John Brice, Jr.

John Brice, Jr. (1705–1766) was an early American settler and leader in colonial Maryland. He was a member of the Governor's Council and a chief justice in the colony's court.

John was born in Anne Arundel County, Maryland where his parents, John and Sara (Howard) Brice were already prominent settlers. He married Sarah Frisby there in 1730 and their children included John III and James Brice who would both also become leaders.

John Jr. entered public service as the clerk of Anne Arundel County in 1738 and served in that post for many years. He enter politics as an alderman in Annapolis shortly after. He was appointed to the Maryland Court in 1751 and was named to the Governor's Council. He would serve in both offices until his death, and by the end of his term on the court he was the chief justice. He served twice as the mayor of Annapolis (1755-1756 and 1762-1763).

Both of his sons would follow him with terms as mayor, and James would become Governor of a free Maryland.
