Col. William Price (wife, Mary Cunningham) settled in Fayette Co., KY before it became Jessamine County. His son, James C. Price (killed at River Raisin) was born in Halifax Co., VA in 1779. His daughter, Mary, married Col. Joseph Prewitt (Pruitt) of Jessamine County. Joseph was first married to Leah Moss, "possibly" of Halifax Co. VA. In Green and Adair counties KY there is a strong Moss/Price family presence as well. I am in contact with a descendant of a William Price who has a Graves and Moss family connection in Green and Adair counties. His family seems to have come from Halifax County VA too and also is an exact DNA match with descendants of the above Col. William Price and John Price referred to in the next paragraph. We have recently found from DNA, that a descendant of John Price (wife, Susannah Gano, daughter of Rev. John Gano) is an exact DNA match with a descendant of Col. William Price. John Price married Betsey Major in Woodford County KY in the early 1790's. He most likely resided in Fayette County before Woodford was formed and then he died in Franklin in 1836. Col. William Price's son, Winfrey Ebenezer, made a statement that his father was born in Prince Edward County VA, not Stafford County VA as has been widely accepted. Pugh Price's family ended up in KY early and I personally believe John and William are of his family. General Sterling Price is a descendant of Pugh Price so I would love to hear from anyone with connections to him also. I do have the book by Vina Chandler which gives good clues that help on this family, but I'm looking for more primary evidence. Before going to KY, William Price's family moved to Spotsylvania County, VA area. It appears to me they belonged to a Baptist church that bordered on Orange County, VA. Both John and William Prices families were strong Baptists, some starting for KY in 1781 with Lewis Craig's "Travelling Church". I would be very interested in hearing from anyone who descends from William or John Price or Joseph Prewitt or anyone who connects to these men through the Moss, Bryan or Graves families. The Bryan family lived in Northern Neck VA area before they went to North Carolina and then on to early KY. Please let me hear from you if you have any of these connections or interests. You are welcome to contact me personally if you would rather at: MYANCESTRY@peoplepc.com Thank you for your time.--Linda

Who are the Graves people involved? I descend from Maj Benj. Graves of the Lexington, KY area who was killed in the l8l3 'Battle of Rivers Raisin' during the War of 1812. He marred a Dudley, daughter of Capt Ambrose Dudley. The Moss name is familiar to me since my small Missouri hometown had a Horatio Algier story around its l880 founding in a T. J. Moss, who literally walked into town and left owning coal mines, a railroad, etc. If I recall, he came from TN.
