aka Henry A. Price... most likely became a "100-day man" in the Civil War... see: Letter of Jesse Weber Bean (CSA) to his brother Sgt. Edwin Adams Bean (February 7, 1895). Two documents attached to this profile provide an explanation of this assertion. (Still searching for documentation on which regiment(s) of PA hundred day men were at the Battle of Cool Spring on the Shenandoah in July 1864 where Henry encountered Jesse Bean. (see letter)

Look for "D. Price" along the Sumneytown turnpike in the 1853 map of Lower Salford . This turnpike runs from left to right across the top of the map. An "A. Price " property is nearby.
The Prices had been a significant Mennonite family that had first come to Germantown and then gone out into the country side along the old Matatawney trail.
( "The old Manatawney Trail was adapted into a road which was converted into Sumneytown Pike in 1847. Sumneytown Pike became the main artery that linked the Indian Valley with Philadelphia. During the colonial period the many inns and taverns served as administrative posts for the Sumneytown Pike corridor." )
In 1875, the Township had three hotels, four general stores, three jewelers, three feed stores, one hardware store, one shoe store, one confectioner and one sewing machine dealer. By 1860, 1,828 people resided in Lower Salford Township
Henry and his wife lived with his father David as late as 1860 and, perhaps with his widowed mother in 1870. See census data.
