[Melissa's note: This message got posted to the list on Monday, but I guess no one sent an answer to Fredreica. She re-sent her post today] I need a geography lesson to track down my STANFORD and PRICE families... My ancestor, John R. STANFORD married Catherine Henrietta (or Henrietta Catherine) PRICE on 28 March 1849 in Drew, Arkansas. According to the 1860 Census for Marengo County, Alabama, John R. STANFORD was 39 years of age and born in Ark. He was a physician. Catherine Henrietta PRICE died 14 Oct. 1856 in Shiloh Township, Marengo County, Alabama. There is a John R. STANFORD living in Monroe County, AR in 1836, according to the Arkansas Territory Tax List. This is from an ancestry.com list. I don't know how to view the original or what information might be on it. On the 1850 Census for Jefferson County, AR there is a John STANFORD and a R.U. STANFORD living in Pine Bluff. On the 1850 Census for Drew County, AR there are 3 Isaac D. PRICE listed. Henrietta PRICE had a brother named Isaac PRICE and their father was named Isaac PRICE. Their mother Mary FOSTER died about 1864 in Ark. On the 1860 Census for Jefferson County, AR, there are two Issac PRICE listed. Other PRICE family members in Arkansas between 1850 and 1880 are Josiah Reese PRICE, John Foster PRICE, Milton Josephus or Joseph PRICE and Richard PRICE. I find Josiah Reese PRICE as Josiah, Reese, Reece, J. Reese, and Reese J. Either there are several men with this name or he lived in Vanburen Township, Crawford Co.; Union Township, St. Francis Co.,; Augusta Township, Woodruff C., AR. Josiah Reese PRICE recorded land through the Fayetteville Land Office, as did Richard PRICE. Richard PRICE also recorded land through the Camden Land Office, as did Isaac PRICE. John PRICE also recorded land through both offices, but I have no idea which one(s) migh be a member of my PRICE family. I can find little information on Milton J. PRICE, except that he served in the 9th Arkansas Infantry in Company I. I don't know from which county that company mustered up from. I have a box of letters (crumbling) dated from the 1860's when my ancestor was in school at Salem Academy in Winston Salem, NC (from her father, John R. Stanford to Mary Wallace Stanford) until the early 1900's. >From Wittsberg Ark Nov 3 1871 from Uncle J.F. PRICE to Wallace - Milton died, Uncle Reese is in the store, Aunt Lee and Aunt Jane. >From M.J. Price to niece Wallace - Sister Lee, poor little Juan, Aunt Lou's in Mar of 1864, Aunt Jane and the children, Sulpher Springs, Uncle John and his 2 boys and daughter Mallie. >From Uncle Dick to Wallace (letter on stationery from Circuit Court, Jefferson County, Pine Bluff, Ark) dated in the 1880's - Hall has epilepsy, Mitchell or Mitchum (?), Sallie has baby. >From Uncle Dick at Price Bluff, Ark Dec 1880 to Wallace - Mitchum has bought place in Little Rock, Uncle Jim and Neely. If anybody can help me to trace this family, especially the STANFORD line, by telling me where these places are in relation to one another, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks so much!
