I have replied to your message via email, and I have sent you some pictures of Marie.
Below is an email from my aunt re. Prince sisters. I would love to see photos of the girls, and I would also love to hear more about Jennie's career.
Thanks-
From my aunt:
I have a book my grandmother had which shows we are descended from the line of Robert Prince and Sarah Warren (the witch). They had two sons, James and Joseph. His son Joseph (born 1698)was the father of Timothy, (1722)who was the father of Samuel, (1745)who was the father of Orland, (1787) who was the father of David, (1822) who was my great grandfather. His daughter Marie (or May) was my grandmother, her son was my father Truman and your grandfather.
(Whew!)My grandmother Marie Prince Moore, I called Nana. she never told anyone when she was born and erased every reference in the family Bible. My mother figured that she was was probably 82 when she died in 1953, but that doesn't jibe with the fact that there were 4 daughters born to David and he wouldn't have had time to sire all four before he died.. Daisy died a year after her father in 1874. I don't know if she ever married. I think the eldest girl was Ella (Aunt Nellie) , who never married and worked on Wall Street as a secretary. She sent me a toy when I was little, so she probably died sometime in the early 1930's. Sister Jenny was an opera singer and had a daughter we visited in 1949 on Cape May, NJ ,Cousin Edna, but Jennie was dead by then as was Nellie. I think there was another cousin of my father's named Jane Seaman who might be the daughter of Daisy, Jane invented the table salt...Jane's Crazy Salt, which I always buy for seasoning. we visited her also, when I was 10 and she was rich and had a house full of music boxes, which fascinated your dad. We wound them all up just before we left, I'll bet she could have wrung our necks as they all started playing. I wrote to her in 1982 when daddy died, but the letter was returned, so I suppose she was dead also. The other sister was Carrie who died of diptheria the year after Nana's first baby died of the same disease at age 3. and she was the youngest and never married. She is buried in Denver
