George K. Prince

George K. Prince (1800/01-1865) became an English medical doctor in Jamaica and active supporter of the BMS work there. Prince traveled with John Clarke in 1840 to Fernando Po, West Africa, to determine its feasibility for a BMS mission. After considerable expeditions in the area, they left Fernando Po in the summer of 1842 and arrived in England that September. After several months of speaking engagements and fundraising, Clarke returned to Jamaica in August 1843 to gather recruits for Fernando Po before continuing on to Fernando Po; Prince, however, returned directly to West Africa from England in the late spring, 1843. In 1848 he and his wife (a native of Jamaica) left West Africa, and later emigrated to America, where he died at Davenport, Iowa, in 1865.
