JOHN PRICE
The Rev. John Price before removing from the homestead on the Indian
Creek, appears to have been a personal friend of Christopher SAUR, the
noted printer, and wrote, at times, for SAUR’S paper. The land he
acquired in Germantown from his grandfather, he sold, and in 1752, he
took up land in the present Washington Township, Franklin County, Penna.
The Patent to John PRCIE from the Penn’s was dated Oct. 31, 1763. It
was a tract first granted 150 to John LEATHERMAN, then to George GRUBB
of Chester County, who in 1752, sold to John PRICE, then of Philadelphia
Co. Another warrant having been granted, in 1750 to Richard OCAIN for
100 acres, became void, the said John PRICE later purchased the claim of
Richard OCAIN, and the survey included both warrants, John WALLACE’S
land was on the east, other neighbors were John WHITEHEAD, Wm. BLAKELY;
Wm. IRWIN, FOREMAN, HOLLINGER and John CROOKS, 430 ¼ acres. He later
secured part of a tract called “Dryberry” from Wm. IRWIN, and WM.
PATTERSON granted him in consideration of 8975 lbs., another tract not
named. During the years 1780-81, John PRICE was in service under Capt.
Daniel CLAPSADDLE, as were also Daniel and Jacob PRICE. John PRIDE was
an Elder or Bishop in the Conococheague congregation of the Brethren
which was organized not later than 1752, on land commonly called Price’s
Meeting. The Deed from John PRICE to Christian ROYER and Andrew
FREADLY, Trustees of the First Day German Baptist Congregation of
Antietam, was dated March 31, 1797, and recorded at Chambersburg, Penna.
The Rev. John PRICE born about 1725, in Montgomery Co., Penna., died
1803 in Franklin Co., Penna. He came to the present Frnaklin County in
1752. Under Tax list of 1799, Rev. John PRICE appears with Land, 2 Log
