• Notes

  He was seventeen years of age when with his father he came to America. He was a weakly youth and his father feared he would not live to have issue. And yet so anxious was the parent to leave a name and proterity behind him that he encouraged his son to marry while still very young. It is said that an Indian girl, on account of her excellent physique and good health, was selected and became his wife. This tradition in many forms has been firmly believed in by many of the family though denied by others. The writer on one occasion asked Abraham H. Price, what he knew of it and he said that he often heard his father speak of the "Indian grandmother and it is not only tradition but truth." Abraham H. Cassel, the noted historian, informed me "there was no doubt but that John Price's wife was an Indian maiden." James Y. Heckler, another local historian of note, said in 1888: "Her parents and family resided on the farm (Price's) in a log house on the other side of the Indian Creek, until the latter part of the last century or longer." Two children resulted from this union, Daniel, and John, the latter born after his father's death and the grandfather took them in his care, although he died before John reached his majority.[Jacob Price.FTW] [Brøderbund WFT Vol. 1, Ed. 1, Tree #3715, Date of Import: Mar 26, 1999] From: "The Price Family - A Geneology of The Descendants of Rev. Jacob Price Evangelist & Pioneer", compiled for the Price family association by Geo. F.P. Wanger. Harrisburg, PA. The Evangelical Press, 1926.

(This version is believed by many and denied by others.) 2 Children: Daniel and John. Latter was born after his father died.
