*John Price is not proven a son of Alexander Price but proximity of other members of the family make this compelling. But he is not listed with the other grandchildren of Lambrook Thomas in his will proven in 1713 which one would think he would (see below). He may be of some other relation as there were other Price families in the area at the time of John's birth. NEEDS MORE RESEARCH
