William A. Price was born abt. 1796 in North Carolina.  He married Susannah 
Reece born abt 1813 in South Carolina on 02 May 1826 in Blount County.  He 
joined Milton's Arty' Company - Smith's Regiment Al Mounted Vols. during the 
Creek War from 28 May 1836 - 27 July 1836.  They lived in Blount County, 
Alabama until about 1842 moved to the Clay/Pinson area in Jefferson County 
where they both lived until their deaths.  He was literate and sent his 
children to school according to his 1860 census record.  They had twelve 
children of which eight (I believe) were born in Blount County, and the last 
four in Jefferson County.  Their children were:

William A Price had at least 4 sons who fought in the Civil War, Jeremiah 
Jesse, Elijah Oliver, Bazzel R., and George Washington Price.  His son Edward 
J. enlisted in Co C 20th Alabama Infantry but was discharged a few months 
later due to a hearing problem.  His eldest son, Jeremiah Jesse was killed in 
the war sometime in 1864.  He purchased some of Jesse's land the 4th day of 
February 1967 which was being sold on the courthouse steps by the estate 
adminstrator to pay Jesse's debts.  He died shortly after this as he does not 
appear on the 1870 census records.
