Fifth Generation

83. Price Nathaniel THOMAS was born on 10 August 1834 in Virginia.⁴⁰ He died on 18 August 1865 at the age of 31 in Danville, Pittsylvania County, Virginia.

There is often seen another child of Nathaniel & Rebecca as Nathaniel Thomas. He cannot be accounted for in the earlier censuses. I believe he is simply a confusion with Price, whose middle name was apparently Nathaniel.

I had difficulty finding Price Thomas after the marriage record. There is one entry in the 1860 census in Caswell Co that seems to be him.

T. N. Thomas, age 25, born Virginia. W. J. Thomas, age 24 [female], b. VA. Rebecca age 5, b. VA. And N. P. Thomas [male] age 3, b. N.C. I suspect the initial in both Price and Mariah's names may have been transcribed wrong by the enumerator when he recopied his data.

12 Mar 1857 Philip H. Thomas, guardian of Junius P. Thomas to Price N. Thomas of Caswell to receive from estate of Nathaniel Thomas dec'd.

There are also a number of slaves in the 1860 slave schedule, owner listed as "P.N. Thomas"

I have no clue to this one? She would have been born 1840 if she's telling the truth about her age - if she's the widow of Price, she would have been only 14 at her marriage. However in 1860, she was already 24.
