Re: Looking for information on these confederates
Thanks for the kind offer of a picture. Great to hear from you.
I do not think I closely tie to this line. I based my answer that I posted on the fact that there
was a Calvin Price listed in the 1860 census saying he was ditcher and was born in South Carolina.
If you all have deadended on that Price family, you may be headed back to South Carolina.
There was a huge grouping of Prices back in the Spartanburg Distrcit area.
Joseph Price who is supposedly from Virginia went there after the American Revolution.
When he died, his widow, probably a second wife and two of his sons, headed out as it appears there was a fuss over the estate,
Russell who was one of the two sons, was my gggg grandfather.
The Prices landed at Alabama right on the Georgia line. Then the family picked up and moved on to Arkansas floating the
White River in to what became White County in 1836, the year Arkansas came in as a slave state.
In 1840, there were 144 people in what is now White County and as I heard a lady say, they were all Prices or related to them.
Fielding Price who was born in the Spartanburg District was my ggg grandfather who died in the Yankee Prison in Little Rock
for trying to help Gen Sterling Price.
My bunch always claimed kin to Gen. Price and according to oral history, he claimed them too. Frederick Price, brother to Fielding and son
of Russell, was a one of Gen. Price's Lts.
There are two books that I have which relate to my grouping of Prices that goes all the way back to South Carolina and Thickety Creek.
A lady who is a long lost cousin of mine has put these together based on the information found in the records relating to this family
both in South Carolina and Arkansas. It is not written as a genealogy, but as research.
Good luck with your search.
