For several years I have been involved in DNA research on the Price Line. From this their is a 40% chance that Joseph William Price may be the grandson of Joseph Price and Elizabeth Keener. Here is the information on this family:
Joseph Price - born about 1760; married about 1790, probably in Pennsylvania; died about 1820 in Green County, Pennsylvania.
Elizabeth Keener - born about 1765, probably in Pennsylvania. She is the daughter of John Keener and Hannah Doll.
Jacob Price - born 13 Aug 1792, probably in Pennsylvania, married 29 May 1817 in Green County, Pennsylvania to Hannah Bailey; died 26 Nov 1846 in Pipe Creek, Madison, Indiana.
William Price - born about 1795, probably in Pennsylvania.
Henry Price - born about 1795, probably in Pennsylvania.
These may be twins or the same person.
John Franklin Price - born 21 Feb 1798, probably in Greene County, Pennsylvania; married about 1818 to Margaret Hickman; died 12 Nov 1852, probably in Monroe County, Ohio.
William Price - born 3 Jun 1805 in Pennsylvania; married on 15 Mar 1839 in Johnson County, Indiana to Letita Slusher, died 13 Dec 1883 in Higginsville, Vermilion, Illinois.
Suzannah Price - born about 1807 probably, in Pennsylvania.
Malnda Price - born in 1809, probably in Pennsylvania.
Jacob Price and Hannah Bailey did have a son named Joseph who was born on 30 Jan 1817 in Lancaster County and died in 1821. Since this is the same time frame that Joseph William was born and they were still living in Pennsylvania, they are not lkely to be his parents.
John Franklin Price and Margaret Hickman also were living in Pennsylvania during the time period that Joseph William would have been born, but did immigrate to Ohio. They also have a son Daniel, who was born in Ohio.
William Price and Letitia Slusher were not married unitl 1839, so Joseph William is not likely to be their child. This marriage did take place when William was 34. There is a possibility that he could have been married earlier. William and Letitia settled in Indiana.

I am #8969 at the DNA project. I have been researching this price line for 20 years. Take a look at http://floop.com/fam00545.htm. I can find no record of a middle name for John Price b. 1798. Others do show a middle name of Franklin. John Price b. 1798 did have a son named John Franklin Price b. 1835. Perhaps this is the source of the confusion.
Your Joseph William Price b. 1820 could have been one of the 4 children we know were born to John Price and Margaret Hickman prior to 1830. The best clue is your Y-DNA results compared to mine. I know I have at least one very recent mutation that has occurred since 1800. I note that there are only 2 minor differences shown in 37 markers, 439 & 449, which are known to be fast mutating markers. I believe our Y-DNA group should be headed with Joseph Price b. ~1760 as the OKA.
