Contents: |
The collection consists of papers pertaining to the family and decedents of the Oliver Hillhouse Prince from 1785-1919. A
considerable number of documents focus on Oliver Hillhouse Prince, Jr., including his interest in the genealogy of the Prince
family and documents relating to his service in Cobb's Legion during the Civil War. Correspondence is written by or addressed
to Abraham Baldwin, Mrs. Martha Price, Martha J. Jackson, Dr. H. Jackson, and John B. Lamar. Of particular interest is a parody
of a court case at the Honorable Mouse-Owlry court, in Bibb County, where Billy Beeswax of Honey Comb Hall is petitioning
that Peter Pushroot pays him the 400 bushels of potatoes he is owed. The collection also includes wills of Oliver H. Prince,
Henry Jackson, Joseph Webber; and a scrapbook containing mostly printed pictures and newspaper clippings relating to Georgia
political matters and deaths of Prince family members and notable Athenians.
