- Rev. Joseph Prince was born in Boston April 12, 1723. When only fourteen years of age he
met with a serious accident which impaired his sight and compelled him to relinquish his studies.
He married, July 30, 1747, Sarah, daughter of Capt. Ezekiel Carpenter of Attleborough, Mass.
He died Jan. 15, 1791, aged sixty-eight, leaving a widow and seven sons. Rev. John Murray,
then pastor of the First Presbyterian Society, Newburyport, delivered a sermon, Jan. 23, 1791, commemorating
the life and character of Rev. Mr. Prince, from the text, " I must work the works of
him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work." ? John ix. : 4. This
sermon was afterward printed and sold in Newburyport by John Mycall, publisher of the Newburyport
Herald.
