Dr. Amos Prentice

Dan Elwell, father of Judge Elwell, married Nancy Prentice, a daughter of Dr. Amos Prentice, who traced her lineage back through seven generations to Capt. Thomas Prentice, about 1620, who lived at Newton Center,Mass., and was formerly a soldier in the army of Cromwell. His death, at the age of ninety-one, resulted from being thrown from a horse while going to church. Dr. Amos Prentice served as a surgeon in the Revolution and when New London, Conn., was destroyed by the British under Benedict Arnold he was forced to flee for his life, and removed with his family to Milltown, Pa., near Athens, residing there until his death.
