Philander Prescott (September 17, 1801 – August 10, 1862) was the son of Dr. Joel Prescott and Phildelia Reed. He was a native of Phelps, Ontario County, New York. He headed west in the spring of 1819, stopping a few months in Detroit, Michigan, before continuing west to Fort Snelling. In 1823, he married Na-he-no-Wenah (Spirit of the Moon), also known as Mary Ke E Hi,[1] daughter of Man-Who-Flies, a Dakota subchief who lived near Lake Calhoun. She was born around 1804–1806 and died on March 29, 1867, at Shakopee, Minnesota. They had sons, William Prescott; Hiram Prescott (born December 21, 1831 or 1832); and Lorenzo Taliferro Prescott (c. 1839 – January 2, 1869); as well as a daughter, Lucy Prescott Pettijohn; and two more children.{{clarify|date=December 2016}} During his life on the frontier, he served as a government interpreter of the Dakota language (including for the Treaty of Traverse des Sioux). He worked as a miner, a trapper, and on a steamboat on the Mississippi River. He also ran trading posts, in several locations, and farmed. From 1839 to 1862, he operated a trading post along the St. Croix River - its location became the town of Prescott, Wisconsin, named for him.[2] He was killed at the Lower Sioux (or Redwood) Agency during the Dakota War of 1862;[3] he was buried in the Minneapolis Pioneers and Soldiers Memorial Cemetery, as were his wife and son. His papers are in the Minnesota Historical Society library.[4] Notes1. ^http://www.friendsofthecemetery.org/history/alley_articles/prescott_mary_nov2004.shtml 2. ^http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/dictionary/index.asp?action=view&term_id=3785&keyword=prescott 3. ^http://www.mnhs.org/places/sites/lsa 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www2.mnhs.org/library/findaids/01136.xml |title=Collection Finding Aids |last=Bailly |first=Alexis |access-date=13 December 2016}} References
