The Price Family
Descendants of Jesse Price
Generation No. 1
1. JESSE1 PRICE was born 1792 in New Jersey. He married
(1) MARY HARLEY in Magnolia, PA?. He married (2) JANE.
He married (3) HANNAH NEWMAN July 01, 1832.
Notes for JESSE PRICE:
Early on, (late 1600's early 1700's ) a group came from the Swiss,
Germany,etc. area. They were affilliated with the Church of the
Brethren. They settled in the SE area of Pennsylvania. Among them
were LOTS of Price and Harley surnames. After the first settlement
was a success, they began to spread out and establish other meeting
places. One of those meetings was supposedly in NJ. After awhile,
the memberships began to break off.
Some stayed Brethren and others formed new sects. One of those
splinter groups became the Mennonites.
I have been working on the belief that Jesse may have migrated west
to join or establish one of these groups. There were several
Brethren and Mennonite communities emerging in Indiana at about the
time he moved there. Many of the surnames found in communities in
the east show up again in the area near where Jesse moved. May be
just a coincidence????

9. CLARA MAY3 PIERCE (ELIZABETH MAY2 PRICE, JESSE1) was born
March 11, 1871, and died May 27, 1940. She married UNKNOWN TAYLOR.
Notes for CLARA MAY PIERCE:
CLARA MAY PIERCE TAYLOR - married unknown Taylor. Josiah's
first marriage
to Elizabeth Price Pierce produced a Clara May Pierce. I am
convinced now
that this is Clara M. Taylor . ( Clara in her letters communicated
that
she had a sister, Flora. Josiah's first marriage also produced a
Flora
Belle Pierce. Armed with that and the fact that Clara Taylor had
a middle
initial M. convinced me that it was more than a coincidence - they
had to
be the same people.) In 1933 she was living in Breedsville, Michigan.
CHILDREN:
HARRY M. TAYLOR - resided in Breedsville, Mi in Martha's
address book.
WESLEY TAYLOR
HAROLD H. TAYLOR - married.
JOSIAH(JOE) TAYLOR - married Anna and had boy children
JOHN IVAN TAYLOR - played basketball. Had an electric repair
shop in
Bloomingdale, resided in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
JAMES H. TAYLOR - Wife Stashua Unknown Taylor. Had children
Peggy Ann,
Evalyn, and Donald
CLARENCE TAYLOR - married and had children.
DELLA M. TAYLOR(GODFREY) - Mrs. Stuart Godfrey
MINNIE TAYLOR(ROBBINS) - married Lynn Robbins and lived in Gary,
Indiana.
They farmed(Apples,etc.). They had children Kenneth who married
and had
children; Bill who married Rosemary and had 5 children - Twins,
Jimmy,
Johnnie, and Deci. Bill was a doctor who died prematurely.
Another son
John Robbins.
Clara's grandchildren:
Stuart Godfrey, John Robbins, William Robbins, Kenneth Robbins,
Robert
Taylor, Clarence Taylor, and Peggy Ann Taylor, Evalyn Taylor,
and Donald
Taylor
