Among the distinguished families o.
Welsh origin it would be hard to find on
of greater distinction than the Prices
The first of the name was a son of Rhys
and was called ZAP Rhys,'' or son o.
Rhys, and therefore took as his family
name Price. The surname was probably
not established till the eleventh oil
twelfth century. or possibly even later.
The first Price in this country was one
John Price. who was born in Wales in
1855. He sailed for the New World with
his second wife, Ann. in the Star arriv-
ing in Virginia in 1870. John and Ann
Price were among the first settlers of
Henrico County.
Johns son Matthew was five years old
at the time of the migration, and was left
in the old country to be educated. In
1886, when he was twenty, he came to
this country in the George ]. Severn. and
Joined his father in Henrico County. Mat
thew's son John also lived in Henrico
County, and married one Jane. by whom
he had two sons. John and Pugh.
This John had four chidren-Eliza,
Jane, John, and Thomas. Thomas, the
second son, was born in 1854 and lived in
Coolwater. Hanover County. Va. He was
an officer in the Revolutionary War. BY
his wife, Barbara Winston. he had twelve
children. This branch of the Price fam
lily intermarried with the following dis
tinguished connections: boswell, Crutch-
field. Berkeley, Mosby. Dabney, Overton,
RaAdolph, and Winston.
Pugh Price, the second son of John.
and the great-grandson of the original
John, had six children: John. Pugh, Dam

the second child. was the father of Gen.
Sterling Price. of the Confederate army.
He 1t was who raised a regiment for the
Mexican War and later served as gov

the civil war he was made major general
and at the time of his death, in 1861, he
