Rufus Prentice, b. 13 Oct., 1801; m. 7 Aug., 1827, Wealthy Starkweather, dau. of Belcher and Mary [Leonard] Starkweather. b. George Denison Prentice, b. 18 Dec., 1802; m. Harriet Benham of Louisville, K'y. He d. near Louisville, K'y, 22 Jan'y, 1870. He left two sons, Courtland and Clarence. Mr. Prentice was a Kentuckian by adoption. He was educated at Brown University, in Providence, being graduated in the class of 1823. He then studied law and was admitted to the bar. In 1828 he founded 'The New England Weekly Review,' at Harford, which he edited for two years; when resigning its management to Mr. Whittier, he removed to Louisville, K'y. While on the 'Review' he attracted attention by his tense, incisive and epigrammatic style. An ardent admirer of Mr. Clay, he began the writing of that statesman's life for the purpose of showing the American public the greatness of the man. 'Old Harry of the West' was then the pride of the Whig party and its bright particular star. In 1830 Mr. Prentice took charge of 'The Louisville Journal' and was quickly engaged in political battle. It was expected by the partisans of Shadrock Penn (editor of 'The Louisville Advertiser,') that he would overwhelm the youngster at once, but after eleven years Penn yielded before the stinging shafts of Prentice's satire, wit, sarcasm, irony and logic. After Penn retired to St. Louis, Prentice paid him one of the most graceful, touching, and beautiful tributes that ever appeared editorially in the columns of a newspaper. In 1840 he was afflicted with 'writer's paralysis,' so that he had to dictate to an amanuensis. He always punctuated his matter while dictating. When the sentiment of secession began to grow in the South, Mr. Prentice was a strong Unionist, though both of his sons went into the Confederate army. Despite the fact that Mr. Prentice was one of the hardest political fighters, and said such bitter and cutting things that they made him many enemies, he never allowed his political feelings to affect his personal likes and dislikes. He deeply admired Horace Greeley, who for many years was his bitterest political enemy. Mr. Prentice wrote for the 'New York Ledger' a poem beginning 'I send thee, Greeley, words of cheer, Thou bravest, truest, best of men, For I have marked thy strong career, As traced by thy own sturdy pen.' He was peculiarly of a poetic temperament, and wrote poetry because he loved it. Concerning Prentice's greatest poem which is one of the finest in the language, an interesting story is told. It is said on New Year's Eve in the 50's the carriers of the 'Journal' came into the editor's room, complaining bitterly that they had no 'Carrier's Address' for the next morning. In those days this annual poem was a rich source of revenue to the boys. Mr. Prentice, prompted by that warm kindliness which was ever a distinguishing trait of his character, at once determined to help the youngsters, and dictated a 'Carrier's Address.' The result was the 'Closing Year,' beginning 'Tis midnight's holy hour--and silence now, Is brooding like a gentle spirit o'er The still and pulseless world.' Mr. Prentice compiled a book of his paragraphs, which was called 'Prenticeana.' He was frequently challenged to duels, but always made fun of the belligerents' messages. In 1868 he sold part of his interest in the 'Journal' and soon after it was consolidated with the 'Courier' and became the 'Courier-Journal.' He was a powerful editor and the most brilliant paragrapher of the age; indeed, the first one of any note. His wit was bright and sparkling, his satire keen, his eloquence grand, his poetry beautiful, his logic unanswerable; a deep thinker, a profound reasoner, genial, hopeful, humane, and, therefore, sometimes erring, he had the best of friends and the bitterest enemies and was, all in all, a great and gifted man--a genius. 3.

     A Brief Genealogical History of Robert Starkweather Author: Carlton Lee Starkweather Call Number: CS71. S796 This book contains the history and genealogy of Rober Starkweather andhis descendants from Massachusetts. Bibliographic Information: Starkweather, Carlton Lee. A Brief Genealogical History of Robert Starkweather. Knapp, Peck & Thomson. 1904 FIRST GENERATION 1. ROBERT STARKWEATHER, b. in Wales, Scotland, on the Isle of Man,settled in Roxbury, Mass., being there as early as 1640. He owned land in that place and according to tradition, also in Boston--a part of what is now known as 'Cornhill.' He eventually disposed of his estates in Bostonand Roxbury, and removed to Ipswich, Mass., where he died. He m. Jennet Roberts, dau. of John Roberts of Roxbury, and all his children were born there. (Remember that in the olden days, i. e., until September, 1752, the year began with March as its first month, and that all prior dates are in old style). In 1643, Elizabeth, dau. of Robert Starkweather, was baptized, 'month 5, day 23' (church record), 23 July (town record), in Roxbury. In1644, Lidea, dau. of Robert Starkweather, was born, 23 June (town record), in Roxbury. In 1646, John, son of Robert Starkweather, was baptized, 'month 6, day 2' (church record), in Roxbury. In 1648, Deborah, dau. of Robert Starkweather, was baptized, 'month 6, day 27' (church record), in Roxbury. The Rev. John Elliot's record of church members of Roxbury, gives (without date) 'Jenet Starkweather, the wife of Robert Starkweather.' Her admission is prior to 1644, as is determined by minutiae of one sort or another in the record. This same church record gives also, under date1636, the following: 'John Roberts, he came to New England in this year; he brought wth him his aiged mother, wife and seven children: Thomas and Edward, sons; Elizabeth, Margery, Jenet, Alce, Lidea, Ruth, Deborah, daughters; he was one of the first fruits of Wales, yt came to N. E., called to Christ by the ministry of yt Revend and worthy instrument, MrWroth.' Under date, 1645, is read 'month 11, day 7, Old Mothr Roberts, a Welch woman, she had lived about nine years in this country & dyed the hundred and third yeare of her aige. She was above 90 years ould wn she left her native country.' This was under the caption 'Deaths:' '1651, month 9, day 27, John Roberts dyed of a dropsy.' (All of the above church records are transcribed from the printed copy, as the originals are in sealed packets in a safe and not open to public inspection). Ellis's 'History of Roxbury' which says (page 3) that we learn it fromJohn Elliot's diary, states that in '1645 toward ye end of ye 1st month (called March) there happened....a dreadful fire in Roxbury streete.'This may account for the lack of further mention of Robert Starkweathe rin Roxbury records. In the Suffolk County Registry there is recorded a deed of sale of a house and land 18 Dec., 1651, in Roxbury, Mass., obtained from hisfather-in-law, Roberts, by Robert Starkweather of Ipswich, Mass. We excerpt the following from Ipswich Town Records: 'At a meeting of the7 men the 6th (8) 1654, Liberty is granted to Robert Starkweather to run a fence in the lyne betweene us and Wennam.' 'April 16, 1655. It was ordered that 'Goodman Starkweather shall have the herbage of such Comon Land as lyeth neare Wenham line, so long as he shall keep a comon heard of young Cattle for this Townes use, and it is agreed that Goodman Starkweather shall constantly find a careful keeper to follow the said Cattle, who shall have such allowance as the seven men shall think meet. And may sett up such fences upon the sd Comon Lands as shall be necessary or useful for the benefit of the said heard.'' 'Att a Towne meeting the17th of November, 1673. where as sundry ??'sons for their ??'ticularadvantage, are redye to entertain into their houses or to lett out Land or tenements to such ??'sons as are no way desirable, and may prove burdensome in severall respects to this Towne, for the prevention whereof, it is ordered that no ??'son inhabitting in this Towne, or thebounds thereof shall suffer any stranger coming from other Townes to continue or live more than one week in his owne dwelling house, or any tenement of his, or whereof he hath the disposing, under the penalty of twenty shillings for every weeke he shall suffer any such ??'son to continue or abyde in any of his possessions, to be distrained by theConstable, by order of the Selectmen unlesse such ??'son doe give satticefaction and security of there honestie and abillity to the Selectmen or the major pt of them at a full meeting, and obtaine their license to be entered in the Towne book for the entertaining of such??'sons, ??'vyded allways this order, shall not restrain any of the inhabitants for entertaining any of their friends or relations that cometo vissit them, at there owne dwelling houses or household servants tha tare single ??'sons. Edward Bragg doe acknowledge himself, his heirs, and executors to stand bound to the treasurer of the County in the sum of fiftie pounds. The condition is that he the sd Edward Bragg shall save, and keep harmles the Towne from any charge that shall or may come upon the Towne by his entertaining of Robert Starkweather, and his family into the Towne.' Witness his hand 'Witness: John Whipple, Robert Lord. the marke of Edward X Bragg.' (This last record tells a tale of extreme poverty, also that Robert Starkweather, after his original entry into the town, removed and so lost his rights as an inhabitant, as well as his alleged wealth). 'The Towne meeting, the 10th February, 1673. Robert Starkweather desired in a paper to have liberty to hould the house of Tho: Perrin, and little Neck, for seven years &c. as is exprest in his paper. Wich was granted he agreeing with Thomas Perrin about his interest.' 'Att a meeting of the Selectmen the 24 of March 16 73/74, greed with Robert Starkweather to keepe the flock of sheepe at the Neck from the first of Aprill, till the middle of November, he to pay for any sheepe killed by leaveing out in the night, or kild in the daytime, and to have for his wages seaven shillings y weeke, to be payd by the owners of the sheepe, he to looke carfully, to dog them when there is need. Those that pay in malt to pay it at either Capt. Appletons or Cornett Whipples, and those that pay in other corne, to pay it at Cornett Whipples, for his use. He to clense the pen once a month, and in wett wether to remove them into a pen of five rayles, he lodgeing by them when foulded there, thosethat shall not pay as aforesayd by the last of February to pay halfe soe much more, being demanded. the marke of Robert X Starkwether.' (The 'Little Neck' is said to be common land, never sold to any one; the proceeds of its use are now applied to the support of the town schools). 'Att a meeting of the Selectmen the 21th of December 1674. The Selectmen granted liberty to Decon Pengry concerning the Little Neck & Perrins house the like liberty that Robert Starkweather had for seven yeare the administratix haveing asigned it over to him.' In Essex County Probate at Salem, Mass., there is on file 'An Inventoryof the goods of Robert Starkweather taken novembar 1674. œ--s--d The House And barne and fensing to it 12-0-0 In Corne 13-0-0 In Hemp 02-10-0 thre Lods of Haye 01-8-0 In swine 02-5-0 thre sheepe 01-0-0 A.

After his marriage he lived in East Haddam, Conn; also in Preston,Conn., where for several years he was one of its selectmen; later heremoved to New Ashford, Mass; here he became a prominent citizen, waselected warden, was a deputy to the Massachusetts General Court, etc.Samuel Starkweather is styled a resident 'of East Haddam,' when, 2 Dec.,1752, making a purchase of land in Preston, Conn; but his removal musthave been quite recent, for Stonington deeds show that 20 Apr., 1752,Samuel Starkweather of Stonington sold to 'my brother, RobertStarkweather' for œ3200 'in bills of credit of the old Tennor' 'all theLands and buildings that Ever was my Honoured fathers mr?? JohnStarkweather Late of sd Stonington, Deceased,' 'being in what is calledthe N. W. Corner.' The fact that his home was originally in Stonington is shown when, 27Oct., 1746, he sells his land 'lying with in ye Townships of Preston andStonington'--in the old North West corner, evidently. He lived inPreston, Conn., 20 March, 1777, for then he gave seventy acres on accountof 'the Love and Good will and Affection I bear unto my son William;' andas late as 13 Sept., 1731, he was there, as is shown by a deed of gift toSamuel, Jr. ('my beloved son Joseph' having been remembered 27 March,1781); and again as late as 8 Feb., 1783, for on that date he disposes oflands and buildings there, to Gershom Palmer for 'œ500 in silver.' We excerpt from the Preston town records:-- 'Know all men by these Presents that I, Samuel Starkweather of Preston,Conn., have Given and Granted and Do hereby freely Give and Grante untomy Negro man York his freedom to Go out free for him Self Immediately andthis I Do in Consideration that the Selectmen of Said Preston have Givenme Leave to free Said Negro and Receive him for an Inhabitant of SaidPreston So that he may Be no Charge to me nor my Heirs in Case he ShouldCome to Want, Disallowing any Person to have any Right to Said Negro forEver as a Slave.
