Lucy Price was the daughter of Samuel Price & Elizabeth C. Richardson who migrated from Virginia to Kentucky while Lucy was still in school. She remained in Virginia to finish her studies under the watchful eye of relatives and when graduated was sent to Kentucky with a group led by a reliable captain. The party went overland via what is now West Virginia to a river port where they & their horses were put on a barge heading west for Kentucky. The party ran into trouble with Indians while tied up for the night and Lucy ended up swimming her horse across the Ohio River at a point near Maysville where she was rescued, taken to Lexington, and reunited with her parents.

Lucy married Capt. Daniel Weisiger III on 15 May 1791 at the Price farm near Fort Spring near what is now Woodford County, KY. (Daniel was a few days shy of being 28 years old.) , and he took her to live in Frankfort, KY.

Mother of ten children (see list under spouse, Daniel), she ran the inn, Weisiger House, for some years after her husband died, enlarging it & developing a stage line from Frankfort to Louisville. She was helped at the inn & with the stage line by son Samuel and her Lindsey son-in-law.

Lucy P. Weisiger & Thomas Noble Lindsey, owned a home jointly at Wapping & Washington but after her daughter (his wife), Isabella W. Lindsey, died, Lucy moved to Texas to live with son Dr. Joseph Weisiger, Dr. Weisiger's 3rd wife Alethia Ann Glover, and several of Joseph's children & step-children.
