Fourth Generation

221. Major J. PRICE⁹² was born on 21 April 1793.¹¹⁸

Middle initial may be I or J; appears different in nearly every record.
I's and J's are made identically in the various records of Logan County. Sometimes, eventually the rest of the name makes it plain. Most transcribed and abstracted records use "I" even in cases where I know without a doubt that the initial was "J". Given that few names do start with "I", in my opinion most of these should be J's. The middle initial of Major Price is no exception - it is highly likely his name was Major Johnson Price.

Logan Co Tax Rolls:
Major Price first appeared in 1814 with 270 acres on the Gasper River, Harvey [I have other deeds that refer to Harvey's miliary survey - I'm sure this Harvey]. 4 slaves, 3 horses. Wigginton's Co - 1814. Whitsitt's Co - 1815

1820 Logan County Census, he is age 26-45 (he was 27) with probable spouse age 16-26 and two sons under 10. By 1830 he is age 30-40 and so is spouse; two sons age 10-15.

Corner to Joseph Morton; head of a spring; corner to William C. Price, rock on the N side of the road, thence with the road; corner to William Poore. Signed: Major J. Price. Rec. 2 Jun 1834.

The death date given for Major Price in the Price Records is the same as his wife's which is on her grave marker. I think this is highly unlikely.
