Subject: [MDGEN] a dilemma Ben Price
Date: Sun, 11 Aug 2002 18:22:55 EDT

Hello All,
I am hoping you may have some ideas on this problem.
I am researching Benjamin Price. There are so many I am having to sift thru
them. My Ben was born in 1853. I have have his marriage that says he was from
Kent Co. Md. dated 1878. He was living in Delaware in 1880 when his first
child was born. I have been to the gravesite( Riverview Cem.) so I am
reasonably sure these dates are correct and I have confirmation on the first
childs dob.
I am trying to find his parents. I thought I got a break when I saw the 1860
census for Wilm. De that had A Benjamin age 8 in the HH. That gave a
birthdate of 1852 . I then saw the 1870 census for Cecilton,Md that listed a
Ben Price age 16 birthday of 1854. I have had family members tell me that
they were from Cecil and also Queen Anne Co. No one is really sure.
I spent Saturday in Elkton looking thru the Cecil Whig on micro film hoping
to find a wedding announcement that would mention family members so I could
connect the people. I pretty sure one of them is correct but I don't know
what to look for to figure out which family he belongs to. And then there
that possibility he may be someplace else. I am hoping someone has some
ideas.
Thankyou
Sharon
