In former years the writer took very little interest in fam i ly ’ history : bu t when he began to gather data for h is wife s admi ssion m i hi s to membership in the Daughters of the A er can Revolution , fami ly pride was aroused ; and he has since persisted in an en is r atifica d eavor to trace the hi story of h is people . It a further g tion to feel that some success has attended these efforts . This fragmentary sketch has cost some time and expense ; yet it has i been a diversion from the dut es of the pastorate , which every m i i nister needs , at the same t me it has been a labor of loyalty and love . It mi ght appear from the pages of this booklet that our people ai h u r ch were m nly of the Episcopal C , but the record does not jus if E isco t . y such a conclusion In the days of the Colonies , when the p on pal Church was the first the ground , our people with many oth niz im ers , at once recog ed the value and portance of the Sanctuary, ! and so naturally threw their in uence , and gave their support in in mi ma taining the Altar of Jehovah regardless of creed . The fa ly is represented in many of the Protestant churches of the present m time , though a goodly nu ber have been and are now Presbyte 905 m i rians . In the year 1 there were eight ni sters b earing the name of Price , in the Southern Presbyterian Church . So far as one is able to judge the family has been by temperament and thought most naturally inclined to the doctrines of the Presby l i terian faith and po ty . To the family this booklet will no doubt occupy a uniq ue p o sition from the fact that several of the most prominent characters mentioned were Generals in contending armies , during the war between the States : Generals Samuel Woodson Price of Kentucky with William Bedford Royall of Missouri for the Union Cause ;

and General Sterling Price with his sons , General Edwin W . Price i and Colonel Celsus Pr ce , all of Missouri , in the Confederate Army . Certain members of the family who have devoted much care ful study to the subj ect have generously lent their aid and sup

port to the project . The compiler and author wishes especially to hi s il acknowledge obligations , for fam y records , to Miss Katherine

Price , Rice , Virginia ; Miss Mary Womack , Lunsford , Virginia ;

Miss Marie Louise Rhodes , Cartersville , Virginia ; Judge Asa D . in m i . . . Watk s , Far ville , Virgin a ; Mr J H Price , Marshall , Mis MI S ui ur i . . . . so ; Col . Celsus Price , and Dr F L Henderson , St Lo s ,

Mathewes , and as there was a Samuel Mathewes in Jamestown im about that t e , I see no reason to doubt . Another son of John h i s Price was Mathewes , who had three sons . John Price , after ” second marriage , moved and settled in Henrico County, Virginia . — v i b . Manuscript written Mrs Eva Grant Maloney , Craig C ty

Virgini a . ) From these authorities it appears that the following conclu sions can b e drawn and beyond controversy 1 — I t seems certain that the John Price of Henrico County ’ hi mentioned in Burke s story , was the same who lived on the “ ” Neck of Land in Charles City County , which was near to

Jamestown . 2— i That John Price , with Mary , his first wife and Will am , 1 620 ’ their son, came over in . It is presumed that John Price s home was destroyed with many others at the time of the James 1 622 I t n town Massacre , May . seems that Mary was slai at this m time or she did not live long after coming to A erica . William , 1 623 the son, is found in , at College Land , near Jamestown , and i there raised a fam ly . 3 — Ann Mathewes , a young girl of about seventeen win 1 620 ters , came over in the ship Francis Bonaventure in August , . (There seems to b e some reason for doubting that she was the i daughter of Capt . Samuel Mathewes s nce the authorities agree ’ i 1 620 Wh l H otten s that she arrived on the Bonaventure dur ng , i e

List gives the date of Capt . Samuel Mathewes as John could not resist her gracious manner, her sterling q ualities and i n womanly character, so soon found h mself pledgi g his heart and n hand , which were accepted by the you g girl of tender years , and 1 624 40 in in the Muster of Charles City we find John Price , aged , An n 21 i 3 and , his wife , aged , w th Mary, their daughter , aged months . 4 — As John Price owned land at this early date near the ” di Falls of James River, it seems b eyond spute that he was the ni i proge tor of the Henrico fam ly of Prices . John Price lived on the “ Neck of Land in Charles City hi County, w ch was near to Jamestown , and later, near the ” l i Falls of James River . Both he and his son Wi l am , who l lived at Co lege Land , were planters , home builders and as in on l i n sisted the founding of a Colony , but it is y their muster i that we find them in serv ce . Al l those coloni sts not indentured servants and not of the i u il servant class , were mustered nto service to help b d the i Emp re , and of these Gentlemen Freeholders , John Price was one . i It is therefore a source of grat fication , as well as satisfaction in to know that our ancestors left their native land , the Old World an d in set sail for the New World , to participate the pleasures , as well as the burdens of the shareholders of the Virginia Company

the germ of Am erican growth and greatness . This began just thirteen years after Jamestown became a perman ent settle i ment , six years after the found ng of New Amsterdam and before f ’ the landing O the Pilgrim Fathers . MA T T H E W E S1 PRICE .

So a nephew and uncle found a help mate in the same home . i i If Pugh was laboring under the laws of predest nation, certa nly m ’ Benja in was actuated by man s free agency, and the greatest di harmony prevailed . It is not strange that these two stinctive doctrines taught in the Presbyterian church should have such a practical demonstration among those having a predilection for “ that faith ; because these difficult ( D doctrines are susceptible of l ex em l ification di dai y p in the or nary walks of life , and as a result strong men are produced . Benjamin Haskins Price married the second time Temper u i ance Watkins H ndley , nee Temperance Watk ns ; their marriage l 6th bond was executed in Prince Edward County , Virginia , on the 1 8 1 6 . day of October , Temperance Watkins was a granddaughter of Colonel William Morton (Revolutionary fame) of Staunton

OH H J MORTON PRICE . i (Son of Benj . Hask ns Price ,

1 8 1 8 - 1 8 94 . The subj ect of this sketch was one of the substantial citizens ’ ini i h i of Cumberland County , Virg a . He rece ved from s father s “ ” estate the Weaver plantation in Prince Edward County ; this ” he sold, and purchased Hopewell , which was , and is now , a very

fi . ne piece of property The dwelling which he built for his bride ,

Martha Katherine Spencer, is still standing ; it was erected with m i nails made by hand in a blacks th shop . The old tobacco barn which is in front of the house , I remember when it was covered with shingles , which were fastened on the sheathing with wooden pegs .

John Morton Price was a man of the highest integrity , and honor ; a most generous and charitable friend and neighbor, ever was ready and willing to assist others , even when it a great sacri

fice to himself and family . In politics he was a Democrat , and Hi r sch el 0 supported Stephen A . Douglas and V . Johnson in 1 8 6 .

He opposed secession , but when war was declared between the n ni States , and Virgi ia withdrew from the U on , he volunteered for service in the defense of his State , home and property ; went to h m Ric ond , and was rej ected on account of not being able physi

cal l v . in to stand the hardships of field service Not going person , he then purchased a substitute for which he paid one thousand l a m dol ars in gold ; c me ho e , and raised on the farm provisions for

y . the arm until the end came However, his son , Sion Stanley l b oy of 1 6 Price , en isted , being a years , and was stationed with the c-e o o c o c-e-ca fi-( o fifi

in m reserves at Hi g h Bridge Cu berland County , under Colonel t Booker . When Petersburg was evacuated , he with Cap ain Ja

111 t o Blanton were detailed to take the Bank of Farmville , go n d i i Bucki gham County, and hide same ; ischarg ng th s duty, they reported to the retreating Confederates and surrendered at Appo m i mattox Court House . Both Federal and Confederate ar es halted on Hopewell plantation for a night only a few days previ ou s to the surrender of Lee . Af ter this John Morton Price had to begin a new life , facing

i i . new cond tions , and solv ng what to him were strange problems — From this severe blow which paralyzed the whole South , and i i — h e especially Virg n a never fully recovered , yet he provided hi s k well for family , and ept Hopewell plantation in a high state of cultivation . John Morton Price and his wife celebrated their golden wed di n 22n 1 8 92 o d . ng the day of December, This was a notable event , in which the members of the family and friends in Cum b erland

n . and Prince Edward Cou ties , Virginia , participated They were humble Christians , and members of the old Cumb erland Presby terian Church , which is just one mile from the old homestead . They enjoy ed religious instruction from such men as Doctors

a R . J mes A . Leach , Wm . Kirkpatrick , . L . Dabney , James M W h ar e y, and William Stoddard .

that town about that time ( the Rev . John Hudson being minister there ) , and so largely 1 8 28 in and so long refre sh ed many of our churches . In he was ordained a ruling elder l e that church , and elected its session c erk , and he served his congr gation in both capaci - ties to the end of h i s days . During the thirty two years of his eldership he probably sat as f r e q u e tl y in our church courts as any Kentucky elder ever did ; and h is services as

Trustee of Centre College , and Director of the Theological Seminary at Danvill e , were I n long and cheerfully bestowed . a long and useful service to the church , in many ways , offic e - he became most extensively acquainted with her members and bearers , and was everywhere tru sted a n d loved by them ; and few per sons were so accurately informed of h e r s n n n o n s i actual po itio , and o e more ready , by wise c u el , by correct act on , and by th e liberal contributions , to aid her in every good work . He was one of small number ’ of original sign e r s of the Act a n d Testim ony in 1 8 3 4 ; a man resolute for God s savi n g h is truth , in proportion as meek and quiet spirit lived upon it as the life of his soul . n h n s Rememberi g all these t i g , how does it add to his claims upon our veneration ; to a call to mind that he was seriously an invalid , but uncomplaining , from his e rly youth , 1 8 1 h is u ! . 3 until last ho r Maj Price was twice married ; first , in , to a daughter of the late 1 83 6 Col .

GENERAL STERLING PRICE .

( Son of Pugh Williamson Price ,

1 809 - 1 8 67 .

r General Sterling Price was born in P ince Edward County, 1 8 09 Virginia , in , was educated at Hampden Sidney College , and 1 831 went to Missouri with his father, , first settling in Fayet te and two years later at Keytesville in Chariton County , where he in engaged merchandising for two years , and then settled on a large farm eight miles south of that town and engaged in a gr icu l 1 861 tural pursuits till .

Sterling Price married Martha Head in Randolph County , 1 4 h 1 833 t . Missouri , on the day of May, Martha Head was the daughter of Captain John Head and Nancy Burton , who emi 1 830 n grated to Missouri in from Orange County Virgi ia . Sterling Price was thirty- one years old when he took his seat 1 840 in the Eleventh General Assembly of Missouri in , and was unanim ously elected Speaker of the House ; in 1 842 he was r e elected to both positions , thereby showing his great popularity , r as well as his wisdom , judgment , and tact , in uling a legislative body . In 1 844 he was elected to the Uni ted States Congress ; when m the Mexican War broke out he resigned , and was com issioned by President Polk to raise and command a regiment of Missou rians (Second Missouri Mounted Volunteers) , and before the war fli closed he rose to the rank of Brigadier General . In this con ct his ability to successfully handle troops was shown , and the results wei e not only appreciated by the men on the field of action , but also by the authorities i n Washington . In 1 8 52 G en ei al Sterling Price was elected Governor of Mis a s — D em oci h souri an anti Benton at , defeating the W ig candidate . of Mr . Winston , who was a grandson Patrick Henry . During his term of office he urged the legislature to pass a ’ law increasing the Governor s salary , thereby intending to benefit in his successors . The l egislature , however, provided for the i crease to begin at once , but Governor Sterl ng Price refused and w i hi s ould not accept the add tional salary during term of office .

On the expiration of his term as Governor, he was appointed 61 m i c n 1 8 . State Bank Com ssioner , whi h position he held u til May ,

He was then appointed by the Governor , Major General of the

M. issouri State Guards The true position of General Sterli ng Price cannot be clearly understood without knowing that in 1 8 60 he was a decided Uni on man , and supported Stephen A . Douglas for President . He was a memb er of the convention which declared that Missouri would 75 1 5 not secede , was made chairman , the vote b eing for Price to for Nathaniel W . Watkins , a half brother of Henry Clay .

General Price soon found himself in the Confederate army , 1 8 62 ni m i or . and was com ssioned Maj General in March , He orga zed for his men and trained them service on Cowskin Prairie , where ”

r i . prai e grass , lean beef, and water were in abundance He had n or mi neither arms litary stores of any kind , and no money to buy ” them , if any had b een for sale , vet he soon had men armed and ready for battle . Mu l l h ! Price and cC oc put to ight Lyon and Sigel at Spring “ ” or i field , Bloody H ll , and not long afterwards he alone captured “ in l 3 Lexington an a most bloodless victory, which consisted of , 500 5 750 prisoners , pieces of artillery , stands of arms , horses , m m about worth of co issary stores , and a large amount of i other property . He also obta ned the restoration of in money which had been taken from the bank , and recovered the great seal of the State and the public records , which were said to di ” have been taken from their proper custo an . in in 1 864 Carr , in mention g the raid led by Price September, , “ says : Entering the southeastern portion of the State at the head i of men , this gallant officer came w thin forty miles of Saint f Louis , passed in sight of Jef erson City , and moved up the Mis i c sour , captured Lexington and Independen e . In the course of

“ mi - the raid he marched les , fought forty three battles and m i ” skir shes . The men with General Price and in the Confederate army ” from Missouri are said to comprise the whole State en masse ; though there were about four in the Union army for every one in the Confederate ranks . i i General Sterling Pr ce , fam liarly known as Old Pap to the m “ men under his com and, is a name to conjure with in Missouri i h im and the Southwest . His sold ers loved with a true and loyal h im devotion . He permitted them to get close to , and he in turn i di was one of them ; without stand ng aloof, he maintained the g n it i H is y of his position , possess ng the esteem and respect of all . th e magnetism was truly wonderful , and resources with which he h im i was endowed made a master of almost any situation , noth ng i n strange therefore that he succeeded being a leader among men . Hi s i greatness and gen us , which was exhibited in so many ways i i il h im preced ng and dur ng the Civ War, so endeared to the people n of the Southwest that with the exception of Lee and Jackso , no man among all the cherished heroes is remembered with more ardent and sincere affection . l It is not my purpose , nor is this the p ace for any extended

d . on l l l account of this great man as a sol ier His s , Co on e Ce sus i bio r a h v Pr ce , told me that a personal friend was writing his g p . After the war General Price returned to Saint L ouis and e n gaged in the business of a commission merchant , and died ther e 29th 1 867 on the day of September , .

A LETTER FROM HON . JOHN R . ABNEY .

REV . B . L . PRICE , Alexandria , Louisiana .

My Dear Sir z— This is the first opportunity I have had to acknowledge your letter of October 30. a n d There is a hamlet in the northern part of Derbyshire , which is called Abney has been called such for hundreds of years ; but no member of the Abney family now

500 . owns it , or has owned it for at least years In the South part of Derbyshire is a place called Willesley Hall . Within fifty yards of the Hall is a chapel or little church .

In this church is a sepulchral sl ab where are buried John and Mary Abney , his wife , 1 505 . Beside it is a slab , under which are buried George and Ellene Wolseley , his wife , ’ “ “ 1 578 . 1 8 45 : In Burke s Landed Gentry of England , published about , it is stated The family of Abney is of great antiquity in the County of Derby , where they were seated at Abney in the Peak , about the time of the Conquest . ’ “ In Nichols History of Leicestershire , the Abney family and its pedigree as it 1 4 1 8 0 00 . 2 1 2 . 3 . . 03 then stood ( ) and back to about , are mentioned in Vol III , part , at p It there relates that John Abney about 1 300 married an heiress of the name of Inge w a r d b . y , and thus became the owner of Willesley Hall and estate His history or how H0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 -a o o o w 0 0 O C ‘ G ca ni e or hen he ~ rom Abney in the Peak , is n ot give n a n d I d o n ot kno as th e re w f , w , are few records of the time between William t h e Conqueror a n d 1 300 extant ; but t h e n i n tra itio the amily over th e re is that he as rom Ab n e a n d that Abn e y got its d f w f y , f r om name Aubigny in Norman y .

A b n e s . a extinct in England , but represented in America by all the y that I know P ul “ a o Abney . a lieutenant , mentioned in the Colonial Records , published some years g , and B 1 690 annett Abney were great grandsons of Edmond , and settled about in Virginia and ’ n h i d e . s died there . The Register of St Mary s Church , Leicester , wherein Edmo d and

sce n d a n ts . are buried , shows their baptism there D a n n ett Nathaniel Abney was , I think , a grandson of this , and went to South 1 772 Carolina from Hanover County , Virginia , with Isabella Madison , his wife , about ; 0 11 but the Court House in Hanover County was burned during after the Civil War , and a I do not know how it could be now pr oved by record evidence . The P trick Henry you

mention as her guardian must have been Rev . Patrick Henry , uncle of the orator ; for a n d n ot Rev . P . Henry was rector of a church in Hanover County about that time ; I do think she could have been a niece of James Madison ; for he was graduated at Prince t on h w s os in 1 77 1 i I remember aright about the time she e n t to South a ro i n a .

But my understan ng has D n n e b een that Nathaniel was a son of a tt of Hanover County , who n was a son of Dan n ett who came to Virgi ia from Leicester, Eng land . l A deed in Halifax County , Virginia , speaks of the wil of 1 752 n ot B annett of Hanover County , made in ; but the deed does i give the name of h i s children . The w ll doubtless does ; and it may b e in existence ; but I have never seen it ; and the record of it at

Hanover Court House was destroyed as above stated . Before the Civil War in which so many records of Virginia were burned by the Federal troops , it would have been an easy matter to have gotten all the data . It is a pity that some member

i n ot . of the fam ly did get it , and put it in permanent form Captain Nathaniel Abney was a magistrate before the Revo ” l u i n n hi t o and a promine t man in s section of the country . In “ Burke ’ s Landed Gentry ” and “ Burke ’ s Armory we find a descr iption of the Abney coat of arms to which the Am erican m i branch are entitled .
