5. James founded Jamestown, N. Y., built and operated mills, conducted a store, and became judge of the Court of Common Pleas. 6. Jedediah became a physician. He also engaged, with his brother Martin, in mercantile pursuits. He was of scholarly tastes, took special interest in geology, and at the invitation of DeWitt Clinton once wrote several articles on the geology of that section of New York state. These articles were afterward published by Governor Clinton just mentioned. Jedediah has one grandson living in Canada. Jedediah’s only daughter, Catharine, wedded Hon. Hamilton Merritt. 7. Martin was associate judge of Niagara County and was supervisor for Chautauqua township for eighteen terms. 8. Susanna became the wife of Oliver Whiteside, but was a widow with two daughters when she came to Chautauqua County. 11. Martha died unmarried. 12. William was a farmer, but is best known as Colonel Prendergast. He enlisted in the army during the War of 1812, took part in the battle of Black Rock, under Col. James McMahan, and won promotion. 13. Minerva became the wife of Elihu Marvin, but was soon left a widow with a son and daughter of tender years. I can remember when I was a child of six or seven years of visiting Colonel Prendergast’s house on Christmas Day and seeing his wife roast the turkey in a tin oven before the fireplace, cooking the vegetables in kettles hung on a crane over the blaze and pounding coffee in a mortar. She also “dipped” her candles and cooked in a brick oven. She had a red broadcloth cloak, trimmed with red satin, which I was allowed to wear if I would sit still, and at the end of the visit my great-great uncle always gave me a piece of gold or silver money. One yet in my possession bears the date 1776. Alexander T. Prendergast was a son of James Prendergast, the founder of Jamestown, N. Y., and of his wife, whose maiden name was Agnes Thompson. This Alexander had one son, James, who was a lawyer by profession and served as a member of the State Assembly. His parents founded the James Prendergast Free Library at Jamestown, an Episcopal church there called the Prendergast Memorial, gave a public drinking fountain, a window in the Congregational church, scholarships in the Jamestown schools, and other benefactions. There are no living descendants of James, John, William, Minerva, Martha, Elizabeth, or Elinor—children of William Prendergast, the pioneer. Descendants of others of the children achieved a good measure of success. One of them, Col. Henry A. Prendergast, served as a paymaster during the Civil War and died of sickness contracted in the service. He was also a member for many terms of the New York State Assembly.
