James A. Price died August 20, 1855 in the "Cheate" River in Preston County at age 55 (means he was born in 1800). His parents were William and Sarah Price. He was born in "Louden" County, Virginia. His wife was Jemima Price.
Reference for above: Line 262 on pages 6 and 7 of Preston County WV (then VA) Deaths 1853-1859 transcribed from microfilm by Roy L. Lockhart. This record was found in the Kingwood public library bearing No. 41597.

(A) The parents of James A. Price is William Price and Sarah Poland (wife 1). Sarah died and William later married Mary Butler Lewis in Monongalia County in 1807. James' wife was Jemima England. James' immediately older brother was William Price who married Anna (Wright/Right) Poling in 1819 in Randolph County, then in Virginia. Later this part of Randolph County became Barbour County WV. Brother William was born circa 1799, possibly in Loudoun County VA, but possibly from Maryland.
(B) The above suggests Richard Price (born ca. 1757 in Alexandria VA close to Loudoun) and Nancy Dallas could have been William Price's (who married Sarah Poland and Mary Butler Lewis) parents. This parents would be instead of Charles Price and Betsy Fowlkes or Ann Haskins in Prince Edward County. The input from anyone out there who can confidently list the parents of William Price (who married Sarah Poland and Mary Butler Lewis) would be appreciated.
(C) The above provides rationale to why WIlliam Price (who married Anna Wright Poling) first listed his "from" place as Virginia in the federal cenus, later listed Maryland, because his parents lived a while in Westerport MD. His father owned and operated a hotel in Westernport. Later he moved to Kingwood and owned the Hearndon Hotel. But if William (of Barbour) was older than James A., why wouldn't he too have been born in Loudoun County or another Virginia location instead of Maryland?
Details you have would be appreciated.
