- Mary Adeline Prentice Gilbert
Mary Adeline Prentice Gilbert (born November 29, 1908) is the second child of Ezra Parmalee Prentice (1863–1955) and his wife Alta Rockefeller Prentice (1871–1962). John D. Rockefeller (1839–1937), the co-founder of Standard Oil is her maternal grandfather.
She married Benjamin Davis Gilbert on October 16, 1937 at a community named Williamsport. One source reports that Williamsport was in Massachusetts, but Pennsylvania is indeed the true location.
She is listed as a joint copyright holder (but not a joint author) with her brother John Rockefeller Prentice on a 1935 book by her father, "Breeding profitable dairy cattle; a new source of national wealth" (Boston and New York, Houghton Mifflin Company, 1935.) John Rockefeller Prentice is best known as a pioneer of artificial insemination in farm animals as a means of improving their genetic pool.
