The vicar at Great Saling -- which lies about 35 miles northeast of central London -- witnessed William Prentis' will. Unfortunately, Great Saling church records exist only from the early 1700s and other sources have not yet been found which would shed light on his ancestry and the date and place of his birth. There is no information about his occupation. William's estate was probated on 26 Apr 1574 in Essex County. He was probably about 60 years old when he made his will because he mentions three married children, two with sons under 21.
He married Elizabeth, abt 1538.
They had the following children:
| 17280 | i. | John (~1540-<1597) | |
| ii. | Mary (~1541-) | ||
| iii. | Joan (~1542-) | ||
| iv. | Jane (~1543-) | ||
| v. | Valentine (~1544-1598) | ||
| vi. | Elizabeth (~1546-) | ||
| vii. | William (>1554-) |
34561 Elizabeth. Born abt 1520. Died aft 1574.
From William Prentis' will we know his wife's name was Elizabeth. There is no information about her ancestry or the place of her birth, but in the normal course of events her parents probably lived not far from William's parent's home. Since she was named in William's will, we know that she died sometime after that date.
