Individual Details

Some have believed this man was the son of John R. Price who married Miriam Combs - that no longer seems possible, given his age. And John R. Price did not marry Miriam until 1805 - she could have been a second wife given his age, and he could have had an earlier family, but I have no record to indicate that.

This John Price is consistently listed in the tax records of Logan Co KY as John Price, redhead, to distinguish him from the other John Prices that lived in Logan Co.

There is a peculiar situation regarding the wife/wives of John R. Price. Obviously his wife was named Elizabeth on 27 Mar 1846 when he wrote his will. There is a marriage of John R. Price to Elizabeth Scarborough on 30 Nov 1847, in Logan Co KY which is more than a year after he named an Elizabeth in the will. In the 1850 Census, John R. Price is 75 years old; the lady living in his household is Elizabeth, age 31, born in Tennessee. Apparently John was married to an Elizabeth who was the mother of all his children; she died following the writing of his will; he soon remarried to Elizabeth Scarborough.
