"Of these baptisms the records of the Roxbury church say: 'John, son to John Prentice, baptised 7 mo. 29, 1667; and Joseph, Jonathan, Peter, Steven, Ester, children of John Prentice, baptized 2, 19, 1668.' Mr. Edward Prentis, of New London, writes: 'He probably went to Roxbury to have his children baptized in those two years, as New London, though not destitute of a minister, had no regularly ordained clergyman, qualified to administer the ordinances, until 1670. (When John Prentis was a member of Mr. Bradstreet's church, which was commenced Oct. 5,1670. …)"

"I found it to be a very confusing thing to sort out an Esther Nichols versus Hester Nichols descendancy. Finally I started paying more attention to the records of the Prentice family in America and things became clear. Who would have thought that John V. Prentice would have married first a Hester Nichols, daughter of John Nichols, and married second an Esther Nichols, daughter of Caleb Nichols - And that these two women would be first cousins. For years I had thought that "Esther" and "Hester" were the same person. I owe my enlightenment to a fine amateur genealogist, Larry Cheesebro', with whom I had corresponded on a few occasions in the past, who put me on to the classic 1883 Prentice family reference book by C.J.F. Binney. John immigrated at age three with his parents to Boston aboard the "Lyon". His occupations were blacksmith and seaman. His residences were Boston, MA, in 1631, Roxbury, MA, in 1632 and New London, CT, in 1652. He remained a member of the Roxbury church and took his children there to be baptized. His first wife was Hester Nichols (daughter of John Nichols) and first cousin of his second wife Esther Nichols (daughter of Caleb Nichols). His third wife was Rebecca Parker, daughter of Ralph Parker. He was Deputy to the General Assembly of CT in 1668. Two of his sons, Jonathan and Thomas were also sea captains."
