Re: Uriah Price, a possible relation
It is very possible since Uriah Price's father Joseph Price was out of South Carolina and with the time frame
being correct, that we shared a common ancestor. Was it the Spartanburg District????
In my family, it went Joseph Price who died in South Carolina, his son Russell who came on to Arkansas in 1836,
from the very edge of Alabama almost on the Georgia line having left South Carolina two years before.
It was the mother of Russell who was a second wife, and her other son, all children, slaves, animals, the whole lot floated in
on the White River. They landed in what became White County, Ar. the year that Arkansas was admitted as a slave state.
Russell had at least three sons, Fielding, Frederick and Thomas. Now I am strictly working from memory.
Fielding Price, who was my great grandmother's grandfather who had guardianship of her, then died in the Yankee Prison in
Little Rock on Feb. 1, 1865; Thomas died rather young, and Frederick lived to be an old man.
The Prices in White County are well documented and claim descent from as Turner ancestor who fought in the
American Revolution. It is believed that our ancestor Joseph Price also fought but no one has ever proved it.
