William and Arty Prince in Census, 1850

William Prince and Arta Prince were enumerated twice in census in 1850.

[RECORD NO. 1]:

1850 US Census: First Listing for William Prince and family (Wm D Prince, Habersham, Georgia).
[Indexing Data: 1850, Georgia: Habersham, Hall and Hancock counties (NARA Series M432, Roll 72)].
Enumeration date almost illegible: 13? August 1850 (see following page, as more legible)
Habersham County, Georgia, Sheet ??*, Document image no. 9 of 478, Dwelling 25:
(Line no., Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Birth):
Line 1, Wm D Prince, 66, M, Blacksmith, born NC.
Line 2, Alta Prince, 36, F, , born Virginia.

Line 8, A H P, 5, M, --, born " (Kentucky).
Line 9, B T P, 4, M, --, born " (Kentucky).

[In the listed names of the children, the terminal "P" apparently stands for prince. This enumerator used initials in almost every listing for his area.]
[Note: In the last line, on the same page, after families, appears a Jos. Prince, aged 48? or 68?, whose apparently lives alone].

-----------------------------------------
[RECORD NO. 2]:

1850 US Census: Second Listing for William Prince and family (William Prince, Murray, Georgia).
[Indexing Data: 1850, Georgia: Monroe, Montgomery, Morgan, and Murray counties (NARA Series M432, Roll 78)].
Enumeration date: 8 November 1850.
Murray County, Georgia, Sheet 214*, Document image no. 215 of 299, Dwelling 1465, Family 1465:
(Line no., Name, Age, Sex, Occupation, Birth):

------------------------------------------
*Sheet nos. unavailable or ambiguous: illegible on Habersham County image; ambiguous on Murray County listing -- original has 214, but previous and following pages have been overwritten with other numbers and also stamped.

[Abbrev. standards: M - Male; F - Female; " (or) do - ditto; Va - Virginia; KY - Kentucky; NC - North Carolina]

Note the major differences: Initials used in place of names in Habersham County. "Wm D Prince" (of Habersham County listing) appears as "William Prince" in Murray County listing; "Alta" (of Habersham County listing) appears as "Arty" in Murray County listing; A H P or A H Prince (of Habersham County listing) apparently appears as Jackson Prince in Murray County listing.

Rachel Prince: Divorce Petition Against William Prince
Lawrence Co., Kentucky, 1835 (Transcript)
https://northgeorgiakin.blogspot.com/2017/11/divorce-petition-rachel-prince-against.html

The divorce record references the earlier marriage of the couple in Russell, Virginia, about 1810; and lists as a complaint that William Prince had taken up with a mistress, Arty Mullins (estimated about 1827-1828), and had two children by her.
