In the issue of Sept. 28, 1859, the editor of the Hunterdon Gazette had to
publish an apology to Jacob S. Prall for a very scadalous mistake:

"A BIG MISTAKE.─ We regret that last week we published our friend Jacob
S. Prall, at Reaville, as having been convicted of adultery at out [sic]
late session of Court. It should have been Jacob F. Prall. We beg the pardon
of Jacob S.”

Jacob Sutphin Prall (1830-1877), son of Peter Prall & Catharine Sutphin,
married Rebecca Williamson (1832-1907) in 1851. He was a school teacher and
storekeeper at Reaville. One wonders how his friends and neighbors treated
him after this.

Jacob Fisher Prall (1800-1862), son of Abraham Prall & Sarah Fisher, was
a whole generation older that Jacob S. Prall. He married Margaret Case
(1810-1837) in 1827, and perhaps Mary Young (1815-1882) in 1838. Jacob
F. Prall was fined $100 + costs for adultery and promptly left the county
for Philadelphia (where he appeared in the census for 1860, without his wife).
