My Family Tree

Note from Mike Landwehr: 'Proof that Nancy Prince's husband was John Prince, the following item is from the December, 1823, minutes of the Primitive Baptist Church on Larkins Fork [Jackson Co, AL]: "Received Brother John Prince and Sister Nancy Prince, his wife, by letter." Five new members were received into the church at the December meeting' including Jeremiah Williams who went to Hot Spring Co, AR like Zachariah Prince.

"Nancy loses church membership around the time of Owen's birth:
According to the Minutes of the Church, John and Nancy were members of the Primitive Baptist Church on Paint Rock River, joining by letter December term 1823. In the July term 18324, John Prince was chosen to serve as a Deacon. In August 1824 he begins to serve the Church in the office of Deacon. In August, 1826 John is mentioned as a member of a committee. In the May term 1832, Nancy is excluded: "Reference taken up again Nancy Prince; the Church excluded her for the sin of being unchaste, and she is no more of us."

===> Smith Co, TN is more likely him because a Peter Prince lived there too ( Zachariah named a son Peter ), except this Peter born before 1776, but still might be a half-brother from John Prince, Sr's previous marriage.
