The Prince Family Crest
The emigrant was John Prince, Ruling Elder of the Church of Hull, Massachusetts, who came from a family ranking among the gentry of Co. Berks, England. His father was the Rev. John Prince, Rector of East Shefford, in the above-mentioned county; and the English heraldic works show that the arms we give were granted in 1584 to the Princes of Shrewsbury and Abbey Foregate, Co. Salop. A member of the American family, the Rev. Thomas Prince, obtained in 1710 an official copy of the original grant.
