Hello again, Pat!

John and Diana (Jones) Price are listed in the 1870 and 1880 US Census for
Meigs County, Ohio. He is listed as a coal miner. In the 1900 census, the
"P" in John P. Price's name was added and Diana's obit in the March 16, 1898
newspaper calls her Mrs. John P. Price. I do not know what name the "P"
stands for. The 1900 census gives his birth as Aug/1832 in Wales.

The names of John and Diana's children are: Jacob, James, Letitia, Thomas,
Catherine, John D., David, George, William, and Edith.

Diana Jones' parents were Thomas and Letitia Jones. A member of the
Monmouthshire list found them in the 1851 census at Bedwellty.

Here is Diana's obituary which mentions Elizabeth Mainwaring, granddaughter
of the David and Elizabeth that you found in Llanelly, parish of St Elli:

Obituary, Tribune Telegraph, March 16, 1898 - Mrs. John P. Price

Many friends will be pained to learn that Mrs. John P. Price, who had been
seriously ill for some many months, died at her home in Minersville, Friday
March 11th, 1898. Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at the
Minersville M. E. church, by Rev. G. W. Schmitz, of the Pomeroy Baptist
Church, and were largely attended; interment at Minersville Cemetery.

Deceased was in the fifty fifth year of her age and leaves a family
consisting of a husband and nine children to mourn her loss. She was well
known and highly respected having resided in and near Pomeroy for over forty
years.

The following relatives from a distance attended the funeral: W. A. Tully
and wife {da. Catherine/Cassie}, John D. Price and wife, Thos. Price and
David Price of Charleston, West Va; H. A. Rubadue and wife {da. Letitia} and
Mrs. P. Harding of Columbus, O; Jas. Price and wife {Elizabeth Mainwaring}of
Wellston, O; Mrs. Thos. Lewis, of Coalton, O; Morgan Price of Shawnee, O;
Miss Cassie Williams, of Cincinnati; Robert Williams, of Sistersville, West
Va., and a number from Middleport, Pomeroy, Mason City, and Syracuse.

This is about all I know. Not much about John.

Thanks for your response and your interest.
