PRINCE, Oliver Hillhouse, senator, born in Connecticut about 1787; died at sea, 9 October, 1837. He removed to Georgia in early years, studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1806, and began to practise in Macon, of which he was a settler, and one of the five commissioners that laid out the town. He was elected a United States senator in place of Thomas W. Cobb, serving from 1 December, 1828, till 3 March, 1829. Mr. Prince was the author of many humorous sketches, one of which, giving an account of a Georgia militia muster, was translated into several languages. He also published " Digest of the Laws of Georgia to December, 1820" (Milledgeville, 1822; 2d ed., Athens, 1837). He perished in the wreck of the steamer " Home" on the coast of North Carolina.
