Individual Details

The wife of John R. is unknown. He had other children: Stocel, America who married Burr Combs and died in Lewis Co MO, and Benjamin C., Elizabeth, and Henry Clay, all born after 1814 in Fayette Co KY. There was an earlier John Price in Fayette Co - whose wife's name was Sarah. This earlier John seems to be neither this John R., nor the John Price who was a collateral relative of William Haden of Logan Co KY.

Possible avenues for further research:
Note: 1833 Will of John R. PRICE of Fayette Co, KY, is proved in both Fayette Co, KY and Monroe Co, MO, mentioning property in Monroe and naming, among others, daughter, America COMBS and son-in-law, Burr COMBS (Combs Researcher Kathy England)
The marriage records of Clark Co KY have the marriage of John R. Price to Mariam Combs - found reference on FamilySearch - marriage took place 26 Feb 1805, Winchester, Clark, KY
The Fayette Co., KY will of Gen. Leslie Combs of Fayette Co., KY (son of Benjamin & Sarah RICHARDSON Combs) refers to the sale of their father's home place to Robert BROOKINGS, etc., apparently the following 110 acre tract, which was inherited by seven of the eight children (and of their heirs) of Benjamin & Sarah (son Marquis having died s.p.); i.e., William Richardson Combs, Fielding Combs, Samuel Richardson Combs; Elizabeth Combs (Bostick?); Mariam Combs Price; John H.
