Mary Prescott
Notes for Mary Prescott:"Mary Prescott was born in Sowerby, Parish of Halifax in Yorkshire, England where she was baptized on February 24, 1630. She was the daughter of John and Mary (Gawkroger/Platts) Prescott. She emigrated from Sowerby to Watertown in the Massachusetts Bay Colony with her family somewhere around 1638. She lived there with them until about 1643 when they moved to their settlement on the Nashaway Plantation which became Lancaster, Mass. "In 1648 she married another early settler, Thomas who had come in from Lincolnshire, England, and finally moved to the new settlement at Lancaster. He had taken up land, and they built their home there, undertaking all the hard work entailed in wresting a living from the land in that pioneer settlement. They had a family of eleven children - six sons and five daughters. "In 1676 they suffered through the massacre of Lancaster along with the others, and Mary knew the grief of losing her second son, Ephriam, as well as other relatives and friends in that ordeal. They were evacuated back to Watertown on the coast and remained there for about three years until it seemed safe to return. The Sawyer family came back and rebuilt their farm home and helped with the restructuring of community affairs.
