BIOGRAPHY:  The following is from the book "GENEALOGICAL AND FAMILY HISTORY of the STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE", vol. III, page 1652.

       Samuel, second son and child of James and Maria (Marston) Prescott, was born March 14, 1697.  He married Mary Sanborn, daughter of Joseph and Mary (Gove) Sanborn.  She was born July 26, 1697.  They were married December 17, 1717, and were admitted to the church July 13, 1740.  They lived on a farm at Hampton Falls.  Samuel Prescott appears to have been a man of substance, and prominent in the affairs of the town.  He served several years as selectman, town clerk and in other offical capacities.  He also acted as one of the scouting party "above the frontier".  This party went out in 1724 to the region above dover and Rochester, then on the edge of the wilderness.  It is supposed that they were sent against the Pequawket Indians, who had their headquarters where Fryeburg, maine, now is.  Samuel Prescott died of fever at Hampton Falls, June 12, 1759, aged sixty-two years and three months.

       Samuel and Mary (Sanborn) Prescott had five children, all sons: Jeremiah, Samuel, John, Joseph, and William.  All of these son, except Samuel who died young, had a notable military record.  Jeremiah and John served in the French and Indian war; Jeremiah took part in the expedition against Crown Point and John assisted in the capture of Louisburg.  Joseph and William took part in the Revolution, and each attained the rank of major.  Joseph was in the battles of Bennington and Ticonderoga and at the surrender of Burgoyne; he was a member of the New Hampshire provinial congress, which met at Exeter in 1775.
