Notes

Knowles Genealogy p. 17 says: "Thomas Prence, 4th Governor of Plymouth Colony, came to America in 1621 on the "Fortune" soon after reaching his majority. He was the son of Thomas Prince of All Hallows, Barking, London, carriage maker. The proper spelling of the surname was Prince but the younger Thomas chose to call it Prence. The family was apparently armigerous as Thomas Prince Senior, in his will of 1630, bequeathed a "seale Ringe of Gold" to his son "Thomas Prence new remayninge in New England in parts beyond seas."
