Kentucky: A History of the State, Battle, Perrin, & Kniffin, 5th ed., 1887, Jessamine Co. COL. WILLIAM PRICE was born in Stafford County, Va., in 1755, and settled in the limits of Jessamine County in 1787. After the surrender of Lord Cornwallis in October, 1781, he removed from Stafford County to Halifax County, Va. In 1782 he visited Kentucky, and the year following he made a second visit to Kentucky, and entered land on warrants received for services as a soldier in the Revolutionary war. He at one time was the owner of 3,000 acres. After establishing and having his lands surveyed and cabins built on them he returned to Virginia, and in 1787 settled in the limits of Jessamine County, where he died in 1808. Col. Price married Mary Cunningham. His eldest son, Capt. James C. Price, was born in Halifax County, Va., in 1779. The son, like his father, was warmly attached to the interests of his country. When the war of 1812 was declared he raised a company of infantry, repaired to the seat of war on the Canada frontier, and was killed and scalped by the Indians at the bloody battle of Raisin January 18, 1813. Jessamine County was in deep mourning for the cold-blooded butchery of twenty of her best citizens. Capt. Price married Susanah Barkley in 1804.
