Job Prince (March 17, 1795 - April 30, 1875) was an American politician from Maine. Originally from Buckfield, Massachusetts (which became part of Maine in 1820) Prince served four terms in the Maine Legislature representing Turner, Maine. Each term was elected annually. In 1834, he spent his first and only term in the Maine House of Representatives. Four years later in 1838, Prince was elected to the Maine Senate. Re-elected a year later, Prince was elected Senate President. Prince won his seat again in 1854. In 1860, he joined the Governor's Council.[1]
