   Ann DeJarnette
   (346; 299)
   Ann DeJarnette, known as Anna, was perhaps even younger than her sister Susanna, for she was usually mentioned after her sisters in her father, Joseph DeJarnette's deed of gifts. She married John Price, brother of her sister Mary's husband Richard Price. The 1737 marriage of the Price brothers' parents, John Price and Ann Younger, was recorded in the Middlesex County Christ Church Parish Register. The register also notes the births of John and Ann's first two sons: Thomas Price on March 13, 1738, and John Price on March 11, 1740. This researcher questions whether the John Price born in 1740 is the same John L. Price who died in Cumberland County seventy-seven years later, leaving a widow and six children. This hypothesis that a later-born son of John Price and Ann Younger may have been given the name John L. Price after the death of his brother John, born in 1740, seems reasonable. Supporting this is the 1771 will of John Price of Essex naming his son John last of four sons, but naming firstborn Thomas first. Anna would have been about twenty years younger than her husband had he been born in 1740.
   
   In Essex County the Prices were of the Parish of St. Ann, for which there are no surviving registers to make known either the birth dates for the children born after Thomas and John, or any death dates. in 1769 John Price of Essex purchased 416 acres in Cumberland County from Ambrose and Elizabeth Wright. John's will directed that this land be equally divided between his wife during her life or widowhood, and his son-in-law Stark Boulware. After his wife's decease, her interest was to go to their four sons, Thomas, Richard, William and John, but only John was still living at the settlement of the elder John Price's estate in 1792. Ann Younger Price had died sometime after giving her interest in her husband's estate to her son in 1778. At the time of the gift, she was in Halifax County, Virginia, where Younger relatives from Essex County were living.
   
   John L. and Anna DeJarnette Price remained in Cumberland on the property received from his parents. In 1787 the entire family suffered through a smallpox epidemic. John and their little daughter Susanna were "dangerously sick", Susanna succumbing several days after being hursed by her Aunt Susanna DeJarnette of Caroline. John L. died intestate in 1817. In 1820 Anna and her children, Elizabeth Williams, Mary DeJarnette, Sophia Price and John P. Price sold their shares of John L. Price's estate to Anna's sons William DeJarnette Price and Warner Williams Price. Anna lived for the next twenty-two years with her son William who wrote in an 1842 letter to Robert M. Burton of Tennessee, My mother Anna Price is living and confined to her bed the greater part of her time. Her deposition was taken two of three years past. Late in the year 1842, a Cumberland County court order directed an inventory ad appraisement be made of the estate of Anna Price, decreased.
   
   Except for Susanna who died young, the Cumberland estate records of John L. and Anna DeJarnette Price identify their children. Elizabeth Price married Warner Williams and resided in Buchingham County. Mary Pemberton Price (also known as Polly and Marie) married her cousin, James DeJarnette, and resided in Pittsylvania before moving to Rockingham County, North Carolina. Sophia W. Price and her husband, John Smith migrated to Wilson County, Tennessee. Warner W. Price and his wife Susan E. Walke lived in Cumberland until two years before he died, when he moved to Prince Edward. William DeJarnette Price married Mary A. Wright and continued to live in Cumberland. John P. Price and his wife Amelia Young had several children who went to Kentucky and urged others in the family to come west. Their letters reveal the hardships of those who sought a "better life" west of their origins and believed they had found it.
