Bio

Prince was the son of Prince, Sr. and Anna Freeman of Conway, Massachusetts. The 1790 federal census for Conway lists a White Prince Freeman with five people in his household. His name is a common one for an African American man. It might be that the family was light-skinned and the census taker assumed they were White, but information on this family is scarce and without more, it is difficult to know their race.
