Dorothy and Anne; I see in your family tree you have a Prine, any 
relation
to the Prines of Prineville?


The short answer is, yes.

Prineville was named for Francis Barnett "Barney" Prine, son of Francis 
Prine and Ailcy/Alice Dealy.   He was born in Missouri in 1841.  His 
father, Francis died in 1843 but his mother remarried and came to Oregon 
with her new husband and several of the children in 1853-1854.  Barney 
was about 12 years old and drove one of the wagons across the plains.  
An interview by Fred Lockley was published in March 1927 in the Oregon 
Journal.    In 1868 Barney went over to what was called  the Ochoco 
country and started a blacksmith shop and store.  Prineville grew from 
that beginning.

Our Prine was William Martin Prine, brother of Francis Prine (and uncle 
of Barney).  He came to Oregon in 1850 and filed a land claim in Linn 
County.  His daughter, Rebecca Prine married Joab Powell Jr., son of the 
Baptist Circuit Rider.
