Oliver Prescott1

b. 27 April 1731
Father*Benjamin Prescott2,3,1 b. 4 Jan 1695/96
Mother*Abigail Oliver2,1,3 b. 1697
Birth*27 April 1731Oliver Prescott was born on 27 April 1731 in Groton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3 
Education*1750Oliver graduated in 1750 from Harvard College, Boston, where he studied medicine.1 
Marriage*19 February 1756He married Lydia Baldwin, daughter of David Baldwin Esq. and Abigail Burr, on 19 February 1756 in Watertown, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).1,3 
Occupation*He was a physician in Groton.1 
Revolutionary War*1778Oliver took an early and active part in the Revolutionary War and received many important appointments. In the militia, he was appointed by the King a major, then lieutenant colonel and colonel. In 1776 he was appointed a brigadier general for Middlesex County by the executive council of Massachusetts Bay, and that same year was also chosen a member of the board of war. In 1777 he was elected a member of the Supreme Executive Council; and in 1778 he was appointed the third major general of the militia throughout the Commonwealth.1 
Occupation*1779Following the death of Judge John Winthrop in 1779, Oliver Prescott was appointed his successor in the office of Judge of Probate and Wills for Middlesex County.1 
(Probate Judge) Probate Dispute2 March 1780 On 2 March 1780, Nathaniel Thayer, Cornelius Thayer, Samuel Bass, William Andrews, Deborah (Thayer) Whitworth, Hannah (Thayer) Abbott, Christian (Bass) Armstrong, Mary Thayer, Sarah (Thayer) White and Rebecca (Bass) Thomas Fowle, all of Boston and residual legatees resulting from the will of the Reverend Ebenezer Turell, submitted a document to the court addressing their concerns regarding the inequities between the value of silver and gold compared with the value of Continental currency, which had gone through several changes and devaluations during and after the Revolutionary War. In 1780, paper money in the new United States, called Continentals, was worth only about 1/40th of its face value. The document stated their understanding that Simon Tufts Esq. of Medford, as Executor to the last will and testament of Ebenezer Turell, late of Medford, Clerk, was entitled by the will to a legacy of £20, and was by virtue of his Executorship in possession of a sum of silver and gold coin, which according to a law of Massachusetts for regulating the value of silver and god coin, amounted to £503, 15s, 6p. Their petition went on to state that a dispute had arisen between the Executor Simon and several of the legatees regarding whether their legacies ought to be paid in silver and gold or in the present currency of the state. The petition's subscribers recommended that the Executor pay them 2/3 of their legacies in silver and gold, after deducting 1/2 of his own legacy, and that the Executor's other half be paid to himself in paper money. The petition went on to recommend that the £150 allowed the Executor for all his services in settling the estate be paid in paper money. The petition's subscribers, all residual legatees as the children, or their heirs, of Lydia (Turell) Thayer and Christian (Turell) Bass, both of whom were deceased sisters of the late Reverend Turell, agreed to be obligated to the court for the sum of £100,000 in lawful money of the state as protection for the Executor. Their document stated that in the case any debts owed to the estate were recovered which would increase the assets owed to the Executor, they would refund their prorated parts of those debts on the condition that their obligation of £100,000 to the court be voided and of no effect. Their petition concluded with the statement that should they fail to keep their agreement, their obligation would remain in full force and effect.4 
(Probate Judge) Massachusetts Money The pound was the currency of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and its colonial predecessors until 1793. Like the British pound sterling of that era, the Massachusetts pound was subdivided into 20 shillings, each of 12 pence, but the Massachusetts and British pounds were not equivalent in value. British and other foreign coins were widely circulated in Massachusetts, supplemented by locally-produced coins between about 1652 and 1682 and by local paper money from 1690.

The paper money issued in colonial Massachusetts was denominated in pounds, shillings, and pence. Initially, six shillings were equal to one Spanish dollar. After years of high inflation, in 1749 Massachusetts withdrew its paper money from circulation and returned to money in the form of coin.

After the American Revolutionary War began in 1775, the Continental Congress began issuing paper money known as Continental currency, or Continentals. Continental currency was denominated in dollars from 1/6 of a dollar to $80, including many odd denominations in between. During the Revolution, Congress issued $241,552,780 in Continental currency.

Continental currency depreciated badly during the war, giving rise to the famous phrase "not worth a continental". Several factors contributed to the declining value. Monetary policy was not coordinated between Congress and the states which, like Massachusetts, continued to issue too many bills of credit not backed by tangible assets. Congress and the states lacked the will or the means to retire the bills from circulation through taxation or the sale of bonds. Another problem was that the British successfully waged economic warfare by counterfeiting Continentals on a large scale.

By the end of 1778, Continentals retained from 1/5 to 1/7 of their face value. By 1780, the bills were worth 1/40th of face value. Congress attempted to reform the currency by removing the old bills from circulation and issuing new ones, without success. By May 1781, Continentals had become so worthless that they ceased to circulate as money. Benjamin Franklin noted that the depreciation of the currency had, in effect, acted as a tax to pay for the war. In the 1790s, after the ratification of the United States Constitution, Continentals could be exchanged for treasury bonds at 1% of face value. The Massachusetts state currency depreciated greatly and was replaced by the U.S. dollar in 1793.

The painful experience of the runaway inflation and collapse of the Continental dollar prompted the delegates to the Constitutional Convention to include the gold and silver clause into the United States Constitution so that the individual states could not issue bills of credit, or "make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts." This restriction of bills of credit was extended to the Federal Government, as the power to "emit bills" from the Articles of Confederation was abolished, leaving Congress with the power "to borrow money on credit."5,6 
(Probate Judge) Probate Dispute9 March 1780During the course of the Turell probate, Simon Tufts Esq., Executor, submitted itemized reports to the court accounting for his payments to beneficiaries and the expenses he incurred on estate business. On 9 March 1780, the Executor listed cash paid in the amount of £329, 3s, 8p to the residuary legatees.4 
(Judge) Probate1 October 1783Simon Tufts Esq., Executor of the estate of the Reverend Ebenezer Turell was cited to appear before Judge Oliver Prescott at his office in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress), at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on 1 October 1783 to render an account of his Administration of the estate. Simon's citation extended to the heirs and others concerned citing them also to appear (if they think fit) at the same time and place, to offer any objections to the account exhibited for the court's approval. Simon was directed to serve the citation, with a return to the court, to the heirs and others concerned. As a result of their meeting, with the heirs consenting, Judge Prescott approved the Executor's account, and on 6 Nov 1783, entered it into the court record in Middlesex.4 
(Judge) Administration3 October 1787Judge Oliver Prescott "inherited" the ongoing probate of the estate of the Reverend Ebenezer Turell when his predecessor John Winthrop died in 1779, and on 3 October 1787 he appointed Elizabeth (Hall) Tufts to be her deceased husband Simon Tufts Esq.'s successor Administrator and continue the unfinished probate. On the same date, Judge Prescott ordered John Brooks Esq., Ebenezer Hall and Moses Billings to complete another inventory and appraise the estate, according to their best skill and judgment, in lawful money of the Commonwealth.4

Benjamin Price1

b. 1720, d. 1805
Birth*1720Benjamin Price was born in 1720, his year of birth calculated from his age at death.2 
Relocation*Benjamin Price settled in South Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts from Dorchester, Suffolk County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).2 
Marriage*17 October 1743He married Silence Hayward, daughter of Nathaniel Hayward and Mary Harvey, on 17 October 1743 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).3,1,4 
(Soldier) French & Indian War1755Benjamin was 35 years old, with a wife and several young children in 1755 when he served under John Winslow at Nova Scotia.

In 1755, John Winslow was appointed lieutenant-colonel of a provincial regiment raised by Shirley to aid Lieutenant Governor Charles Lawrence of Nova Scotia in his attempts to sweep the French influence from the province, and he played an important role at the capture of Fort Beauséjour in June 1755. Winslow was then ordered to proceed to Grand-Pré, Nova Scotia, to remove the Acadian population, as part of the infamous Great Upheaval. Although often believed solely responsible for carrying out the deportation, Winslow was in charge of only one segment of a much larger operation. On 5 September 1755 he informed the assembled Acadian men that they and their families were to be removed from the province. Winslow termed the business “Very Disagreeable to my natural make & Temper,” in his “Journal of Colonel John Winslow of the provincial troops, while engaged in removing the Acadian French inhabitants from Grand Pre”. The numerous delays in arranging transports caused the deportation to take far longer than had been anticipated, but by November he had shipped 1,510 Acadians to Pennsylvania, Maryland, and other British colonies to the south. Among those soldiers serving under Winslow in Nova Scotia were Benjamin Price and John Bolton of Bridgewater.5,2 
(Husband) Deathbefore 1782Benjamin became a widower when Silence Price died before 1782.2 
Marriage*18 October 1782He married second, as her second husband, Mehitabel (Pratt) French on 18 October 1782 in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts (Continental Congress).2 
(Husband) Death1804Benjamin became a widower for the second time when Mehitabel (Pratt) French Price died in 1804.2 
Death*1805He died in 1805 at age 85.2
