Little is know about Joseph C. Price's early life. He and some of his children are hard to identify in the census. This is due to so many other Price using the same name and such early time in GA and MS history.

There must be a connection to Benjamin Rollins, Lodowick Rollins, Randolph Price and Stephen Price.

Joseph and Celia Price of GA and MS
        What we know about the family of Joseph and Celia PRICE comes from bounty land Application of Moses PRICE in 1891 and the research of Thomas F. RICHARDSON. With the two sources, census and other records can be use to fill in the details.   Thomas F. RICHARDSON records the oral traditions of descendants. The bounty land records was made because of a misunderstanding. Moses Price and his sister, Mary HUNT, both of Scotts Co, MS, believed they were entitled as heirs of Joseph \Price to bounty land for his service in War of 1812. Joseph had been alive when the 1850 law was passed authorizing bounty, but he had not claimed it. However, in order for heirs to be eligible, they had to be minors at the time of death of the person who served, plus some other conditions. It is possible that Joseph PRICE SR, was taking care of grandchildren, ch of his son Joseph L. when he died; but grandchildren didn’t quality. Both Moses and Mary were over 21 when their father died, so the application was rejected summarily. However, in pursuing the matter from 1891 to 1894, Moses PRICE and Mary HUNT recorded much about their family and included bible pages from several of the family bibles. They included affidavits from people who had known family members.

        Moses Price stated his father, Joseph Price was 68 or 70 when he died in Lawrence Co. Ms, in 1852, that he was 5 feet, 6 inches in height, fair complexion, auburn hair, with gray eyes, and that he could not read, write or sign his name. He enlisted in the war of 1812 at Liberty in Amite Co. MS, on ___ Sept 1814 and served through the Battle of New Orleans __ Mar 1815. Moses stated that his father served in the company commanded by Capt. William A. Lucas, Col. HINDS regt. And that he was mustered out at Natchez. ( The Joseph PRICE service record shows that he was in Lt. Col Nelson’s Detachment of Mississippi Militia

        Rebecca PRICE of Brookhaven, widow of Thomas PRICE, stated she was intimately acquainted with Joseph PRICE and heard him talk about his services at New Orleans and at other places. Two of his comrades had been Benjamin BRISTER and R. SHATTUCK, both of whom she knew. He oral statement was taken in 1893 and read back to her before she made her mark.

        James Hall (b 1816) of Lincoln Co made a statement as a former neighbor who knew the family. He thought all the children were dead except for Moses. In 1892, he listed the eight ch as Jefferson, Thomas Joseph, Cynthia, Kate, Martha, Polly, Moses. In 1893, he corrected his earlier statement and gave the name and death year of each child as he recalled them as:
Mary , Living age 76
Martha, d 1874, age 55
Roderick, d 1834, age 12
Thomas , d 1869, age 44
Lucinda, d 1870, age 49,
Catherine, d 1885, age 52
Joseph, d 1886, age 51
Moses, living

Mary HUNT made her affidavit from Scott Co and made her mark to it. As she could not read or write. She stated her father and mother were Joseph PRICE and Celia ROLLINS, and that they were married in GA in 1803, that neither has been md before, that Celia d in May 1848 in Scott Co, that Joseph d in 1852 in Lawrence Co. She Showed each deceased brother’s name and Deceased sister’s married Surname and their years of death as.
Martha Richardson, d 1874
Lodowick PRICE, d 1834
Lucinda RUSHING, d 1890
Joseph Price, d 1888
Catherine Newman, d 1870
Thomas PRICE, died 1869

In 1894, Moses PRICE in Scotts Co. stated his sister Mary HUNT d 18 Mar 1894 and that he was the only living child of Joseph Price. He stated he was born 15 Mar 1819 in PIKE co.. In other required statement for pension or bounty land applicants, Moses PRICE stated he had been a /union man, had opposed Secession, had voted against it, had not held any Confederate office, and had opposed the War in everyway he could. In one other statement, Moses Price deferred from his sister on the county of death of his father and on the year of death of his mother. Moses said Celia Price died in March 1854 in Scott co, but she has not been identified on the 1850 census….
(It should be noted that oral statements of people who do not read nor write can be quite inaccurate on arithmetic details. They do not add nor subtract very well, and even be inaccurate on their own ages. From the best available current information, Joseph and Lodowick were two names for the same person, known later as Joseph Lodowick PRICE.)

Moses PRICE included four bible records in support of his claim. The pages were probably taken from several bibles. They were more accurate than the oral statements.

The first page (left column)
    Elijah Richardson   b 21 May 1828
    Thomas J. Richardson b 6 Nov 1829
    Wilam [M] B. Richardson b 7 Nov 1831 M crossed out
    James M. Richardson (M may be W)
    Martha J. Richardson b 13 Mar 1835

(right column)
F. W. Hunt   b 21 Jan 1846

(These are the known children of James W. and Martha (Price) Richardson and a grandchild of Joseph and Mary Hunt)

The second bible page (left column)
        Joseph Hunt b 3 Jan 1795
        Mary Hunt 3 Nov 1805
        James Hunt b 6 Nov 1823
              Next entry crossed out Susan or Sarriann Nancy Hunt
        Walter or Waller b 30 Aug 1824
      Franklin W. Hunt b 30 Jan 1846
      Saryann Elizabeth Hunt b 14 dec 1847

(right column)
        Mary Rushing b 2 Aug 1833

        F.W. Hunt and Permelia F. Gun md 26 Sept 1865
        L. F. E. Hunt b 2 Sep 1866
        Permelia Hunt d 16 Sep 1866

( this page was definitely from the bible of Joseph and Mary Hunt. The crossed out entry again shows on the third page, but it is still not understood. What shows in the right column is likely the two first children of Jacob and Lucinda Rushing, then a familiar tragedy at the birth for the wife of F.W. Hunt)

The Third bible page (Left Column)
    Sarah J. Newman b 8 Dec 1835
    James M. Hunt b 5 Nov 1823
    (Ineligible) Hames or James G. Hunt b 30 Aug 1824
    F. W. Hunt b 30 Jan 1846
    S. E. Hunt b 4 Dec 1837
    Amanuwell Hunt b 21 Aug 1849
    Juliann Anciville ( no other name) b 7 Jul 1853
    Lemuel M. Hunt 1855
    Marthaalin Hunt 24 July 1858
        (right column)
    F. W. Hunt b 30 Jan 1846
(The illegible name could be the wife of James M. Hunt, but it does not match census records. Juliann Anciville does not show up in the census record with the HUNT family, but there was an Anciville Price, wife of one Joseph Price. The reason F.W. Hunt shows up so many times may be partly because pages from different bibles were used. Possibly, someone who did not read nor write forgot it had been recorded and requested it be recorded again.)

The fourth bible page ( left Column)
    Mary Price E. Price b 11 May 1859
    Joseph Price JR., and Amanda H. Price m 14 Jul 1858

(right column)
        Commodore Perry Pullin b 16 Mar 1859
        John, b 26 Oct 1847
        Danel, b 25 May 1849
        Sam, b 27 Mar 1852,
        Viney, b 15 Oct 1854
        Beady, b 1 Mar 1857
        Ciney, b 3 Nov 1860

( Joseph Price, Jr., moved to Lawrence and Marion counties from where he lived at the time of the bible entry was made. He is know as Joseph Lodiwick Price, JR., by descendants. It is quite probable that he was with the Hunt family in Scotts County in 1850/. The entries on the right without surnames maybe Pullins, but they have not been found on census records.)

Combining what is now known, we can say that Joseph PRICE started his life on the Georgia frontier, possibly in Green Count, about 1782-4, and that he died in Franklin or Lawrence County, MS, about Jan 1852. He probably moved with Price and Rollins relatives to the frontier in southwest Miss Terr before 1814, lived there several years, then moved into Choctaw Indian lands when they became avaible after 1836, then moved back to southwest MISS where some of his children lived. About 1803 in GA, he md Celia Rollins (c1785 NC- prob. D 1848/1854 Scott Co. MS) dau of a Rollins family moving from NC through GA ( In 1880, May Hunt stated her parents were born in NC. In 1900, Moses PRICE stated his at her was born in GA and his mother in NC.) Several of their children were born in GA before moving to MS. They may of have lived for a short time in LA as one daughter shows 1813 birth LA. Then they were in Amite Co. by 1814 and were still therein 1816 for the pre –state census. Then they were in Lawrence Co for 1818, pike county for 1831, then in Scott co by1840. His wife probably d in Scott Co, causing Joseph to return to Lawrence or Franklin co, The family homes were apparently on the Bogue Chitto River, which has branches in Franklin, Lawrence, Pike, and later Lincoln counties. It is possible that Joseph Price had a land grant in the present city of Brookhaven, but the grant which can be identified was to be to his son Thomas. Ch….
