Hello. I just do not know.
From what I have read of Fredrick is all that I know.
If it was Fielding's brother Frederick, he was there as a spy would be my opinion.
Also, there are almost as many Prices as there are Smiths, especially in what is White County.
All of my connectins were born in South Carolina and came to Arkansas while still young in 1836. Their dad and grandpa had died. I was told there was a big fuss over land and other such so they pulled out. The two Price brothers brought their mother and everything they owned into what became White County floating the White River in.
They named all their children after one another or a combination of names.
Also, it appears to me that there were three waves of Price that entered what became White County at three different times. It is just my opinion and that is all it is, but I believe they were all related like cousins telling cousins to come on over.
However, from what I know, I do not believe Fielding's brother Lt. Frederick Price would have been connected to the Union forces. You must remember, these are Prices that you are talking about and they were as loyal as they could be to Sterling Price who was their third cousin. These folks were blood and valued that connection.
I have gathered and formed an opinion through time. It was that Fielding was well respected and he was doing well before the Civil War. I think Frederick was repected too as well as being something of a man of means later on.
Fielding Price is not written up in the Goodspeeds for White County but he is mentioned in some of the introductory material. Frederick who was still alive, was in that Goodspeeds.
I have found long lost cousins from Fielding, but I have never found one
from Frederick.
I know this varies from the Civil War topic, but it impacted the family of Fielding Price so much, that still after all this time, if we have a family reunion, someone brings it up.
My connections were left to starve in White County and that was that.
Thanks so much for all of your help.
Linda
