PRICE, Miles
Davis Township
1883 History of Henry County Missouri, National Historical Co pg 740
Miles Price was born in Warren County, Missouri, October 25, 1834. His father was Job Price, and his mother's maiden name was Sarah Bryant. The former was born in St. Charles County, in 1812, and his parents were companions of Daniel Boone and were with Boone when he lived at the present site of Brunswick. His grandfather settled on Camp Branch, Warren County, where he died, and where the family have since resided. Miles is the eldest of eleven children, all of whom have been spared by death's hand. Four are living in this county: William C., Rhoda, (wife of J. F. Archer), and Frances (wife of William C. Langford). Miles resided in Warren County until of age, when he came to Henry County, and in 1856 he entered a half section of land in Clinton Township. Remaining two years he returned to Warren County, and in 1861 entered Maj. Breckenridge's regiment, with which he served until it was disbanded at Little Rock. The regiment was afterward reorganized at Red River, by Col. A. W. Slayback, and he was elected captain of Company E. In 1863 he was taken prisoner in Boone County, and after a confinement of three months in the Gratiot Street prison, he in company with six others made his escape, staying until the close of the war in Texas. In 1865 he returned to Warren County, and for five years was engaged in the Texas cattle trade. Coming again to Henry County, he settled on a tract of land which his father had secured some time previous. In 1881 he removed to his present farm, which contains 160 acres. He has a valuable tract of land and has erected recently a handsome dwelling, which presents a most imposing appearance, standing as it does, upon a commanding eminence. Mr. Price was married March 1, 1876, to Miss Julia Calvird, a sister of W. B. Calvird. They have three children: John K., Edna and an infant.
