Price.
correspondent wishes something or,
the Price family Of Hcnrico county, Va.
ms family, as has been stated in
former notice OF the Prices. is different
from those who settled In tie Forks of
Hanover" and who were descended from
the "Welshman Price" though we are
under the impression, they all were orig
sinally from Wales.
The first Price mentioned in early re-
b cords, Is q William Price. who was living
at College Land, near jamestown in 1923,
and is no doubt the first emgrant Of the
family who landed at Jamestown In 1920.
The family OF this William, is not given,
but we have reason to believe. that he
had son, John, who married and moved
to Henrico county where he settled; his
son Mathew Price had tire sons John,
Daniel and Pugh Cor Pew Price all three
of whom are mentioned In old st. Johns
parish record of Henrico. We find there,
that John Price was living there from
1871 to 174s. and was a processoner for
the parislrin those years.
Daniel Price was one Of the church
w,rdens. 1773. and was a processloner
III lib.
Pew. or pugh Price was processioner
in 1743
Francis Price, was processioner 174o:
and Samuel Price was living there, l74s,
and his brother, William 1751.
T John Price married Elizabeth Randolph,
born about 1718. who was tile second
daughter OF Colonel William Randolph and
Elizabeth Beverly, daughter of Colonel.
Bevetly, OF Gloucester county. This
Colonel William Randolph was tho son
OF the first William Randolph. OF "Tur-
key Island" He was called Councillor
Ra ndolph.' and was q member Of the
House OF Bnrgesses"
This John Price is mentioned in the
Randolph family record as Of Wales,
but we do not think he was the first
emlgrant by several generations. He and
his WIFE lived in the Henrico Parish, and
they had issue. but their children are
not given.
Pugh Price married and settled on a
farm near Hampden- Sidney and had
sons, John and Pugh. John mcs.ied
Frances Branch, 1lss. 1t is asked II any
Price held office or founded a colony?
Bishop Meade gives record OF the Rev.
Thomas Price. of Gloucester county, who
preached In that county from 1873 to 1776.
On the oath OF May, 1774, the day. Parlia-
ment had ordered the clos1g Of Boston
harbor. he preached a sermon before the
Virginia House Of Delegates. There is
also mentioned a Captain Price, OF Han
over and have found a dozen or more
who served in the Revolutionary War.
but It is not known that any founded a
colony. unless 1t was the first William
Price. at college Land" who assisted
In founding the colony at jamestown in
1920.
