William Price is likely buried in the Marietta Confederate Cemetery (381 Powder Springs Street, Marietta, Georgia 30060), per personal remembrance of Claudie Mae Roberson Paramore that he "died in the Civil War and was buried over in Marietta, Georgia".

William Price was a member of the Confederate 10th Cavalry, Company K, along with his brother Ervin Marion Price and double first cousin Burrell Price, and involved in defending against the Atlanta Campaign of Sherman, in several battles from Kentucky, Tennessee, and into Georgia.

William Price was last shown on muster roll on 30 Jun 1864. He very likely died around July 1864 as part of this Cavalry unit. It fits with Claudie Mae's anecdote and he was defintitely a member of this Calvary unit fighting there. It all fits.

Brother Ervin was captured in September 1864 near Murfreesboro TN and held prisoner at Johnson's Island on Lake Erie in Sandusky, Ohio, for the remainder of the war. He was released 18 Jun 1865. Burrell continued with the unit, as a Farrier, through to the end of the war, last appearing on a muster roll in May of 1865 when he took his oath and headed home from Hillsborough, North Carolina, where the unit was engaged in the Campaign of the Carolinas.

Recent Y-DNA test prove with a very strong certainty that William Price was also the father of King William Roberson.
