rince⁵ Landers (Prince⁴, Amos³, Richard², Thomas¹), born about 1765, died before 12 Nov. 1804.

He married 21 July 1796 Love Davis (Falmouth Town Records), born about 1771, died 10 Oct. 1845 "ae. 74". Her parentage has not come to light, though she may have been a relative of Elizabeth (Davis) Landers, wife of John⁴ Landers. She married secondly, in 1804 Levi⁵ Landers.

Prince Landers, Jr., of Falmouth, by a deed 10 July 1795, bought land there from Presbury Wing which is described as "lying in the Plaine" which his father (i.e. the grantee’s father) gave Wing, the grantor, "by deed of preference" (Falmouth Town Deeds, Barnstable County Deed Registry, 2:3). This instrument was witnessed by Joseph Landers and Barnabas Crowell. As we shall see, in 1827 Love (Davis) (Landers) Landers, her daughter Eunice, her second husband, Levi Landers, and Abigail (Fish) Landers sold land which had belonged to her first husband, Prince Landers, and the latter’s brother Joseph⁵ Landers, thus making clear the relationships between the grantors.
