A query on the Prince Edward board ask for info on General Sterling Price. Check Missouri websites. My grandfather, Sterling Price Morris, was a namesake of the General. My g grandfather, Granville Monroe Morris (of Warren Co KY) was under the command of the General during the Civil War. Another suggestion: try the google search engine. google.com or keyword google. Just type in his name and see what comes up.

Is there a family tree on the internet for Sterling Price or Joseph Price. I would like to look at them.

Prince Edward County, VA - I am also looking for information on General Sterling Price and who his parents were. I am also looking for birth information on Miles Hart Price, possible brother to Sterling Price. I did find some Descendants of Sterling Price c1769 in Greensville Co., VA but can't connect him to General Sterling Price born 1809 in Prince Edward Co. VA. Need information on Miles Hart Price mostly and their relationship if any.

I am also looking for information on General Sterling Price. My last name was Price. All I know is that the Price's came from VA into KY and then into AR where I live. I need to know who the Gen.'s parents were. He is suppossedly my great, great, great grandfather. I can't find any records of his children either. If anyone can find any information on him let me know.

Generals In Gray by Eric J. Warner, Louisiana State University Press, 1959, stated that Sterling Price was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, on Sep 20, 1809, was educated at Hampden-Sydney College and afterwards studied law. In 1831 he moved to Missouri with his parents and purchased a farm in Chariton County which became his home. [Political and military career not repeated here] He died in St. Louis, Missouri, on Sep 29, 1867, and was buried at Bellefontaine Cemetery, St. Louis, Missouri.

Hope this is of some help to you.

Thanks for the information on Sterling. I believe I now know who his parents were, but does anyone know who his brothers and sisters are? I'm trying to find out if Miles Hart Price was a brother or a possibly a cousine to Gen. Sterling Price. Miles is my direct descendent but I have come to a road block to where these two are connected (or if it all).
Thanks for all the help!!!!

Gen Sterling Price was my ggggrandfather. His birth year was 1809 and death year 1867. He is buried in St. Louis MO. Two of his sons are buried there also. Hope this helps you on your search. I guess we're distant cousins.

Hey, I just learned this weekend that Gen Sterling Price is also my gggggrandfather as learned by my father who is always exploring our family history as it relates to the military. I would be interested in sharing what information you might have, as well as whatever I can get from my dad.

Hello - is anyone able to confirm that General Sterling Price was/was not in some way connected to Springville High School?

I have attached a photo of his name, written, in pencil, on a page in the book Caesar's Gallic War (Ginn & Company, 1906)

The reason I ask is because I have just added this book to my collection and there are a page or two of notes written, again, in pencil, albeit not in the same hand that scribed the name Sterling Price, followed by Springville High School. Above those words, in what -may- be a third hand at work, is the name Ethel Jenkins.

While the annotated, once blank pages, are partially legible to me I think I can decipher much more with a bit of concentrated effort, which I have only a minor interest in doing should this book not have been, at one time, in the possession of General Sterling Price.

I was able to read a few words at the end of one page which, if I am correct, were: "unless equalizing the place an opportunity be given, he did not think to ask with the Lieutenant."

It is tempting for me to conclude that the Lieutenant was a member of the General's Staff, however he could just as easily have been a member of Caesar's! Crib notes, as it were... by none other than Ethel Jenkins, as her 'penned' name bears -some- similarity to the pages of writing.

I would sincerely appreciate any knowledgeable person replying with their thoughts...

Thanks in advance!
