Joseph Price & Mary Puffenbarger

My pedigree for Joseph Price is Richard Price => Walter Reams Price => Henry Garfield Price => Henry Reams Price => Joseph Price

Hello, my name is Rich Price. I have been working on my Family History since 1962. At first, it was mostly on my mother’s side. Then my Dad gave me a family book called “Genealogy of James McKinley 1792 - 1914, Richard Anderson Jeffries 1823 - 1914 and Joseph Price 1818 - 1904”. It was written by Charles Everett Jeffries in 1967. Mr Jeffries was born in 1881. It was in this book that I first found a list of Joseph William Price, Mary Puffenbarger and their thirteen children. Among these was Susan Elmira Price who married John D. Jeffries in 1880 and my great grandfather Henry Reams Price.
