Robert Price b. 10 Feb 1730/31 removed to Frankford township, Sussex County, New Jersey with his parents, m. Abigail Coult b. c. 1738 daughter of Isaac Coult and Hannah Hill. Robert m. after Abigail's death and referenced a wife in his Will, but unnamed. He appeared on the 1773 Newton tax rateables as Robard Prise with 140 acres, 22 horses and cattle. He appeared on the 1774 Newton tax rateables with 140 acres, 22 horned cattle. He was a member of the Sussex County Committee of Safety, Aug 1775.
Will dated 29 Aug 1779 Newton. Wife to have 1/3 of movable estate. Son, Samuel land I bought of Job Curzad of 80 acres which joins line of Francis Price. Sons, Robert, John, and Zachariah, remainder of lands when 21. Daughters, Mary, Abigail, and Lucy, rest of movable estate. Executors, brothers Francis and Zachariah and eldest son, Samuel. Witnesses, Dougald Smith, Christopher Case, Samuel Kennedy Jr. Inventory, 24 Jan 1782 by James Stott, Christopher Case, James Morrow. Proved 28 Jan 1782 (Liber M:83).
Partition of estate recorded 23 Jan 1797, witnessed by John Gustin, James Hamilton, and John DeWitt. Five sons were named: Robert Price, John Price, Francis Price, Samuel Price, and Zachariah Price. Francis was not named in the Will, either born after the date of the Will to the second wife, omitted from the Will, or not abstracted from the Will. The original Will should be consulted.
Samuel was cited as the eldest son in the Will and it is known from his cemetery memorial marker that he was born in 1756. This would make Abigail about eighteen years of age at his birth and perhaps Samuel was also the eldest child. This would indicate most of the other sons were under twenty one as the above Will states and it would be unlikely that Robert would have omitted a minor child from his Will, so perhaps Francis was a child of his second wife.
Samuel Price b. 1756.
Mary Price b. perhaps c. 1758/60.
Abigail Price b. c. 1762.
Robert Price Jr., b. c. 1764 d. 12 Aug 1793 30y (ts) Frankford Plains Cemetery. Inventory of estate dated 14 Sept 1793 made by Francis Price and John Gustin. On 17 Sept 1793 administration granted to Samuel Price and Joseph Northrup. If he m. and had children they are unknown. The Mary Price who m. 24 Dec 1793 (justice docket of Daniel Predmore Genealogical Magazine of New Jersey 1931, p. 67) John Bell was perhaps his widow and not his sister Mary, since from the order of children in the Will of Robert Sr., Mary was perhaps b. c. 1758/60 and would have been in her thirties if she m. in 1793. In a deed (O-255) dated 4 Apr 1798 John Price of Frankford township conveyed to Samuel Price of Frankford township the “whole of the lands of Robert Price, Jr., owned at his decease below the center of the great road through Pepocotting” and bounded by Samuel Price and Robert Price. Most of the tract assigned to Robert Price, Jr., in the division of his father’s estate (Division A-24) was included in the parcel sold by John Price to Jacob Cary on 1 June 1815 (M2-362). In that deed John claims title as a result of conveyances to him from the heirs of Robert Price, but it would appear, most of those deeds were never recorded.
