Well, I'm excited about all the info. you've given me. Yes, many of the
names are familiar - I need to get into my file and let you know what I
have. It's packed in my car, as we are heading for Missouri and Iowa for
5 days (tomorrow A.M.) to do some research. I'll contact you as soon as
we return - I'm anxious to visit more. I have some obituaries for Jacob
and Delila's children; pictures of their headstones and the cemeteries
they are buried in. Daniel Sylvanus, one of their sons, went to Gage
Co., Nebraska and is buried there. I am in Martinsville, Indiana, just
north of Owen County and Clay County - however, I am an Iowa native.
I've lived in Colorado, California, Iowa and now Indiana. Thanks for the
leads; I'll look forward to hearing from you.

Hi again, Steffani,
It is so good to hear from you. I've been working on my Price family for a long time
now and it's great to make a contact with someone else!!!!
Just to make sure we've got the same Jacob and Delila....I just recently found out
that my g-g-g grandfather, Daniel (1815-1897), had a brother named Jacob, another brother
named Enoch and a sister Betty (Elizabeth). They all lived in the Vigo, Clay, Owens
County areas of Indiana in the mid to late 1800's. Daniel and his wife Catharine
(1815-1908) were married in Lancaster County, PA in the 1830's, but moved to Bowling
Green, IN shortly thereafter. They are both buried in Terre Haute at the Highland Lawn
Cemetery.
There is a descendant of Jacob who lives in the Terre Haute area named Alyson Price
(I'll have to look up her married name) and is married to a Jim. Just in the past few
days, Jim sent me a picture of Jacob and his family outside their family home in Jordan,
IN (Owens County). I have no idea how all these people relate to each other, but here are
the names:
Jacob (no picture of Delila.....Jim says that he has never seen a picture of her).
Anetta Bell Price
Amanda Long Price (possible wife of Marshall Andrew Price)
Verna Dell Price
Marshall Andrew Price
Henry Price (a younger boy standing with Marshall - could this be your ancestor?)
Melissa Alice Price
Jacob Albert Price and
William Sanford Price
Are any of these names familiar to you? I have sent an email to try and reach Alyson or
Jim for some more information which may confirm that we're the same
family.......surely so, the names are too similar and in the same county.
I have been trying (very unsucessfully) to find Daniel and Jacob's parents names and
information about them. The children (Daniel and siblings) were all born in either
Lancaster or Berks County, PA area.
Does anything correspond to your stuff? Hope so. I'll look forward to hearing
from you. Oh, and by the way, my name is Jimmy Cochran and I'm in Atlanta, GA.

Hi James: So nice to hear from you! Jacob Price b.l0-l2-l8l7 and
d.6-6-l896 and Delila(Strong)Price b.9-27-l828 and d.l0-3-l883 were the
parents of my great grandfather, Henry Francis Price who is buried in
Van Wert, Decatur County, Iowa. He was number 3 of their 6 children.
I would really like to correspond with you and whoever else might have
any information on my ancestors.
Thank you and have a wonderful Christmas! Nancee at iggy29(a)scican.net
