Rev. Henry Price fathered perhaps 30 children with two (or three) wives. Henry and his first wife Susan Stults (perhaps daughter of Lewis Stults of Greene County Tennessee (see below) produced at least 24 children between 1807 and 1840. This is based on the 18 children shown on the 1820 Franklin County Tennessee Census. Children of Henry Price and Susan on a list from Prier Lee Price III, Tulsa OK, April 1994 contains only 15. Susan Stults's parentage is likely Lewis Stults and Barbary Wilfong -- see below.
Prier Price III provided a list of children of Henry Price and Susan Stults that states that there were "14 or fifteen children of which I am told six died young" This came from a "P. Price family chart" allegedly based on Henry's bible:
In Tennessee Petitions 1822-1823 is: Henry Price McMinn 1823 Petition 115 Petition of Henry Price asking for a divorce from his wife, Rynay Price. Named in petition: William Gossage. Statements by: Henry Bullard, Joseph Bullard, Timothy Philpot & Patsay Ganbery. and Price, Rynay 1823 Petition 115 Petition of Henry Price asking for a divorce from his wife, Rynay Price. Named in petition: William Gossage. Statements by: Henry Bullard, Joseph Bullard, Timothy Philpot & Patsay Ganbery. IS this a wife between Susan Stultz and ELizabeth Wooten? Then, with second (or thrid) wife Elizabeth Wooten there are 6 kids acknowledged by Prier Price.
* from the list of Mrs. Milfred W Davis of Barry MO. She says 15 kids by Susan Stultz, 6 died young. Children with first wife Susan Stults:
Henry Price's married his second wife Elizabeth Wooten Gillette (1812- ) in 1846. She had four children from a previous marriage to James Gillett. All the children appear on the 1850 and 1860 census with Henry and Elizabeth:
Second wife Elizabeth Wooten and Henry Price, had:
Notes: I have only been able to document names for 18 children with Susan Stultz (from Prier Price's list) and five with Elizabeth Wooten. But -- there are:
A total of 30 unique children appear on five censuses. It seems unlikely that Susan Stults had 24 of them (see the census data below and the example of Jacob Henegar). Elizabeth Wooten (1818- ), Rev. Henry Price's second wife, was the daughter of Turner Wooten (1757 Buckingham County VA - 1833) who married in 1792 in Chesterfield County VA Nancy Roper (b. 1775 Chesterfield County VA -- 1851 Bradley TN). Turner Wooten enlisted in 1781 in Capt. Tabb's Company, Dabney's Virginia regiment and was at the seige of Yorktown (Revolutionary pension application R-1160). Moved in 1832 to Dandridge, Jefferson County Tennessee. Widow Elizabeth Roper Wooten and her children moved to Bradley County Tennessee in 1837. See Turner Wooten'spension application here. From Genealogical Records of Buckingham County VA by Edythe Johns Rucker Whitley, 1984, page 70, Turner and Nancy Roper Wooten had the following children:

Charles Price (1757 Ireland -- after 1860) and Nancy Black Data
Nancy Black is variously identified as being Charles Price's wife. This Nancy Black is also often identified as the daughter of Samuel Black and Rebecca Jane Porter as stated above. She is shown in her father's will:
Page 280.--2th September, 1782. Will of Samuel Black, aged about 55--To son, John, 300 acres on Niw River where John now lives; to son, William 300 acres, rest of above tract; to sons, Samuel and James, infants, home place known by name of Pine Knot; to daughters, Margaret, Mary, Martha, Nancy, Jean; to wife. Executors, wife, brother Wm. Black, Wm. Porter. Teste: Walter Davis, Thos. Stuart, Mathew Alexander.
Proved, 15th April, 1783. by Stuart and Davis. Executors qualify. Augusta County, VA - Will Book 6, Abstracts, from "Chalkley's Chronicles of the Scotch-Irish in Virginia", see this.
However, when Samuel's wife Rebecaa Porter dies in 1814, her will says:
Augusta Co Will Book No. XI.
This Nancy is married to a "Gillespee" in 1814. Note that her sister is married to a Samuel Price.
Augusta County, Virginia - Chalkey's Chronicles; Vol 3, PP 220 - 229
These three document's imply that this Nancy Black is not likely the wife of Charles price.
Alternatively, this Black website says:
SAMUEL BLACK b 1727 Londonderry Ireland d 28 Dec 1782 Albemarle Co VA s/o John Black m JANE PORTER d 1814.
Samuel was a Second Lieutenant in Capt. McCleary's Company in the Revolutionary War. Both he and his father John served in the militia, repelling the attacks of Indians.
This version of the Black's genealogy shows both husbands:
4 Nancy Sally Black b: ABT 1769
The document posted on Ancestry.com (shown below) has several interesting statements. The assumption is that a Charles Price was a British soldier serving in the colonies, was captured, released and remained in the states. It does NOT prove that this is the same Charles Price father of Rev. Henry Price. The statement that this Charles Price was captured at the battle of Eutaw Springs in late 1781 is at odds with the Clifford Neal Smith data shown in the footnote above. The exact entry for Charles Price from Smith is in the section of the 3rd Regiment of Foot (East Kent or Buffs):
PRICE, Charles, prisoner of war, 17 Mar 1780 (A:03;D:20)
In Smith's (British And German Deserters, Dischargees, And Prisoners Of War Who May Have Remained In Canada And The United States, 1774-1783. Part One And Part Two: [and] Deserters And Disbanded Soldiers From British, German, And Loyalist Military Units In The ... ) discussion of the 3rd Regiment of Foot, he notes that the regiment departed for America in March 1781 and arrived June 3 1781 in Charleston SC. This is fifteen months after Charles Price was captured. On June 7 1781, the 3rd advanced to the beseiged fort at Ninety-Six, a village in northwest South Carolina. They arrived in June 21 and helped disperse the colonials. By September 8, the 3rd was at Eutaw Springs with the Sixty-Third and Sixty-Fourth Regiments of Foot and was attackled by a superior American force. The British retreated first and then returned to route the America. Both sides claimed victory. This was the last substantive action by the 3rd Regiment in the colonies. By October Cornwallis and the majority of the British forces surrendered at Yorktown VA. After cesstation of hostilities, the 3rd Regiment left South Carolina in 1782 and sailed to Jamaica where the regiment remained until 1790. Smith then notes:
"There appear to be no extant muster rolls dating from the 1781-82 period when the 3rd regiment was in the American colonies; a diligent check for them was made in the War Office 12, volume 2105 which is apparently complete until near the time of the regiment's departure from Ireland in 1781. All musters in subsequent volumes 2106 are from 1783 probably all taken in Jamaica, but seemingly reflecting actions taken in South Carolina before the regiment's departure for Jamaica in 1782. Note, however, that some prisoners of war in America, listed hereinafter, were captured before the Third Regiment reached the new world. It is thought that they pertain to men who had originally been in other British regiments and reassigned to the third regiment only after their release from American captivity following the peace settlement in 1783."
The "A:03" note means page 3 of a muster roll dated 24 Jul 1783 in Jamaica
In conclusion:
So one of three option exist:
There is another viewpoint of Charles Price service provided several years ago by "Sloane":

Hi Gladys:
Hi:
I can find no references to "Sloan" or their data after 1997. The 64 Regiment of Foot does exist as
a fighting unit at Eutaw Springs in 1781 having been in the colonies from 1775 forward. I have no idea how
this data was obtained or how it might relate to Charles Price.
Sue Ikerd has provided some valuble data:
From: "Sue Ikerd"
According to family tradition my Price ancestor came from County
Kildare Ireland c. 1780.
Sue Ikerd
Sue also provided the following:
Price Family
Charles Price first md. Nancy Black
He was born in Ireland and came to America around the year 1775, at the age of 16. There were three boys born to this union, Henry Price, James Price and Charles Price II. Charles lived at last account in Webster Co. Missouri near Marshfield and died there and had raised a large family. James we can give no account of. Henry Price married (first marriage) to Susan Stutz and lived in Tennessee near Cleveland. To this union were born 15 children, names as follows that raised children, Wesley, Charles III, Elias, George Linzie, McNabb (Dr.), Christopher, Minerva, Barbara and Uraney. Six died while young.
Henry Price (second marriage) married Mrs. Elizabeth Gillette, maiden name Wooten. To this union were born children as follows: James, Mandy, Nep, Joseph, McClelland and Pryer."
Sue Ikerd also provided this:
Several generations of my Price Family have been interested in the family history and I am indebted to them. I have this paper that was given to me by a Price researcher. It states:
Charles Price, accompanied by two brothers, (John and Henry) came from Ireland as hired soldier of the British to fight the Americans in the Revolutionary War. He was taken prisoner at the Battle of Utah Springs. He hired out collect for his board until the end of the war. After the war he was freed during an exhange of prisoners. Charles settled in Virginia and never returned to Ireland as he thought he could do better here than in the old country. Ireland was so thickly populated. Charles married and is known to have two sons--Charles, Jr. and Henry. Charles Sr. was dwelling in Tennessee at the time of his death at nearly 100 yrs of age.
Lindsey Price ( ? - 1814 Warren OH) -- Charles Price's brother?
1 male under 16; 1 male over 16 and 2 females.
This corresponds to the children list below.
Only a Gideon Price appears in Chatham NC Census in 1810
No Price appears in 1820 Chatham NC Census
Four possible decendants (sons) of Charles Price
Charles Price married Catherine Zeigler (1809 Franklin VA - 1879 Webster MO). She was the daughter of William Ziegler (1782-1846) and Rebecca Stewart (1782 VA -1837 Meigs TN) m in 1804 in Franklin TN. She was grandaughter of Johann Phillippe Ziegler of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany b 1706-1821 Franklin VA). The Rev. Henry Price, brother Charles Price and William Ziegler -- father of Charles' future wife all appear on the same census page in 1830 in McMinn County.

Other says he married m 1824 Elizabeth Brewer? (1805 NC - )
Still others say he married Elizabeth Lindsay -- like this from David Galloway:
Children:
"Robert Yarbrough d TX m Mary Jane Price (daughter of William "Buck" Price).
She m/2 TX Charles Stone. In 1862 she and her children Robert Yarbrough,
Catherine Yarbrough, and unborn child [Yarbrough? or Stone?] returned to AR.
They were in Tomahawk Township, Searcy Co. AR in 1880." Pretty sure this
came from "History of Searcy Co" (see this)
and this:
"Robert Lee Yarbrough was born 1-18-1847 to Robert and Mary Jane Price
Yarbrough. Prior to 1850 his family moved to Texas; his father died soon
after arriving there. Mary Jane m. Charles Stone in 1850. In 1852 Mary Jane,
her children Robert and Catherine and expecting her third child came back to
Arkansas; on the journey one of her horses gave out. A good Samaritan traded
horses with her and came a day's journey with them to show her the horse
would pull the wagon.
Robert and his family suffered many hardships during and after the Civil War.
While making a crop the summer of 1865 he would take a small piece of
cornpone along with a small piece of tallow; during the noon hour he would
let the oxen graze and rest, while he picked edible greens which he would
boil over an open fire, adding the tallow as seasoning along with the
cornpone; this would be his meal. The precious corn supply was hidden in the
Stone Cemetery in one of the rock covered graves. As an old man he would
admonish the children not to waste food, saying, "If you had come as near to
starving to death as I did you would be more careful not to waste anything."
A somber occasion was the death of his beloved grandfather, William (Buck)
Price, with whom he had made his home after the death of his father. He was
shot by a band of lawless men who roamed the area plundering and killing at
will. It fell Robert's lot the grim duty to go under the cover of darkness
some 4 or 5 miles distance to bring his grandfather's body back home to be
buried in the family cemetery. They got him buried just as the sun was coming
up."
See this which says:
"Charles William Price born circa 1840 in TN, married Malinda
Thompson, marched to Little Rock in the "chained gang" and forced into the
Confederate Army, Company "K", 18th (Marmaduke's) Arkansas Infantry"
m Malinda Thompson 1860 Searcy County AR Census 1860
and this:
"Charles Price was a member of the Peace
Society in the early days of the Civil War and was a participant in the
infamous "chained gang," in December, 1861. He and many others were marched
in chains from Marshall, Arkansas to Little Rock, a distance of 125 miles.
They were forced to join the Confederate forces or suffer the consequences.
Charles Price died during the war."
Marmaduke's regiment was briefly called the 18th Arkansas Infantry commanded by Lt. Col John Sappington Marmaduke. It was also known as 1st Battalion of Arkansas Infantry which later was called the 3rd Confederate Infantry Regiment (this CSA unit is not to be confused with the 18th Arkansas Infantry (see this on Carroll's 18th Arkansas). The 3rd Confederate Infantry, Company I roster says (here) says:
PRICE, CHARLES W. Pvt Age 22. Enl 19 Dec 1861 at Little Rock, AR.
The entire company was stated as enlisted 19 DEC 1861 at Little Rock Arkansas. this says:
"...was among the 78 men in the famous "Chained Gang" brought before Col. Sam Leslie on December 9, 1861. This gang was a "peace organization" formed which had for its object the protection of life and property. It was composed of loyal Citizens, in Conway, Pope, Marion, Van Buren and Searcy Counties. After being betrayed, seventy-seven of these men were arrested and confined in jail at the county seat, then Burroughville (Sic). The Gang was accused of robbing and Jay hawking, were promised a trial but were never given one.
See this on the Arkansas Peace Society.
These three siblings of William "Buck" Price all suffered from their association with the Arkansas Peace Society.

From Seary Arkansas Rootsweb Archive (here)
There is a Searcy County Lindsey W. Price, who appears in the 1850 Tomahawk Township, Searcy County
census at age 15, born TN. He is apparently the son of William Price, age 50,
b. NC and wife Elizabeth Tabor Price, age 45, b. NC. Other children are: Susan
E., age 13, b. TN; Charles W., age 10, b. TN; Winney H., age 8, b. AR; Martha
C., age 5; Sine (?) L., age 2, b. AR and Julia R., age 8 months, b. AR.
Lindsey W. Price, married Martha Thompson (daughter of James & Lucinda
Thompson), and is the father of James W. and Charles. He is in the 1860 Searcy
County census: Tomahawk Twp., age 25, wife Martha age 19, b. MO. and children
James W. age 2, b. AR and Charles 3 months, b. AR.
Lindsey W. Price was implicated in the Peace Society by testimony of Peter Tyler
and Isaiah Ezell. He is mentioned in a letter dated 17 Jan 1862 by
Lindsey W. Price nor his wife/widow (?) does not show up in the 1870 or 1880
Searcy Co.censuses that I can find.
Elizabeth Petty (1799- ) m 1817 Chatham County NC (bondsman Isaac Petty)

[Joseph Hackeny (b 1778 Warren NC - d Maury TN 1849]
"Orator shows that on 2 Jan 1830 orator and Lindsey Price then of Maury entered a partnership in the blacksmith business...orator furnished two hands and all provisions...said Price agreed to work constantly in job and furnish hand...keep accounts, etc....Lindsey Price died intestate in Maury in 1834 and Joab Barton of Maury is admr...
These facts counter the statements that Lindsey Price left a will in Maury county.
Curious note: Elizabeth Price b Aug 1761 - May 1843 died in Maury County TN
Two sets of potentially related Prices are shown below:
See this cemetery record. Allen is NOT the son of Lindsey Price b 1795 or Buck Price b 1804 or Rev Henry Price b 1785.
Allen Atkins Price is nearby William Petty on 1870, 1860 and 1850 Pope AR censuses. His son lives with William Petty in 1870 and 1880.
Allen Price came to Arkansas after 1840 from Tennessee (see this). On the 1840 Henry County Tennessee census he is shown as 20-30 with one male under 5 (William L), wife 20-30, one daughter under 5 (Martha). He is adjacent to William Petty 40-50 and his wife 40-50 with NO children. William is a son of Isaac Petty (as is Elizabeth Petty who married Lindsey Price)
First wife is ? died before 1853. There is a Arkansas marriage license 11/29/1853 between Allen A Price and Sarah Sullivan (here). Third wife is Rachel Francis Campbell (1836-1892) married 1856 daughter of Alexander Campbell and Julia Linton. Allen's children are:
In 1860 and 1870 Allen A Price (age 49) is next door to:
Allen's sister Martha Patsy Price (1808 NC -1897 Pope AR) m Joshua Petty (1807 NC - 1864 IL) (see this son of Isaac Petty)
Both Allen A Price and Martha Price Petty could be children of Charles Price. Both are slightly younger than than William "Buck" Price and would require Charles to be fathering children at age 53. It is problematic, however, given Allen's birthplace as NC in 1811 and Charles Price of Webster MO being born in TN in 1802.
The Isaac Petty Genealogy site (see this) says that William Lindsey "Buck" Price (b. 1839) is the nephew of William Petty (b 1793). The site incorrecly states William Petty is William Lindsey "Buck" Price's uncle -- i.e., Allen Price's wife is William Petty's sister.
An Allen Price appears on the 1830 Paulaski KY Census
Two men named William Petty appear on the 1830 Chatham NC Census:
William Petty: 1 male <5; 2 males 15-20; 1 male 40-50; 2 females 15-20; 1 female 30-40
William Petty: 1 male 20-30; 1 female 20-30
Two men named William Petty appear on the 1840 Henry TN Census:
William Petty Senr: 1 male 15-20; 1 male 50-60; 1 female 50-60
William Petty: 1 male 40-50; 1 female 40-50
Adjacent is Joshua Petty age 40 and Martha Price (sister of Allen)
Nearby is :
A Charles Price appears on the 1799 and 1800 Greene Tennessee Taxlist
"Charles Price" is on the "Taxable Property in Captain William White's Company for the year 1799" and shows no land.
A "Charles Prise" appears on the 1800 Greene Tennessee taxlist in the "Taxables of Captain John Kesterson's Company".
Tradition has it that Rev. Henry Price, son of Charles Price was born in Greene County Tennessee and Married Susan Stults
Nearby Charles Price in Greene County is Lewis Stults (1764 MD - 1861 TN) with 100 acres of land.
This Stults is on the 1830, 1840 and 1850 Greene Tennessee Census:
Lewis Stultz is often shown as the son of John N. Stultz and Catherine ? (sometimes shown as Catherine Happel, daughter of Henry Happel (1723 Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany-1796 Berks PA) and Catherine Frey Miller (1733 Montgomery County PA-1808 Northhampton PA). Much of this is NOT born out in many websites which claim Catherine Frey Miller married George Hawk. Lewis' ancestors are substantially unknown. I discuss some options for children of John N. Stultz below.
This John N. Stultz appears on the 1800 Greene County PA census in far SW Pennnsylvania and no further references can be found
Below is some data on a Lewis Stultz' participation in the Philadelphia Militia during the American Revolution. The 1780 dates would make Lewis about 16 at the time which is feasible.
Further the geographic proximity of his MD birthplace on the 1850 census makes this a possibility but NOT a fact.

"...a will for Lewis Stults in Greene County TN on Oct 2 1857 that "Mentions John and his four sisters and a fifth person, Susannah as heirs" (See

This heir Susannah is more completely specified in Greene County, Tennessee Wills, 1783-1890, bycompiled by Goldene Filers Burgner, by Rev. Silas Emmett Lucas, Jr., Southern Historical Press, P.O. Box 738, Easley SC 29640, page 79.:
"Lewis Stutts Oct 2 1854 (probated)
Further, on page 93 of the same work is:
"Barberry Stutts Probated Mar 4 1861
This is the ONLY direct evidence I have found between Lewis Stults and daughter Susan Stults I have found. I am in the process of getting a copy of the will as opposed to the abstract mention in the "Greene County Pioneer."
As Lewis Stults census birtdate in 1765 AND the alleged mother Catherine ? is also 1765 I find this supposition highly unlikely.
The five sons and unknown daughters (see 1800 Greene PA census below for a count of the kids) of
Abner lists his birthplace as VA on the 1860 Bradley TN census. The whole family is listed as born in Tennessee on the 1850 census. Abner married 1819 Nancy Burnett (1803- ) in Knox Tennessee (see this and this) daughter of Isham Reuben Burnett (1766 Amherst VA-1856 Wayne KY) and Sarah Mayo (1768 VA-1819 Wayne KY)
Abner is on the 1830 Census Roane TN; 1840 Census Meigs TN; 1850 & 1860 Census Bradley TN. . Some sites say that this is the Abner was born 1770 in Pittsylvania county VA and married Nancy Eggleston in Henry County VA daugher of Thomas Eggleston II. That Abner and Nancy combination is too old to be this Bradley TN Abner/Nancy (see for example).
However, cindy3550@aol.com says on the Carroll Illinois Rootsweb site:
Children:
In 1860 Charles Stults is in Hamilton TN age 23 with wife Margret age 20 both b TN

daughter of Brittian Davis (1773 Caswell NC- Ronae TN) son of Basil Davis (bc 1750 Prince George MD
I have no evidence there was a brother David related to Lewis
and
The 1800 Greene PA census (Morgan township) shows perhaps Lewis' father John Stults and wife Catherine?: (unconfirmed)
Lewis says he was born in Maryland in 1764. John Stults' (of the 1800 Greene PA census) wife Catherine
This is the ONLY connectivity I have found between the Price and Stults relations as asserted by various researchers that Rev. Henry Price married Susan Stults(z).
The Origin of the name Lewis
Children of Lewis Stults and Barbary (see Wilfong below) are:
William's grandmother Barbary (Wilfong) Stultz is on the 1860 Greene TN census with son William (see above)
Several Cobble (or Kauble of Kobel) brothers appear in Greene County Tennesse (source) who are the children of Michael Cobble:
With Lewis Stults birth listed as Maryland 1764, we find in western Maryland in the 1783 Tax Assessment ("WA" is Washington County):
On the 1810 Washington MD Conocoheague Hundred, census is:
This is the first place we see an early Henry and Lewis in Maryland (birthplace of Lewis). Searches might include Ludwig/Ludwick as Lewis and Heinrich as Henry. Washington County was formed 1776 originally from Frederick country in 1774 and was composed of ALL western Maryland. This is particularly close to Pendleton County (VA later WV) where Lewis married Barbara Wilfong.
Franklin County Pennsylvania Land Warrants, Surnames M-Z, Pennsylvania Archives
Barbary (wife of Lewis Stulz) was born in 1772 likely in Pendleton county (now West Virgina, then Virginia) and died circa 1862.

* NOTE: Until 1817, Franklin County was the western border of Indian Lands. Marion, Hamilton and Braley counties to the east were formed in 1817, 1819 and 1836 respectively. An extra child: "Around 1818, it appears that Henry Feezell "became involved" with a young girl named Polly Henegar who may have resided in McMinn Co TN at the time. To this affair, a son was born out of wedlock whose birth name was Jacob Henegar born abt 1819. In a McMinn County TN court document dated March, 1826, Jacob Hennegar is declared "an orphan boy seven years of age bound to Henry Price Esq. until age 21". A second McMinn Co. court document dated September, 1826 states that "Henry Feezell petitioned the courts to have the sons name changed from Jacob Henegar to Jacob H. Feezell, and that he was to be entitled to all inheritance rights afforded his other children". So, there may be an extra male less than 5 on the 1820 census for Henry Price.
