Notes and Observations: Based on the 1900 and 1910 censuses, Carl Fields suspects the name of J R Prince's father was William Prince, whose father's name, in turn, might have been Nathan. Not only is this speculation, but there seem to have been two or three different William Princes and two or three different Nathan Princes in the Big Bottom Township area of Independence County, Arkansas in the late 1800s. A further confusion is that, despite the several people named Prince who lived in Big Bottom Township at the time of the 1870 census, several sources indicate this James Prince was born in Tennessee. This suggests his particular Prince family may have moved to Independence county when he was a very young child.
