Source 2: History of Newton, Massachsuetts:
Thomas Prentice 2nd was joint purchaser of lands with james Prentice in 1650 and 1657, and probably his brother. His father-in-law, Edward Jackson, senior, bequeathed to him one hundred acres of land at the south part of the town near Bald pate meadow, where he built a house and resided in it during the latter part of his life; also, tow other tracts of land. In 1694, Thomas Prentice, senior, probably Thomas Prentice, 2nd, conveyed lands to Rev. Nehamiah Hobart; in 1706 to his grandsons, Thomas and Samuel; in 1774, by deed of gift, to his son Thomas Jr.; after his own decease, his homestead at Burnt Hill in NEwton, adjoining the new dwelling-house of said Thomas, except what he allowed to his son-in-law, John Hyde, reserving two-thirds of the Cedar Swamp to his sons John and Edward. His affidavit, dated 1713, recorded with the deeds, states that about sixty years ago he held one end of the chain to lay out a highway over Weedy Hill in Newton. His heirs sold his dwelling-house and farm in 1728.
