The Price book states that Major Price married Sarah Wallers. Marriage was recorded in Pittsylvania Co VA; she was the daughter of John Waller who gave permission. Joel Waller was the bondsman. This must have been a brief first marriage. John Waller's will does state his daughter Sarah had married Major Price and was deceased.
Major apparently married (perhaps 2nd) on 13 Oct 1803 to Susan Lawson who died 11 Feb 1822. Major Price died on 3 Mar 1829. Children of Major Price and Susan Lawson were Nancy Fuqua Price, Sophia D. Price, Thomas L. Price and Martha Allen Price.
