William Henry Prince was a prominent land owner and prosperous farmer in Paint Rock Valley until his death in 1878. He served as the captain of a Jackson county company in the Alabama State Militia during the Civil War and was known to his neighbors as "Cap'n Billy" in relation to his Civil War rank.
He helped form a Home Guard with my g-g-grandpa George Washington Hinshaw and my g-g-grandpa, John Bishop, during the Civil War. There is more written about this Home Guard under the name of George Washington Hinshaw.
