Family Notes:
Bob Price’s father, Gibson Price (Abt. 1812-1877), served in Co. A 123rd USCI. Bob Price’s death record stated that “Gyp” (nickname for Gibson) Price was his father. According to St. Joseph Church baptismal records (Bardstown, Kentucky), a man named Gibson Price was the father of at least four other children, however, further research is needed to determine if the Gibson Price named in the baptismal records was the same Gibson Price who served in Co. A 123rd USCI.
Based on Census documents, Bob Price and Frances Wickliffe Price had only one child as of 1870–William Price, who was born in Nelson County around 1860. William Price was included in his parents’ household in the 1870 Census, but does not appear in subsequent Census years in Nelson County. It is possible that he moved to Louisville after the death of his father in 1875. There was a 18-year-old African American man named William Price who died in Louisville on January 28, 1876, but it is difficult to verify that he was the same William Price, the son of Bob Price.
William’s mother, Frances Price, appeared in the 1880 Census as “single,” and working a servant in a Bardstown white household. By 1900, Frances Price appeared in the Census for the last time, as a 66-year old widow with no occupation, living in a rented house in Bardstown. No death records were located for Frances Price, but it is reasonable to assume that she was deceased by the time the 1910 Census was enumerated.

Enslaver Information
Name: John Price Location: Nelson County, Kentucky
Previous Enslaver:
Enslaver Notes:
John Price’s name was not found in the 1850 Slave Schedule. It is possible that his enslaved persons were, at the time, included with those of his mother’s (Elizabeth O’Neal Price 1783-1865). She enslaved six persons in 1850, one of whom could be a match for Bob Price and another could be a possible match for his father, Gibson Price. In 1860, John Price was double counted: he appeared in his mother’s household in Nelson County, Kentucky; and as the head of his own household in Ralls County, Missouri. John Price married Mary E. Spalding (1821-1887) in Bardstown, Kentucky in 1847. He moved his family to Missouri in the early 1850s. According to the 1860 Slave Schedule, John Price enslaved three persons in Nelson County, one of whom matched the description of Bob Price. John Price’s name does not appear in the 1860 Slave Schedules for Ralls County, Missouri. John Price died on January 29, 1891, in Ralls County, Missouri.
