John Price III

(Abt 1650 - May 1711)



The 1910 book by the Rev. Benjamin L. Price has several serious errors. He names the wife of John Price as Jane Cannon and his father as Matthews Price, neither is correct.
ADVENTURERS OF PURSE & PERSON continues the error concerning Mathew Price as his father.

18 Oct 1681, Henrico Co. Benjamin Hatcher sold 150 acres to John Pleasants. This land had belonged to his father William Hatcher and was purchased from Daniel & John Price in 1677; bounded by land of Samuel Woodward and Turkey Island Creek. Commonly know as Turkey Island Point. [This is the original patent of their grandfather John Price.]

John and Jane Price gave a gift of a horse to their daughter Mary on 2 Feb 1690. They gave a gift of 120 acres on Four Mile Creek and a slave named Robin to their son Pew Price on 31 Aug 1710. If he died without issues, land & slave would revert to their son Daniel.
