Estate of Zachariah Price (Sussex County Clerk CA 117)
Location: Frankford township
Heirs: Zachariah Price (Pochuck farm on Wawayanda Creek, Vernon township), Francis Price (mill lot), John Price (part of Pochuck farm), Henry, Sarah, Elizabeth, Joanna, Mary, Jerusha.
Dated: 8 Dec 1806.
Remarks: Land conveyed to Zachariah Price in many transactions, the earliest was returned to Oliver Delancey and Henry Cuyler, 1759, Perth Amboy (S:181), south side of Papacotting (Papakating), Henry's share.

Inventory of Mary Price, dec'd, of Frankford township, dated 27 May 1824, $100 to be paid annually from 1 Jan 1807 to 22 Aug 1822, the time of her decease.

Zachariah, Mary, and two children are buried in a family burial plot in Frankford Township. There are no other known persons buried there. The burial site is enclosed with a stone wall and is on David Drive surrounded by a new housing development known as Bailey Green off of Fenwick Road.

Zachariah's date of birth of 1744 is taken from a family bible record of his parent's. His older brother Zachariah died 31 May 1744 and it would be more likely that the second Zachariah was born 22 Sept 1744 and that his marker is incorrectly inscribed with 1743 as a date of birth. The date of death for John Price on his marker is as stated June 31st. Below are dates of birth for the children of Zachariah and Mary Price, evidently taken from a family bible or similar record and printed in Genealogical and Memorial History of the State of New Jersey. These dates do not agree with some other records, including the cemetery markers above, but they are here given.
