Hello - here are some things I have on the Prices of Va & Jessamine Co., Ky on to Howard Co., Mo..........

From what I have William Price (d 1808 & m Mary Cunningham) and John Price, Jr (m 1. Elizabeth Redd Major & m2 Susannah Gano) were brothers. John Price, Jr by deed below stated he lived in Franklin Co., Ky. The "Jr" is on his marriage bond.

See my earlier posts for records of John Price wife Elizabeth & Alford Williams whose wife was their daughter - from the Va. Genealogist & Lexington newspapers &c.

There are many deeds for this Price Family - here is one which outlines the heirs of John Price -
