in Louisville, Kentucky in 1817 with Thomas Bakewell which was called the "Eagle Works." According to his brother Archibald's book, "A Tour in the United States," David was also an engineer in Philadelphia and "afterwards the Fulton of the great western river navigation."
He was also a genius. It is said that he was the first one to place a steamboat on the Mississippi River. The U.S. government offered a reward for the best mechanical contrivance to remove snags or sawyers. He nearly completed a steam boat, connected by a strong beam to push them over down stream, when he died. His ideas and plans were taken up by another, who received the award. His will, probated 2 Oct 1826, names his wife Margaret and their children. (Source: Binney)

Notes for Archibald PRENTICE: After a brief period at school, Archibald Prentice was apprenticed at the age of 12 to a baker in Edinburgh, but the occupation wasn’t congenial. He was in the following year (1805) apprenticed to a woollen-draper in the Lawnmarket in Edinburgh. Here he remained for three years before going to Glasgow as a warehouse clerk for Thomas Grahame, a textile manufacturer, who was also the brother of James Grahame the poet. Archibald impressed this employer and in 1815, Thomas Grahame made him a partner and sent him to represent the business in Manchester, England.
In Manchester, Archibald became friends with local social reformers such as John Edward Taylor, John Shuttleworth, Absalom Watkin, Joseph Brotherton, William Cowdray, Thomas Potter and Richard Potter. The group was strongly influenced by the ideas of Jeremy Bentham and Joseph Priestley. These businessmen objected to a system that denied important industrial towns and cities representation in the House of Commons. The men met in the back room of John Potter's house which became known as Potter's Planning Parlour.
After the Peterloo Massacre, Archibald became a regular contributor to local newspapers, including the Manchester Guardian. However, he purchased his own newspaper the Manchester Gazette in 1824 because he did not believe the Guardian was radical enough. Prentice edited the Manchester Gazette until 1828 when bankruptcy forced him to close the newspaper. Later that year his radical friends put up the money for a newspaper that he called the Manchester Times. In his newspapers, Archibald advocated parliamentary reform, religious toleration and free trade. The Manchester Times did well until 1830 when sales began to decline. Then on July 14, 1931, an action for libel was brought against him by Captain Grimshaw, of whom he had said that he gave indecent toasts at public dinners. In the indictment, Archibald was styled "a labourer" and in his defence, which he conducted himself, he said that he gloried in being "a labourer in the field of parliamentary reform." He was acquitted and was presented with a silver snuff box "by one hundred of his fellow labourers." But people still objected to Archibald's "schoolmaster tone" and also he was unwilling to include many stories on non-political issues.
In 1835 Archibald Prentice joined Joseph Hume and Francis Place to form the Anti-Corn Law Association and on 24 Sep 1838, he induced several prominent Manchester merchants to meet him at the York Hotel and the result of their meeting was the foundation of the Anti-Corn Law League.
For the next eight years, he devoted himself as editor and lecturer to the propagation of free-trade principles, sacrificing both his health and the prospect of worldly wealth. However, sales of the Manchester Times remained poor and when a rival radical newspaper, the Manchester Guardian, appeared in 1846, Archibald found that he could no longer make a profit from the venture. In 1847 he agreed to sell his business to the owners of the Manchester Examiner.
After leaving newspaper publishing, Archibald found work at the Manchester Gas Office. However, he continued to write and had several books published including: "Tour of the United States" (1848), a book which he sold cheaply in order to promote immigration; "Historical Sketches and Personal Reminiscences of Manchester" (1851) and "History of the Anti-Corn Law League" (1853). Apparently, he had also edited his great-grandfather's book as early as 1822: "The Life of Alexander Reid, a Scottish Covenanter." (The source of some of the above information was an Internet website at: http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/PRprentice.htm)
…sympatico.ca/…/Prentice_update_6ge… 24/30 2/23/2011 Descendants of John Prentice, the Laird… According to Binney, Archibald also published another book in 1851 which was a second edition of historical sketches and personal collections of Manchester "dedicated to his cousins, Elizabeth, Agnes and Beatrice Prentice of Castle Park, Lanark, Scotland, great-granddaughters of Archibald Prentice and Alexander Reid who fought at "Bothwell Brig" 1649, and grand- nieces of James Thompson, the author of the "Seasons" etc., and sisters of David Prentice, founder and editor of the "Glasgow Chronicle."
There is also a picture of Archibald and one of his articles at this website, which was located by my cousin, Riley Crawford - Phillips. According to Riley, Archibald's personal papers became the property of his niece, Mrs Emily Dunlop of Northwich, Cheshire, England:

91. Christian6 HILSTON (Mary5 PRENTICE, David4, Archibald3, Archibald2, John1) was born 1765 in Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, and died Bef. 1851. She married James BROWN 26 Apr 1787 in Lesmahagow, Lanarkshire, Scotland, son of James BROWN and Isabel ALSTON. He was born Abt. 1764 in Lanark, Scotland, and died Bef. 1841.
More About Christian HILSTON: Census: 1783, Lower Devon, East Side of Abbey Green, Lesmahagow, Lanark, Scotland. Cristian is living with her parents. Christened: 10 Jul 1765, Lesmahagow, Lanark, Scotland. Recorded as: "Christian daughter of William Hillstones, schoolmaster in Lesmahagow and Mary Prentice."94,95 Christian, aged 75 is presumably widowed and living at Mutton Hall in Lesmahagow (near Kerse) with her son Wm Brown's family during the 1841 Census.
Notes for James BROWN: James' age was originally estimated from the age of his wife Christian Hilston, assuming that he was only slightly older, but there is always the possibility that this was a second marriage.
His parentage is uncertain, but the fact that his granddaughter Christian Brown married her second cousin William Gilfillan [whose mother's maiden name was Jamieson] indicates that both parties shared a common grandparent and this ancestor could have beeny Agnes Brown who married James Jamison.
I have also considered the possibility that James' grandparents were James Brown of Netherfauldhouse who married Catherin Steell of Middleholm 31.3.1722, probably when they were in their early twenties. Catherine's father may have been Thomas Steel who is recorded as the owner of Middleholm during the 1695 Poll Tax of Lesmahagow; his wife is also named. Catherine's brother may have been John Steel, identified as the "son of Thomas S. of Midleholm," in "Index to Particular Register of Sasines for Sheriffdom of Lanark," (RS.42) XII. 482, probably between 1709-1719. John Steel married Janet Hamilton. A closer (but not exhaustive) perusal of the parish registers for Lesmahagow has identified a couple of their children born at Middleholm: Margaret, born May 25, baptized June 5, 1722 and Thomas, baptized 31 Dec 1723.
If the mother's name is indicated, a closer perusal of the parish registers may also reveal some of James Brown's and Catherine Steel's children. Assuming James and Catherine Brown had children who survived to adulthood between 1722 and 1750, there is evidence of a second generation of Browns having children at Middleholm. John Brown and Jean Steel christened a daughter, Clementina 30 March 1781, possibly a last born child, so there may have been Brown children born at Middleholm in the 1760s and the 1770s. Clementina died in 1787.

Notes for David PRENTICE: David was the founder and editor of the Glasgow Chronicle and Journal, the first Liberal paper in Scotland. He appears in the following directories:
PRENTICE, David & Co printer and newspaper printer Glasgow Chronicle Office 169 Trongate 1815 Nelson Street 1818 Chronicle & Journal [59] Nelson Street 1819-20 Initial only 59 Nelson Street Pigot 1820. Chronicle & Journal Office, Reid's Court, 117 Nelson Street 1825 Glas Dir; Pigot 1825 66 Trongate and 28 Nelson street 1828 28 Nelson Street 1835
If he is the David who married Mary Craig, he married late. David and Mary may have had least three daughters: Beatrice Bell Finlayson, Elizabeth Ledward and Marion* Ledward who were identified as such when they erected a monument to their grandparents and their parents in St. Kentigern's Churchyard, Lanark.
David was also supposed to be the grand-nephew of James Thomson, a famous poet, who wrote the words for "Rule Brittanica," but unfortunately there is very little biographical information available about him.
*Marion was referred to as "Mary Craig Prentice" on her marriage register to Ralph Worthington Ledward, so I am assuming she was the same person. There is also a birth register identifying Mary Craig Prentice as the daughter of David Prentice and Mary Craig.
