My Prices left the Thickety Creek area of Spartanburg District of South Carolina in the very early part of the 1830's.
Their mother was the second wife and it is believed there was a squabble over land, inheritance and money.
They first settled in Alabama right on the western Georgia border in the northern part of Alabama. I cannot remember if it was
Benton County before or after they came and went.
I think there were probably already kinfolks in the general Alabama area.
In 1836, when Arkansas entered the Union as a slave state, the whole crew picked up and headed on to Arkansas.
My ggg grandfather was Fielding Price and he was just a teenager when they floated into what is now White County,
Arkansas bringing everything they had on the barges.
Joseph was his grandfather and he fought in the American Revolution. It is believed but not proven that he was from
Virginia. Sterling Price and Fielding and his brother Frederick all claimed kin to each other and understood the
family connections. Unfortunately, I do not.
All of this is strictly from memory.
However I do have copies of the research that Jo Kilduff who is a Price descendant has collected
through the years. She is the authority on all of the Prices who made it on to Arkansas. If you think she might
be able to help you, write to me at MissLata@sbcglobal.net and I will give you her address.
