Debra and all I apologize, I afraid I did jump the gun before I should. No, I had never heard of the Price Plantation until you wrote. But, after I wrote you I decided I would check and see what I could find about as I am always looking for unknown information to place on this web site. I don't usually do the work myself only taking submissions from descendants. I made an exception here as I did on the Ragland Murders, Here are your coordinates to the Old Washington Price Plantation: with a twp map to lead you to it. No cemetery is mention but there is an unknown cemetery in sec 21 several miles from sections 11, 12, 13, 14 which was where the Washington Price Plantation was located. There is no roads into the land today unless they are private drives. It is off CR 334 north of Yacona between Lizard ck and Little Kettle ck . Lizard ck seems to begin in his part of sec 14 and Monroe br. begins in his SW 1/4 of sec 14. Samuel E. Ragland's Patent was south of Yacona in Twp. 10, Range 2 ,sec. 16 pass the Delay community.
