My mother even said she could show me where, but last time I was home, there was too much stuff going on to go and look to see where she was talking about. Since Margaret lived at LensCreek with Hiram Morris, I wonder if Benjamin and Salinda did as well. These Morris' and Prices do seem to have been 'close' I still wonder if that 1850 census that says Ben came from SC was an error. The quote you have from 'History of Charleston and Kanawha Co' makes it sound like they came together and the others weren't from SC. but then another book says there were a lot of SC Prices that came there, boy it just goes on and on, but I keep hoping that every new theory will take us somewhere and we will finally find a home for Ben. Then we still have to find Salinda..... Does anyone have anything new on her, as to whether her last name was really Brokins? Gracie Hi Emma, Eliza Price married to Thomas Snodgrass is my line. Like you I have been stumped on Benjamin born 1795 SC. However, some believe his father to be Edmund Price married to Elizabeth Morris. There were Prices that lived in the Len's Creek (named after Leonard Morris) area of Kanawha County at that time. I do not have any documentation for this. I have Thomas Snodgrass' father as Henry Snodgrass. There follows a quote from "History of Charleston and Kanawha County- - - - - -", by Laidley, "Leonard Morris whose settlement in the valley is elsewhere noticed in this work, built the first cabin in the district. Other settlers, nearly all of whom came before the beginning century, were ----- - - - - -Evan Price, Henry Snodgrass, Benjamin Price - - - - - - - - - ". There were many Prices living in that community (now known as Marmet). Leonard Morris was married first to Margaret Price. I cannot locate my references or notes now (but, there was NO firm documentation) which state that Joshua Morris (brother to Leonard) had a daughter Elizabeth Morris who married Edmund Price (I do have this reference from Morris genealogies). Supposedly Benjamin was their son---? I know what the 1850 census says about SC. So, thats a big question. I also have from the History of Greenbriar County that the Price family from that area of WV and Virginia descended from one Samuel Price who emmigrated from Wales about 1735 and settled in South Carolina. Over the years I have communicated with many who are struggling with this line. You so have a very interesting theory with the similarity of names! Good luck! Ray Honaker, Colorado
