John Brice III

John Brice III (September 22, 1738 – July 1820) was an American lawyer, businessman and political leader from Annapolis, Maryland.

Like many fellow Marylanders, he attended Clare College, Cambridge, and studied law at the Middle Temple in London, being admitted to both in November 1757.

Brice was an active supporter of the revolution, and when a new government was established he served on the Governor's council in 1779 and 1780.

In the election of 1781 he tied with Stephen West, to whom he lost his seat by drawing lots.

The home that John lived in still stands at 211 Prince George Street in Annapolis.
