Rev., ethnological linguist

As an advance party, the Reverend John Clarke (1802-1879), a BMS missionary to Jamaica and George K. Prince (d. 1865), a medical doctor and former slave owner, sailed for West Africa. On January 1, 1841 they arrived at Clarence on the island of Fernando Po. This was to have been a stopping-off point en route to the Nigerian interior, but Clarke and Prince received a warm reception from the head of the British naval squadron. Freed slaves and other black immigrants pleaded for the establishment of a Christian presence. Clarke and Prince advised that the BMS respond positively, thus providing a catalyst for an undertaking that ended in 1858 when the BMS transferred its base to Cameroon.
