Notes for EDMOND PRICE:
Land record dated 10 August 1819 Shenandoah County Deeds is a sale of Edmond's share of land left by Father John Price. At this date Edmund was a resident of Kanawah County, State of Virginia (now West Virginia). This may be the same Edmund Price, resident of Kanawah County, 1850 census. The 1850 census has Edmond Price, 77; Elizabeth, 54; Caroline, Emmeline, James, and Harriet. Information for this Edmund Price on GenForum indicates he married Betsy Young in 1813 and had 11 children: Sarah, Archibald, Elizabeth, Edmond, Margaret, Catherine, Burdette, Emeline, James, and Harriet. The 1850 census indicates that he was born about 1772 so this could be Edmund/Edmond from Shenandoah County with a second wife. An Edmund/Edmond Price appears in Kanawah Census Records 1800 through 1850.
