Hi John, Was your Price family connected to the Neville family? I also know that some Price family were cousins to my Beck family in Ballground, Georgia through Rebecca Neville who married a Price.

Nancy, I can remember as a child hearing my Dad talk of the times when his uncle would take him to Ballgtround. At the time, I thought it was a sports facility. Only after I was grown I found that it was a town. My Grandmother Rebecca was a Carnes before marrying my Grandfather. The Carnes' have done a pretty good job of keeping track of their heritage; the Price's never took that much interest in genealogy. I am currently working in Florida, so not much chance of moving soon. I had entertained the idea of possibly moving to Georgia after I retire so I could be closer to my "roots" and learn more about my heritage. If I do, it will probably not be all the way to Cherokee County, but close enough for a comfortable drive. Grandchildren are also a powerful force and I have three of them within a few miles. I wouldn't want to move so far north that I couldn't get in the car one day and "go see the kids". Perhaps somewhere in between. Thanks, John John M.

The legend about Ballground does have a sort of sports connection. Supposedly the Creek or Cherokee Indians used that area to participate in an athletic event that resembled lacrosse. My g-gf (Fletcher Lowery, b 1849; died 1902) was born there and very possibly is buried in a cemetery in that area.
