Dulcinea Barry was born about 1755 in the Province of South Carolina, possibly in Spartanburg, the daughter of Robert Barry (1725-1793) and Dorothy Easterby (1725-1783), formerly of Yorkshire, England. [1]
She married William Prince in Spartanburg, and the couple had several children, including daughters Celia Elizabeth (b. 1736) and Dulla (b. 1781), both in Spartanburg.
According to a biography at Find A Grave, "William, . . . was a Captain in Colonel Benjamin Roebucks Spartan Regiment. In the spring of 1782 Captain William Prince, a recently discharged veteran led a party west through the Cumberland Gap to the Red River Valley, a branch of the Cumberland River now located in Montgomery County in the vicinity of Clarksville. The party included Dulcinea Barry Prince, their children, two brothers, Enoch and Robert, and other unknown souls.
"Dulcinea died soon after (1783-1784] . . . leaving seven children. William returned to South Carolina, leaving his children with friends and trusted slaves to conduct a second party to his new home in Tennessee."[2]
She passed away about 1783 in the Southwest Territory (later Tennessee) in the vicinity of Clarksville in later Montgomery County.
