John Prescott Headstone Original grave marker inscription: JOHN PRESCOTT DECASED Memorial stone inscription: "Here with his children around him lies John Prescott, founder of Lancaster and first settler of Worchester. Born at Standish Lancashire, England, died at Lancaster MA December, 1681. Inspired by the love of liberty and the fear of God this stout hearted pioneer forsaking the peasant vales of England took up his abode in the unbroken forest and encountered wild beast and savage to secure freedom for himself and his posterity. His faith and virtues have been inherited by many descendants who in every generation have well served the state in war, in literature at the bar in the pulpit, in public life and Christian homes".
