309 Emmigrated from England to Scituate, Plymouth Colony, MA about 1636 and had moved to York, ME by 1642. Under the government of Sir Ferdinando Gorges he was appointed Mayor of the city of York abt. 1645-1649. The area at that time was called Gorgiana or Agamenticus.

Under the government of Edward Godfrey, from who, he purchased a tract of land, he was appointed a member of the General Court and held the first military appointment with the title Major. In 1650 he was appointed by the governor of Mass. as one of the Commissioners to hold County Court and commission military officers. On 29 June 1654 he was sworn in as Treasurer of the County. He held the position of Commissioner in the years 1655-57 and 59-60. He was invested with Magistratical power throughout the county of Yorkshire, and along with 3 others appointed to run the dividing lines of Falmouth, Saco and Scarborough. The same 4 men were elected by votes of the freemen of the county as county commissioners 1660 & 1661.

The surname was frequently spelled Prebble. It is spelled by those relatives remaining in England as Prebel or Prebell.
The name is said to have been originally Preville, of Norman origin.

Refer to the book Prebles in America, starting on page 5.

318 Family and friends referred to John as Jack. We do not know how he picked up this name.

US Army, World War II. Army service No. 11-047-693 Enlisted 9 Feb 1942, Boston. Discharged 20 Oct 1945 Ft Devens, MA. World War II in Europe. Overseas WWII: 14 Jan 1943 to 28 Sep 1945. When discharged he was attached to C Company, 254th Infantry Reg. of the 63rd Infantry Division; the Blood and Fire division.

His overseas dates do not coincide with the overseas dates for the 63rd Inf. Div and because he served in Africa and in the ROME ARNO campaign (that happened in the spring of 1944) before the 63rd/254th entered Europe, we speculate he was transferred to the 63rd/254th just prior to being discharged. This was a common practice at the end of the War to expedite getting troops home from Europe.

Separation record says he was in an Ordnance Company (but not the organic ordnance company of the 63rd Infantry Division). The unit number is unreadable, but has only two digits, thus was not a Divisional unit.

We believe he was attached to the newly formed US Fifth Army in Northern Africa (Jan 1943)and moved to Northern Italy (early 1944). Then when the US Seventh Army was formed for action in Southern France (summer 1944) his Ordnance Company was included in the Seventh Army. The Seventh Army fought in France and joined up with Allied Armies coming south from the Normandy beaches, then went east into Germany.

Three Inf. Divisions (3rd, 36th, and 45th) were pulled from Italy after Rome-Arno to become the US Seventh Army for Operation ANVIL-DRAGOON (invasion of southern France). It seems logical to conclude that he was attached to a unit pulled from Italy for the invasion of So. France in Aug 1944. The 63rd/254th later (Dec. 1944) joined that action.

I remember Dad saying he followed Patton through Europe (not what the 63rd Infantry Division did). Also, that he was in the area of Nancy, France when that city was under siege. Something that Patton's 3rd Army did partake in. The 35th and 80th Infantry divisions were in the battle for Nancy, so Jack might have been assigned to a unit supporting that action.

See http://www.63rdinfdiv.com/miscphotospage75.html which includes photo.

The 63rd Infantry Division, including the 254th Infantry Reg. (along with the 253rd and 255th) landed at Marseille, France on 8 December 1944 and was later attached to the 3rd Infantry Division in the Colmar Area. The other two Regiments were assigned to other Divisions and in Feb 1945 the three Regiments were joined again into the 63rd Infantry division. From mid-February 1945 until the end of the war, the 63rd Infantry Division made a path of Blood and Fire from Sarreguemines through the Siegfried Line to Worms, Mannheim, Heidelberg, Gunzburg and ending in Landsberg Germany at the end of April 1945 when the division was pulled from the line for a much needed rest.

The Irvings previously lived on Cypress St. in Newton Centre, MA and were members of the Prospect Congregational Church of Cambridge, MA.
