Hi Jimmy: I've been in Missouri this past week, researching my
McMurtreys. I'm sorry I've taken so long to respond to your last post.
The picture sent to you by Jim and Alyson(Price)? is of Marshall Price's
family: Marshall Andrew Price b.8-l2-l855 and d. 2-20-l920, buried
Olive Hill Cemetery, Owen Co., IN.
Amanda Melvina Long (his wife) b.5-27-l858 and d.8-l8-l9l8,
buried Olive Hill Cemetery, Owen Co., IN. (daughter of Henry Long and
Sarah Ann Hoffa)
Their Children: Melissa Alice b.l-6-l879 and d.3-l8-l963
William Sanford b.4-l5-l88l and d.5-8-l956
Jacob Albert b.8-4-l884 and d.2-2l-l975
Anetta Bell b.l-l8-l887 and d.8-27-l96l
Henry Edgar b.6-l0-l889 and d.l2-l4-l97l
Verna Dell b.2-20-l895 and d.8-30-l980
From Owen County, IN History Book: "Jacob Price (l8l7-l886) came
to
Indiana from Pennsylvania. Here he met and married Delila Strong
(l828-l883) in l844. They homesteaded a farm in Section 23 Morgan
Township, Owen County, building a strong home which is still standing
today and had six children. In his later years he was known to many as
"Grosspop".
I have a picture of the Price house built about l850; it stayed in the
Price family until l906. I live fairly close to Spencer, IN. and Jordan
Village is not far from there and I've been by the house and to the Mt.
Zion Cemetery where they are buried. I haven't found any Price
descendents to talk with, yet, but as I have time, I will...

My info. shows Jacob Price born in Harrisburg, Dauphin Co., PA. I don't
know about his parents or siblings. I'd like to know all the info you
have about them.
Thanks for the info. on your Daniel Price and his children. The Jacob
Price reunion sounds very interesting - could you let me know when it is
in September?
I'd say we're definitely related - wouldn't you?! (grin)
