William Price's will was dated 4 Dec 1809 and made in Pittsylvania Co. He stated previous gifts to children. Cutbird to receive the land where he was living, 220 acres, and a parcel bounded the the old Path, the Rocky Branch, and Adkinsons line - 40 acres. Son-in-law William McDaniel $1. The rest of the estate for maintenance of wife Susannah Price, to be distributed by her as she wished. Sons Daniel, Maraday, and Major to be Executors. Signed: William Price. Wit: James Matney, Leroy Shelton, Adin Gray and Joseph Talor. Proved 20 Nov 1815.

There were possibly two more daughters but no definite proof is known. A Joyce Price married 14 Feb 1805 William Soyars of Pittsylvania Co VA. Hannah Price said to have been named in a court suit resulting from the indenture of Susannah Price in 1815 - this paper has not been located. Neither of these possible daughters were listed in the family Bible record. I would strongly suspect that these are daughter of a son, quite likely son William.
