It does seem that Prince spent his later years with children in both Pittstown and Fly Creek. More importantly, I downloaded the book "The Howland Heirs" that you mentioned and found my great-grandfather (George Russell). He was one of two adopted sons (the other was David Russell) to John Russell, who was a son to Prince Russell. This confirms stories of an adoption that I have from living descendants of David. Now begins the search for information about the adoptions! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
