About John Michael Price, Sr

This message was received by myself, personally, from the co- founder of the Descendants of Heinrich Preisch Homepage and Facebook group, Robin R. Scott.

They have listed all of the "proven" children, of David and Agnes. These are people who have been researching these lines for decades and are the "officianados" on the subject, for U.S. research, of these lineages.

  • The following, are the names of all of David and Agnes' children. Period.

"Theresa, you are awesome, but i have to make a correction on that last line about Anna's siblings... there is no William... and there is no Johann Heinrich nor J Henry Price... :-( it's just Henricus..

Anna, J. Michael, Augustine, Daniel and Henricus. :-)"



J. Michael Price was born before his Baptism on 9 October 1718 at Offenbach, Rhine, Pfalz, Germany.[1] He arrived in Philidelphia on Sept 5 1738, on the ship Winter Galley[2], along with; Wall (Wahl), Harless (Horless), Langs (Longs), and was himself listed as "Pruse". These men were all German early New River Settlement Pioneers.[3] He settled in Virginia.[4]

. Michael Price, Sr. was a patriot - in 1783, during the Revolutionary War, his property and fort served as a training ground for the army.[5]

J. Michael left a will dated 1802. He had dispensed of all his land by deed to his sons. In his will he bequeathed a slave to David, one to Christian and one Henry. He left a spinning wheel to his wife Margaret and his "Big German Bible" to his GRANDSON Lewis, son of Michael II.

I give to my son-in-law Michael Price the husband of my daughter Margaret-one shilling sterling. Micheal is buried in the Wall Family Graveyard, Montgomery Co. Virginia with wife Margaret Killian Price.
