    1. [KYWAR] Benjamin Price's descendants
    2. My search of the census records show Benjamin F. Price, b. 1839, was married to Mary Anna Long, and they had seven children: Robert M., b. 1860, my grandfather, Thomas A., b. 26-Apr-1862, Margaret L., b. 1865, Cornelia A., b. 1867, Mary H., b. ??-Oct-1869, Lillie E., b. 1871 and R. F., b. 1874. All are believed to have been born in Russellville, Logan Co., KY, and although my father was brought to Texas as an infant, he frequently said that he and my grandfather lived in Bowling Green, Warren Co., KY. The Abilene [TX] Reporter-News report of Thomas' death in 1941 listed two sisters as survivors: Hybernia Price of Sweetwater, Nolan Co., TX, and Mrs. J. E. Boyce, of Abilene, Taylor Co., TX. The book of Nolan County, TX, marriages shows Hybernia Price marrying W. S. Rone on 30-Mar-1905, but no ages or place of birth are given. And the 1910 TX Soundex shows a Mary Hybernia as the wife of William S. Rone, of Nolan Co., TX. It had always seemed to me that Hybernia was probably Mary, who must have preferred to go by her middle name. The Soundex listing seems to prove that part of it, but the dates I have found don't add up and thus far it has been impossible to verify anything. Equally frustrating is the identify of Thomas' sister Mrs. J. E. Boyce. As a child in Abilene, I recall having a number of Boyce cousins, but the earliest Abilene City Directory I have been able to find, the 1944 edition, shows no J. E. Boyce, nor any mention of any Boyce with a first name of Margaret, Cornelia or Lillie. Does anybody have any information on Benjamin's children or know anything that could help me clear up some of these mysteries and inconsistencies? John
