"Frederick County, Virginia Marriage Bonds" by Hackett & Good p. 64 21 Aug 1806, John F. Price & Elizabeth Cowdery, widow & relict of Jonathan Cowdery, deceased. Bondsman John Fry, who signs in German. (no bond/marriage found for Elizabeth & Jonathan Cowdery in books) (it is spelled Cowdery - but you might look for phonetic equilivants - (Caudy, etc.) as that name is a bit unusual 7 the spelling is often phonetic in early records.) There are a few Cowdery names in Norfolk, VA, however that may be worth checking out. p. 271 17 Mar 1847 Samuel M. Mullin & Henrietta W. Price. Bondsman George E. Price. ("Frederick County Marriages" by Vogt & Kethley list them as Henrietta V. Price & Samuel W. Mullin, minister J P Smith) p. 274 21 Oct 1847 George E. Price & Mary Jane Beckham. Bondsman John Frame. The 1850 census lists a Samuel M. Mullin, age 35, merchant, and a Henrietta W. Mullin age 25 in the household of John Mullin, 70 in Moorefield, Hardy Co., VA. I suspect that Samuel & Henrietta are a married couple living with his father, rather than brother & sister in this census. They are in a hotel, and another family member of this household is Jno (probably John) Mullin, innkeeper. They may also simply be listed as hresidents of the hotel, not a family unit with the others?? Per "Some Old Homes" by Garland Quarles p. 61 Concerning the Clark Cather House "Location: On Merriman's Lane about a mile and half west of Winchester." House into posession of Henry Baker 1768. "In his will, proved May 29, 1807, Henry Baker devised the tract to his son Henry W. Baker. (W.W.B.1 - Page 64)" [Winchester Will Book # 1] "On April 9, 1838, Jacob Baker and the other heirs of Henry W. Baker conveyed a 240-acre tract, including the site of the house we are considering to John Price, the husband of Elizabeth Price, a daughter of Henry W. Baker (F.D.B. 71 - Page 386). On April 11, 1842, Charles W. Price and the other heirs of John Price conveyed the same tract to Elizabeth M. Price. (F.D.B.71, Page 62). Four years later, Elizabeth M. Price sold the property to Clark Cather. (F.D.B.75 - Page 126)." If this Elizabeth M. Price is the mother - it would not be unusual for her children to deed her her husbands property. Men often left their property in that time to their children, stipulating to care for their mother. If a woman inherited, and she remarried, her new husband would own the deceased husbands estate, and that mans children would/might receive nothing. "Some Worthy Lives" by Quarles, has a number of Bakers of the above family, but no details to a daughter marrying a Price. p. 12 & 13 refer to Henry Baker (1733-1808) married Maria E. FInk. Had a number of children, including Henry W. Baker (1760-1837) m. Catherine Miller Henry & Catherine had a number of children, including: Eliza M. Baker (1795-1870). This doesn't fit with a John Price marriage above of 1806 though (widow Cowdery)???? Virginia & Julia are names that repeat throughout the Baker family. "Shenandoah Valley Pioneers and their Descendants" by Cartmell p. 430-436 concern the Baker family, above, but nothing that identifies the Elizabeth Baker Price that inherited the property. The point that the heirs of John Price deed it to Elizabeth (April 1842) would fit your date of John Price dying about 1841. Your best bet would be to get the deed records & see who are the heirs mentioned in the land transfers to see if any are connected with your people. If they fit, you can look into the Baker wills, etc to see if there is mention of Elizabeth Price. The Handley Archives has quite a bit on the Baker family, and they may be able to help you if there is a connection, or possibly find a connection. http://www.hrl.lib.state.va.us/handley/about.asp?p=27 Good Luck!
