*************************************
John Price (1584-1628) of Wales, the first known Price immigrant to America, came to Virginia in May 1610 on the ship "Starr," settling in Jamestown. In 1619, he was given 150 acres of land by the British crown. In 1625, he was one of 32 members of the House of Burgesses who appealed to Charles I of England for rights (see document at right).
Lineage of John Price has been approved by the Order of the Garter in England. Descendants are eligible for membership in the National Society, Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede.
The Society of the Daughters of the Barons of Runnemede, founded in 1921, seeks to remember the barons who secured the first great charter of English rights and liberties (the predecessor to the U.S. Constitution) called the Magna Carta, which was ratified by the tyrannical King John after his surrender to the barons "in the meadow which is called Runnemede" on the banks of the Thames River on June 15, 1215. The society also promotes appreciation for the principles of liberty insured by constitutional government that originated under the Magna Carta.
Membership in the society consists of women who descend from one of the 25 barons who were instrumental in enforcing the Magna Carta. These 25 are called "sureties." Membership is by invitation of a member of the society and endorsed by two other members, one of whom knows the candidate personally.
The definitive book on the Price family is "Ancestors and Descendants of John Price, Immigrant to Virginia 1610-11," by Vina Chandler Price, 1988, with appendix by Margaret Price Scruggs Carruth, founder of the Society of the Barons of Runnemede. This appendix traces the genealogy of John Price to King Henry II of England, who reigned 1154-1189.
