Hi Joe and List Everthing you gave me before, as seen below in your original email seems correct except how you put Zachariah 7 MATLOCK (MOORE 6, MOORE 5, JOHN 4, GEORGE 3, JOHN THOMAS 2, WILLIAM 1) Was this just a mistake? All the info that went with that Zachariah was ok except for his father and down on the line. Can you give me the correct line of my Zachariah? (His ancestors) Is it Zachariah (John III, John II, John I,) I received this morning the following from my PRINCE researcher. He said he obtained his information from an article found in a History of Caldwell Co, KY that he found in Shreveport, LA library. He beleived it was a heritage book. Under article number 45, entitled JOHN CLARK PRINCE, written by Frances Shore. Ms. Shore said her sources were the Matlock Bible, Rev. War Pension Papers and Caldwell County Court records. She wrote the following: JOHN CLARK PRINCE (ca.1170-1835) was a nephew of (Captain)Prince, for whom Princeton , KY was named. His parents were Henry Prince and Janet (others say Jennet) McElhenny. Both Henry and his father John Prince of Prince's Fort, were in the Revolution. Henry served in the siege of Augusta and the siege of Ninety-Six. He died in Greenville District, SC in August 1835. Henry and his son JOHN CLARK PRINCE held original surveys for land in Caldwell Co., KY, dated 1798 and 1800. Thomas Gregory of Livingston County gave permission for his daughter to marry JOHN PRINCE. It appears that there were no children. JOHN C. PRINCE acted as surveyor of county roads, as deputy clerk. In 1819, JOHN C. PRINCE married NANCY MATLOCK (1784-1824), daughter of ZACHARIAH MATLOCK (died 1827) and LUCY WASH. Both were from Louisa Co., VA. Other Matlock children were: JOHN MATLOCK, born 1788; MARY MATLOCK, born 1791; ELIZABETH MATLOCK, born 1793; SUSANNAH MATLOCK, born 1797; and THOMAS MATLOCK, born 1807. ZACHARIAH MATLOCK served in the Virginia State Line and was at the battle of Brandywine. While in service he contracted small pox. LUCY received a widow's pension No. W8420. The MATLOCK had come to Caldwell Co., KY before July 1801. NANCY MATLOCK PRINCE died in 1824, leaving two young boys, WILLIAM HENRY PRINCE, born 1819 and JOHN CLARK PRINCE, (JR.) born 1822. JOHN CLARK PRINCE (SR.) died in August 1835, within two days of his father Henry Prince. After his mother's death, JOHN CLARK PRINCE (JR.) probably lived with his MATLOCK grandparents. The early Matlock families were Quakers and that Quaker influence appears strong in JOHN CLARK PRINCE'S family. His uncle THOMAS MATLOCK, organized the Blue Spring Baptist Church near Caldwell, Trigg and Lyon Counties. My Prince researcher noted that he did not copy this article word for word, but beleives he as accurately covered the important parts. He added the Sr. and Jr. for clarity. What do you think of the above? Do you have anything to add?

LUCY WASH, daughter NANCY Lee-Anne Welcome to the list and you are in the right place to find your information. If you will go to Rootsweb.com and go through the archives, Zachariah and Lucy are there. Zachariah's great grandfather's brother William was Quaker as were most of his (William's) descendants, to include Col Timothy of Philadelphia. The Southern branch seems to have gone Anglian to Methodist to reformist and restorations during the Great and Lesser Awakenings. Sorry but I don't have a lot on your Nancy but here is a chart to get you started. Please notice the other Prince in the census material. Is this in error or more of the family?
