Meredith/Maraday Price m. Mary (Polly) McDaniel b. 1772 d. 21 Oct 1857. They married 27 Dec 1791 in Pittsylvania Co., VA (Index shows 1795, but actual bond is 1791). She was the daughter of William McDaniel and Anne (Smith, we think). Her brother Joel McDaniel married Meredith’s sister Martha (Patsy) Price.

In the 1850 Census Mary is living with her daughter Susan Burton Price (m. Harrison) and is shown to be age 78, born in VA. Mary was born in Halifax Co., VA; Meredith was born in Pittsylvania Co., VA. They were living in Caswell Co., NC, by Apr 1798.

A deed in Pittsylvania Deed Book 10, p. 175, dated 09 Mar 1795, refers to Meredith Price and Polly his wife. It refers to part of Mrs. Ann McDaniel’s survey and is signed by Marday Price and Polly Price.

Property of Meredith Price, dec’d, was sold on 07 Feb 1817 as recorded in Caswell Co. Will Book H, April Court 1817, p. 35. The inventory of property is listed in the same book, p. 37. The division of Meredith’s lands is in Deed Book S, p. 173-175 (dated 21 Mar 1817). It names Pinkney Price, Polly Price, Washington Price, David Price, Major Price, Meredith Price, Susannah Price, Joel Price, Addison Price, Nancy Price, John Price, and states that William W. Price relinquishes all claim to said lands. Meredith’s estate settlement is on record in Caswell Co., NC, Deed Book S, p. 246 (supposedly provides full names of James Addison and George Washington Price). The division of negroes belonging to the estate of Meredith Price was recorded in January Court 1818 (Will Book H, p. 120). Legatees were: Joel Price, Mrs. Price, Susannah, John, Polly, Daniel, Meredith, Nancy, Addison, Pinckney, Major, William W., and Washington Price (by Elijah Withers, Dudley Gatewood, Benj. C. West, and William Pennick). Mary’s will is recorded in Caswell Co., NC, Will Book R, p. 592 (written 03 Dec 1849; proven Jan 1858); it names children Joel M, Price (deceased), son Meredith Price (deceased), Major A., John S., Daniel S., George W., James A., Susan B. Harrison, Ann S. Nunly, and Mary M. McDaniel (and husband John). Witnesses were Josiah Blair, Ann M. Blair, Wm. W. Price, and Geo. W. Price.

They are buried in Caswell Co., NC, at the Janie Mahan farm on Shady Grove Road near Gatewood and Rt. 86 between Yanceyville, NC, and Danville, VA. A survey of the family cemetery was recorded by J. Burch Blaylock on 28 Dec 1957 and is indexed by the Caswell County Cemetery Census (found at this web address in 2008 http://cemeterycensus.com/nc/casw/cem196.htm ). The survey reports that his gravestone has Meredith’s death in May 1816.
