There was a James Price who married an Elizabeth Hillier. Elizabeth was
living as late as 1947 - she was known as Aunt Lizzie by a lady that now
lives in Frostburg, MD. Does anything like this jive with your family?

I began this search as a result of finding a newspaper story about a
silver/lead mine in WV. Seems a man called "Uncle Jimmy" Jones went from
Streator, Il back to his old haunts of Cumberland, MD. He purchased land in
Hampshire Co., WV (abt 1895) and sold shares in a chartered mining company.
Shareholders were named Williams, Hillier, Price, Busch and McAlister - all
these families seem to be interconnected. I know that Daniel Williams was
from Wales.

My grt-grandfather James Wm. Nelson along with a man named Windle
( relative of Nelson's) were hired to oversee the mine. James Wm.
Nelson and his young family relocated to Streator, IL abt 1882 or so. My
grandfather and father will also born in the Streator area.
