Indiana Williams Smith Price was born in 1860 in Rowan County, North Carolina. She was the daughter of James Williams and Nancy Curtis Williams and was of mixed African, Caucasian, and Native American heritage. Very little is known about her early life, but on October 31, 1879, she married a multiracial farm laborer named John Taborn in Hillsboro, Orange County, North Carolina. The couple later had two daughters together. They were Essie and Lula Williams. At some point, when these girls were young, John Taborn was put in jail after being accused of setting fire to the town of Oxford. He was later accused of burglary and the attemped rape of Belle E. Daniel Booth, the wife of a white doctor. He was found guilty and hanged in Oxford, North Carolina. Later on, Indiana married her second husband, Charlie H. Smith, who was a fireman. Indiana had five more children by Charlie. They were Bettie, Walter, Lorenzo, Roscoe, and Maude Smith. Most of these children were born in the town of Winston, Forsyth County, North Carolina. Charlie died 1904, and in that very same year, Indiana married a widower named Samuel A. Price, who came in as a stepfather to her children. This husband also predeceased her. Indiana died on December 24, 1955 in Winston-Salem at the approximate age of 95.
