p. 1: "In a petition to the New Brunswick government dated 13 Mar 1815 (Kings
County No. 1037) his widow Jane, then Mrs. Henry Kitchen, stated that
Edmund "served His Majesty as an ensign in the old French War", which
could refer to the campaigns of 1744-48 or 1754-63."
p. 2: Edmund may have had a brother John who owned and commanded a vessel,
the "Williams" which sailed between NJ and NY ports and Halifax and
Saint John during and after the American Revolution.
p. 3: Edmund purchased 200 acres in Gagetown, NB. Deed dated 12 Jul 1769,
Saint John Registry Office, Book B1, pp. 15-16. William Spry of
Halifax, NS was the grantor and Edmund Price of Grimross (now called
Gagetown), the grantee.
p. 3: "Edmund Price of Gagetown, an early miner, sold 9 chaldrons of coal
in 1775 to Simonds, Hazen and White, the pioneer trading firm on the
St. John River."
p. 4: Edmund was among 125 people who gathered at Maugerville on 14 May
1776 and signed a resolution supporting the rebel cause. In the fall
of 1776 Edmund was part of a small rebel force which failed in its
efforts to capture Fort Cumberland, near Sackville. In May 1777 the
British offered to forgive the residents along the river and to
protect them from their enemies, and for them the revolt was over.
p. 6: Edmund's will was executed 11 Jun 1785 and recorded in probate 4 Jul
1786 (Hampton Reg. Office, Libra A1, p. 7) so he died sometime
between these dates.
http://www.onelibrary.com/Genealogy/price/pafn01.htmEdmund Price and his wife Jane Webb came to Gagetown, Queens County,
in 1767 from New Jersey with their 4-5 children (including George
Webb) and settled on 200 acres of land with 40 rods frontage along
the St. John River. Edmund and Jane were among the first English-
speaking settlers along the St. John River having been enticed there
to occupy lands vacated by the Acadians who had been deported in 1754
by Governor Lawrence. Sometime between 1779 and 1781, Edmund and
Jane moved from Gagetown to occupy a choice 400 acres of farmland on
the River between Evandale and Oak Point at the head of "The Mistake"
(deeded 28 February 1783). Edmund and Jane had a large family.
Their daughter Jerusha married loyalist Oswell Alward 23 June 1799.
She died 7 March 1846.The Royal Gazette mentions the settlement of Edmund Price's estate 5
October 1803, p. 3.
Edmund died late 1785 or early 1786.This individual was found on GenCircles at: http://www.gencircles.com/users/kingkin/1/data/7287

Subject: [NB] Edmund Price ancestry
Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2003 10:01:59 -0500I was excited to see William Price's discovery of promising leads on the
parentage of Edmund Price. Edmund, a baker of New York, and Jane Webb
were married in 1757 at Woodbridge, Middlesex County, New Jersey. The
family settled at Gagetown, Queens County, New Brunswick, in 1767.
Edmund and Jane had at least fifteen children born between about 1758
and 1782. A son was named Allen McDugall Price.As reported in Generations, the journal of the New Brunswick
Genealogical Society, spring 2003, page 21, William Price of Simcoe,
Ontario, found these items in New York City records:1736 Feb. 23: John Price married Mary Cross. (New York marriage records,
marriage book vol. 1, p. 5)1763 Apr. 7: Administration on the will of John Price was granted.
1765 Oct. 17: Mary Price married Allan McDougall. (New York marriage
book IX, p. 305)Allan McDougall and his family had come to America in 1738 from
Scotland. Apparently he was widowed and married John Price's widow Mary.
Mary's son Edmund named a son, Allen McDugall Price, born in about 1764,
after Edmund's stepfather.New Amsterdam/New York Reformed Dutch Church Baptisms,
<http://olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/church/rdc_bp1738.shtml>; shows this
record:Anno 1738, Jan 8; John Price, Maria Cros; Antje; Barent Bosch, Aafje
Bruyn, z.h.v.The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Jan. 2003, has an
article on a Price family in what is now Columbia County, New York. I
don't see a connection between that family and John Price who married
Mary Cross. But the article notes that the name of John Price of
Columbia County is spelled many ways, including Brace, Brase, Parys,
Preis, Preuss, Preys and Prys, so we should keep in mind such alternate
spellings when searching for John and Mary (Cross) Price.Rick Crume
