Kimball Prince is a DAR Patriot Ancestor, A093250.

Kimball was born on 9 May, 1726 at Kingston, Province of Massachusetts Bay to parents Job Prince and Abigail (Kimball) Everson. ^[1]

In 1744 above the age of 14 years old, Kimbal made the choice of Ephraim Everon of Kingston to be his guardian.^[2]

"On the death of his father, he was nine years of age, put out by his mother to Johnathan Ring of Kingston. At 25 he married a niece of his guardian. He was a member of the military company raised at Kingston in 1745, under Capt. Sylvanus Cobb, for the expedition against Louisburg. He was a farmer and perhaps a house carpenter, living at Indian Pond, Kingston, near his father-in-law, Deacon John Fuller, where all his children were born. The house is gone and the place is now owned by Mr. Churchill. It is presumed that Kimball Prince may have followed the sea at sometime during his life, from the fact that he is called a 'mariner" in the record of his administration on his brother James' estate, in 1759, (book 57, p. 110). He had six sons and three daughters."^[3]

In 1749, he married Deborah (Fuller) Prince.^[4]
