Daniel PRICE17,20 was born about 1725.16 He died between 1774 and 1782 at the age of 49.16

From the Price Book: Daniel is said to have married Mary Cocke but no proof has been established. The Price and Cocke families were often associated in Henrico Co. Mary, "wife of Daniel Price", relinquished her dower rights when Daniel Price and James Cocke sold 200 acres to Edward Curd on 1 Nov 1762. Daniel received land on Chickahominy Swamp in his father's will.

The actual Deed Abstract of the above is somewhat different and says the Mary who relinquished was the wife of John Cocke, not Daniel Price. No wife for Daniel Price was listed in the deed.

The last record of Daniel Price seems to be when he witnessed a deed from Charles Lewis to Edward Curd in Apr 1774, Henrico Co. In 1783, his sons Joseph, John, and Robert Price had his will [destroyed by the British] re-recorded. One bequest was 900 acres on Chickahominy Swamp to be divided by sons Joseph and John. This land began at the head of Cabin Island Run, to the mouth of Spring Branch to land that Daniel Price purchased of Thomas and James Cocke. There was another son, Charles Price, who received 400 acres as a deed of gift from his father on 2 May 1771.
