Mary died around 1622, possibly in massacre at Jamestown. John married Anne Matthews (likely around 21 years old) around 1623; they are recorded as having a 3 month old child named Mary by 1624.[7] (It is possible that Mary was the daughter of his first wife). After John died, Anne married Robert Hallom, then Daniel Llewellyn.

Notes

From Page 22 of “John Price the emigrant, Jamestown colony 1620, with some of his descendants” by Benjamin Luther Price

It is easy to find the record of an emigrant, if he was of noble lineage and belonged to the important gentry of Britain, so you will find the names of John Price, his first wife Mary, with their sons, William and Matthewes; then Ann the second wife of John Price and their daughter Mary. I refer to a few authorities as to their arrival at Jamestown:

• John and Mary Price, Emigrants, came to Henrico County, 1620, with one son named William. This son William Price was living at College Land, near Jamestown, in 1623 and there raised a fam- ily." — (Burke's History of Virginia.)
• "Muster of the inhabitants of the Corporation of Charles Citee, Feb. 24, 1624. Muster of John Price: John aged 40, ship Starr in May, 1620. Ann his wife aged 21, ship Francis Bonaventure in August, 1620. Mary, a child, 3 months. '— (Hottens Original List, p. 203.)
• The Muster of John Price appears in the census of 1624. He lived at the Neck of Land in Charles City County, was aged 40, and came in the Ann in Ma}^, 162 — . Ann his wife aged 21, came in the Francis Bonaventure in April 1620. Their daughter Mary was aged 3 months. Two years later, in 1626 this same man John Price, owned 100 acres of land at or near the falls of James river." — (Virginia Historical Magazine, edited by William G. Stanard, No. 15, page 363.)
• "In the Muster of the inhabitants of Virginia, January 23, 1624, is that of John Price, aged 40 years, who came in the Starr in May, 1620, Ann, his wife, aged 21, who came in the Francis Bonaventure, August, 1620. Mary, a child aged 3 months.

From these authorities it appears that the following conclusions can be drawn and beyond controversy :

• 1 — It seems certain that the John Price of Henrico County mentioned in Burke's history, was the same who lived on the "Neck of Land" in Charles City County, which was near to Jamestown.
• 2 — That John Price, with Mary, his first wife and William, their son, came over in 1620. It is presumed that John Price's home was destroyed with many others at the time of the James- town Massacre, May 1622. It seems that Mary was slain at this time or she did not live long after coming to America. William, the son, is found in 1623, at College Land, near Jamestown, and there raised a family.
• 3 — Ann Mathewes, a young girl of about seventeen win- ters, came over in the ship Francis Bonaventure in August, 1620. (There seems to be some reason for doubting that she was the daughter of Capt. Samuel Mathewes since the authorities agree that she arrived on the Bonaventure during 1620, While Hotten 's List gives the date of Capt. Samuel Mathewes as 1622.) John could not resist her gracious manner, her sterling qualities and womanly character, so soon found himself pledging his heart and hand, which were accepted by the young girl of tender years, and in 1624 in the Muster of Charles City we find John Price, aged 40, and Ann, his wife, aged 21, with Mary, their daughter, aged 3 months.
