Miss "Scolley" was Mary Scollay, youngest of the thirteen children
of John Scollay (who was born in 1712, died October, 1799), and his
wife Mary. Mary was born in 1759. She married Rev. Thomas Prentiss
on February 9, 1798, had nine children, and lived to be eighty-two
years old--dying in 1841. Her sister Mercy was engaged to be married
to General Warren, but he fell at Bunker Hill: and his betrothed
devoted herself afterwards to the care and education of his orphaned
children whom he had by his first wife.
