Bio
Joseph Barnard bought Prince from Dr. Thomas Wells of Deerfield, Massachusetts, and earned money by hiring Prince out to work for others. In 1744, Barnard bought him a coat, breeches, and other items. He also paid for Dr. Thomas Williams to treat Prince after a fall he took in the spring of 1749. When he escaped the following fall, Joseph Barnard placed a notice in the Boston Post-Boy offering a reward for Prince's capture. By July of 1750, he was once again in Deerfield under Barnard's control. Two years later, Barnard paid carpenter James Crouch for making Prince's coffin.
