INTRODUCTION.

The family name " Prime" is without doubt of Flemish
origin, and at different times has been spelled interchang-
ably Priem, Prime, Pry me, de la Prjme. From the year 1179
to the year 1680 there were sixteen of the name who were
chief magistrates of the city of Ypres, in Flanders. After
the persecution of the Walloons in the Low Countries by
the Duke of Alva, the name appears frequently in Eng-
land among the Flemish refugees at London, at Norwich
and in Yorkshire and in other country districts of
England. In the registers of the Church Austin Friars in
London, also in the registers of the Walloon
Church at Norw^ich, England, wdll be found
the same person entered in different places under the
names Priem, Prime and Pryme. It is difficult, at this
length of time, to trace the connection of the American
family with the English family of that name, owing to the
lack of care to preserve the record, whence came those
who fled to America ; but the effort may yet succeed.

The pages which follow, have been prepared and
printed for private circulation, and the copies printed
are limited in number. It is not known that any at-
tempt has before been made to cover the same ground.
The first attempt of such a kind must necessarily contain
many errors and show many omissions. No one branch
of a family, even in a family so few in the aggregate, can
ever know without error, all that is necessary to make such a
w^ork accurate and full. The compiler of these pages, has,
by communicating as far as he could with all persons likely

to know, endeavored to make the miitter correct as far as
it goes. There are dates of births, marriages, deaths, names
of children which ought to be added ; also the residences
of all whose residence can be lea.raed. It will be esteemed
a favor, if any person, under whose eyes these pages fall,
will kindly send, (without any delay), to the conipiier,
information in that line, to be used in any su^^sequent
printing of the work ; also informr.tion of any errors in
the work as it now appears. No doubt many such errors
will appear. My correspondence in the securing infor-
mation for this work, has shown a m(:>st remarkable lack
of appreciation of the value of accuracy. I have letters
from the same persons in which the same name is spelled
at least in two ways, and different dates of birth, death
and marriage given liy the same writer as of the same
person. In such cases the nec:3ss?iry choice by me may
have been of the wrong date or oi the wrong spelling.

The Prime family formerly of B-owley, Mass., descend-
ants of Mark Prime, are supp<.>sed to be of the same fam-
ily as these, the descendants of James Prime. Mark
Prime and James Prime, believed to have been brothers,
both came to America together or nearly together, and
each consorted with the same kind of people — emigrants
w^ho apparently came from Yorkshire, Enghmd, and there
is reason to think that another member of the same fam-
ily settled in North Carolina about the same time. The
members of the family descended from Mark Prime v/e
know all about. Any iuf formation tending to confirm the
behef stated, as to the North Carolina settler, and infor-
mation of any living representatives of that family, v/ill be
gratefully received by the v/riter of these pages.

The name "Prime" appears here and there in other lines ^
which most diligent effort fails to trnce, and if such be-
long to the family of James or Mark, Vmit fact has not yet
been made to appear. It is possible that the name so
used by such, is not in its original form.

The sniiiU immber of persons of the name " Prime," in
the ei^hfc geiieratioDS whose uames appear on
these pages, is remarkable, when we regard
the much greater niimb€>r in almost every
American family of a.s long residence in this country.
It may be, and probablj^ is, a fact, that there are persons
whose n^mes should appear, whom it has not been possible
to j&nd. The writer at times heard of the name, at different
periods in the past, as the name of persons residing
in the northern part of New York State, also in
Iowa, also in Oregon, who may be entitled to a place in
this recurd, but he has not been able by inquiries and
letters to materialize thein. Any ini'oimation of any
such persons, he will be glad to receive.

Blanks and spaces are necessarily- left in the record on
these pages where no information has been obtained of a
date, or a place, or a name. To those who can fill these
blanks, the book will be- made more satisfactory, and the
compiler will be glad to have the information which will
make every part of the record conjplete and perfect.

Such a book as this, often becomes of larger inter est,
when collateral family connections are added. It is hope d
that a few such additions in the way of foot notes and
appendices will not be without interest.

FIKST GENEEATION IN AMEEICA.

a. James Prime, born in England, was in New Haven
1638 ; was at Milford, Com)., 1644 ; on the map of Mil-
ford (Wcpowang) dated 1646, James Prime appears as a
lot owner ; he was made freeman 1669 ; he died 1685 ;
his wife survived him. He left a considerable estate in
personal property as well as in lands, but no will has
been found. A record appears in the Probate Court of

erty. He left children, one record says three sous
and five daughters, but the names of three children only
can be found.
