Census, and Early Families Eastern KY by William Kozee.

Price, Confederate Guerrilla soldier. He was imprisoned at Camp

Chase, OH on 10 Oct 1862. and died somewhere during war.26,27,28,

take action to have Robert designated an exchange prisoner or,

at least, return the body to KY. Daniel Price’s death and

of State whose daughter was Gen. T.T.’s mother. [and Daniel

Garrard’s wife.]”17
