[S107] Family Histories, https://archive.org/stream/johnpriceemigran00pric/johnpriceemigran00pric_djvu.txt. In 1788 John married Miss Frances Branch of Chesterfield County, Virginia, who gave birth to a son, Daniel Branch Price. After her death John married in 1792 Judith Womack of Cumberland County, who died at the birth of her daughter Elizabeth, August, 1793. In compliance with her dying request the infant was left with Judith's mother, who also took charge of little Daniel while the father went to Kentucky to locate. John Price first bought eighteen hundred acres of land in Bourbon County, Kentucky, but after paying for it and expending some time and much labor in its improvement he discovered that the title under which he had purchased was imperfect. Henry Clay was his attorney and it was for this service that Clay collected his first large fee. Having lost what he had invested, John i Price immediately purchased an improved tract of land in Clark County, Kentucky, lying about six miles west of Winchester. AIj neighboring plantation was owned by Jacob Fishback, who had removed from Virginia about ten years before, and his daughter Anna became John Price's third wife. They lived happily together at this home for more than fifty years and there they both died and were buried. Captain John Price was in point of physique, six feet two inches tall, well proportioned but not at all fleshy. He was dressed usually in a blue suit of homespun cloth and wore a high stock. He was a member of the Salem Presbyterian Church, situated within a short walk of his home. He was noted for his scrupulous honesty, his kindly consideration for his slaves and his love for and interest in his children and grandchildren during his declining years. He died April 2, 1847. WILL OF JOHN PRICE. Price, John. Will. In the name of God, Amen, I, John Price, of Clark County, Kentucky, being of sound disposing mind and memory and calling to mind the uncertainty of life, do hereby make this my last will and testament, revoking and setting aside all other wills heretofore made by me. I commit my body to the ground to be decently buried, and my Soul I commend to God who made it, trusting it to his mercy through the Lord Jesus Christ. This my will and desire, that all my just debts be paid as soon after my death as my executors, hereafter named, can do it; and whereas, my daughter, Betsy W. Spencer, wife of Doctor John Spencer, has been heretofore provided for by me by my giving up to her the whole of the property I got by her mother, and by my giving to her other property besides, and believing that I cannot do as good a part by any of my other children as I have done by her, it is my will that she or her heirs shall receive one portion of such estate and property as I may own at my death, or whatever my property may then consist, or whether it be real or personal, and whereas I have heretofore given money and property in advancement to my son, William, seven hundred dollars, and to my sons, James, Jefferson, Jacob and Daniel, eleven hundred dollars each, besides two horses, cattle and ether property to the value of two hundred dollars each, and for the purpose of making my daughter Louisa equal with them, I do hereby will to her thirteen hundred dollars, and whereas my son William has lived with me and attended to my business for the last eight years, 1 will to him eight hundred dollars, and also one hundred dollars a year for the time he may hereafter live with me, and to make him equal with the others 1 give him a Negro boy named John. It is my will chat the remainder of my property of whatever kind it may be, after the payment of my debts and the Love specified legacies, shall belong to my beloved wife, Anna, during her life and widowhood; at the termination of my wife's estate as aforesaid in my property my executors, or such of them as may act, shall make an equal division of said property among my children, Daniel, James, Jacob and Louisa, and in order to make this division my executors, or such of them as my act, are authorized and empowered to sell and convey my real estate, and all my personal estate, except my slaves, and it is my will that my slaves shall not be sold, but divided without a sale, and my executors and my wife, by mutual consent may, if they think fit, make the before- mentioned division of my said property, or any part thereof before the termination of my said wife's estate, aforesaid, in my said property; but my wife's express consent must be attained to it before any division as aforesaid can be made during her life and widowhood. It is my will that none of my slaves be at any time sold by my wife or children so as to be sent out of the State of Kentucky. It is my will that my Negro man, Primes, be free at my death but permitted to remain with his wife and ciiildren and my wife during his good behavior, and the life of my wife. It is further my will, that out of the proceeds of my estate at the death of my wife, before the above mentioned division shall be made, and in a reasonable time after the death of my said wife, my executors, or such of them as may act, shall pay to my three grandchildren, Anna, Samuel and Mary Price, the children of my son, Jefferson Price, deceased, the sum of two thousand and four hundred dollars to be equally divided between them, but if either of said children die before that time, leaving no child or children, the said sum is to be paid to such of them as may be alive, and if any of them be dead, leaving a child or children, the child | or children to have the portion of their parent, and if they all be dead, leaving no child or children, then the said sum of two thousand four hundred dollars is not to be paid, but is to be divided amongst my children as before provided in this will. It is also my will that if my wife die before my said grandchildren or either of them arrive at the age 9 of twenty-one years, or are married, then the portion of such of them of the said sum of two thousand four hundred dollars is not to be paid by my executors until they arrive £ 7 at the age of twenty-one years or be married, and it is my will that whatever I may see a proper to give or advance to either of my said children at any time hereafter during my life, the amount of such advancement or gift is to be accounted for in the division before mentioned without any interest thereon. I recommend and advise my wife and my executors that if at any time there shall £ be more Negroes or other property than may be necessary and proper to keep on the farm, in that event such surplus Negroes or other property be divided out according to the before-mentioned provisions of this will. I do hereby constitute and appoint my wife, Anna, and my sons, Daniel and William, executors of this my last will and testament, and if either of them die before or after my death, then this is my will that my son, Jacob, act as executor in conjunction with such of them as may survive or be alive. In testimony whereof, I do hereunto set my name and seal on this twentieth day of March in the year one thousand eight hundred and forty-four.
