(On) John Prince was a lawyer, farmer, military officer, politician, judge, and entrepreneur. He emigrated to Upper Canada in 1833. An unhappy and volatile man, he was at odds with himself, his family, and his associates. As Colonel of the Third Essex Regiment, he was sometimes unpredictable in his actions and on one occasion, during the Upper Canada Rebellion, unjustifiably violent - ordering the summary execution of five prisoners after the Battle of Windsor.
