Notes for Joshua Comly PRICE

---

SETTLERS BY THE LONG GREY TRAIL by J. Houston Harrison 1984 p 501

Following his marriage, Joshua C. Price and wife resided for a short time in Smithburg, Maryland, where he was engaged in business with his brother, Amos. Upon the dissolution of the firm of Price Brothers, he removed with his family to Virginia, and resided on the land later bequeathed his wife by the terms of her father's will. The site of their home was on the eastern bank of Smith's Creek, in Rockingham, where Mr. Vernon Biedler now lives. About the time of the War-between-the-States, Mr Price returned to Maryland, and settled with his family in Ellendale, in Baltimore County, where he died. He and his wife both died the same year, she April 30, 1864.
Joshua Price was imbuded with a strong distaste for slavery, and prior to his residence in Virginia was a member of the Anti-Slavery Society. he "was a man whose very presence commanded respect and reverence," says a biographical sketch of his son, Isaiah B. Price; "plain and simple in manner, direct in speech and action, he inspired and held the confidence of even those who were opposed to his peculiar views. He had early instilled into his mind the principles of the 'Society of Friends,' and bore throughout life a strong testimony against bigotry, intemperence, and inequality of caste."
