Married Alice B_____[remainder of surname illegible on original record] in Chelmsford, Essex, England on June 29, 1626. Came from (probably) Chelmsford, Essex, England to Massachusetts Bay in 1631 aboard the Lyon on its second voyage with his wife and son John. His other child died at sea. He settled in Roxbury and died in Roxbury before April 3, 1634 (date of widow's remarriage to John Watson). He was admitted to Roxbury church as member #52, in 1632. He was made Freeman August 7, 1632. Known children by Alice B____ (birth order not known): 1. John Prentice, who married 1st Hester Nichols; 2nd Esther Nichols; 3rd Rebecca Parker. (Hester and Esther were first cousins, their father's were brothers.) 2. Child, buried at sea 1631 1. Valentine1 Prentice, of Roxbury, MA has roots which have been traced back to the early 1500s in England. Born about February, 1598/9 in Felsted, Essex Co., England, chr. 25 Feb. 1598/99, in Felsted. He married, in 1626 in nearby Chelmsford, Alice Bredda. Valentine and his family immigrated to America in 1631 aboard the "Lion" with Eliot. Of his three known children, one died before sailing, one died at sea, and the third, John, is the ancestor of all of Valentine's descendants. Valentine died in 1633 in Roxbury at the age of only 34. His widow, Alice, then married John Watson of Roxbury and she and John Watson had at least six (6) additional children. We do not yet know where she died, but it would have been after the 1644 birth of her last known daughter. Ellis, in his History of Roxbury quotes from the church records the mention of Valentine Prentice's sufferings and death, closing with a clause that proves how variously our ancient manuscripts may read, "leaving a good cup of gentleness behind him," when my version of the words in Italic is "SAVOR OF GODLINESS." An additional 9 pages of biographical information about Valentine Prentice, his wife, and their ancestors are available in our book. If you would like a copy please contact Joe Dewald.
