    Notes:

    John Prescott was a blacksmith from Sowerby, in the parish of Halifax, west-riding, Yorkshire, England.

    John came from England to Watertown, Massachusetts about 1640 with his wife and four children. In 1645 or 1646 they removed to the foundation of a new settlement at Lancaster, Massachusetts. John Prescott took the oath of allegiance in 1652, but was not admitted freeman before 1669, was with his family removed shortly after the doleful day of 10 February 1676 and the town was wholly abandoned for several years so that no white man lived between the towns on the Connecticutt river and those on the Concord. In 1682 the number of familes was not more than one-third as large as seven years before. But of these, Prescott's was one.

    NOTE: Recent data indicates that John is not son of Ralph.

    Notes:

    Jonas Prescott settled in Groton, Massachusetts. He, or his father for him,
    built the mill in the south part of Groton, now within the limits of Harvard,
    and is still called the "old mill."

    At a town meeting held in Groton, 19 November 1673, it was voted that "By
    agreement of the town Jonas Prescott is to grind the town's corn for the town
    every second and every sixth day in every week."

    At a town meeting at Groton, 13 June 1681, liberty was granted to Jonus
    Prescott to set up his corn mill at Stony Brook.

    An agreement between Jonas Prescott and the town of Groton that he, the said
    Prescott, have liberty to set up a saw mill at Stony brook on conditions that
    he furnish the town with merchantable boards at six pence a hundred (feet)
    cheaper than they are sold at any other saw mill, and for town pay, and that
    the town be supplied before any other person. (This priviledge was to
    continue or cease at the pleasure of the town.)

    John Prescott bought lands in Groton until he became one of the largest
    landholders in the town. He was also a blacksmith. The town of Groton, being
    in great want of a blacksmith, invited Jonas Prescott to remove to near the
    center of the town to a lot of land which the town voted to give him as an
    inducement. He accepted the invitation and built a house and shop on said lot
    (lying on the east side of James' brook, so called), and removed there in 1675.

    To be found on a large stone in a wall which encloses this farm can be seen an
    inscription (visible in 1866)

    I. P.
    1680
    Rebuilt by
    O. P.
    1784
    Rebuilt by
    S. J. Park
    1841

    The I. P. is for Jonas Prescott.

    Upon the resettlement of the town, after its destruction by the Indians in 1676,
    he built mills and a forge for the manufacture of the iron from the ore at
    Forge Valley (so called), which was then in Groton, but now in Westford. He was
    a man of extensive influence. He was town clerk in 1691; a selectman for
    several years; represented the town in the General Assembly in 1699 and 1705;
    was also captain in the militia and justice of the peace. He maintained an
    elevated rank in the community.
