Child of Mr. PRESCOTT. Reported age at time of death was 2 years, so if accurate, evidently born about 1860. He is reported to be 6 months of age in his parents' 1860 census household (Census Day 01 JUN 1860, Enumeration Day 07 JUL 1860) in Clay County, Georgia.

Mary Jane Galer's "COLUMBUS, GA: Lists of People, 1828-1852, and Sexton's Reports to 1866" (2000), p. 231, shows: Mr. PRESCOTT's child died aged 2 years of the measles and was buried 06 DEC 1862, as a resident (sic) of Columbus, Georgia (from "1863 Sexton's Report for first quarter 1863 & Dec. 1862 partial," dated 06 APR 1863. The sexton at that time was Thomas NIX.). Although John H. Martin's "The Making of a Modern City: Columbus, Georgia, 1827-65," Volume II (1875), p. 157, reports burials in early December from the version of the sexton's report that was published in the local newspaper, this PRESCOTT burial is omitted.

This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. This grave is evidently not identifiably marked. Based on the burial date, this grave would be in the Old Cemetery section, Section 1, Section 2, or the Letter A addition (unless it was subsequently reinterred to another part of the cemetery).
