Thomas Jefferson Price (b. 10 Oct 1833; d. 2 May 1862; bur. Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Lincoln Co., Miss.), 7th Mississippi Infantry, Co. B A con of Allen and Betsy Reeves Price.
A Private in Co. B of 7th Mississippi Infantry. He died at home from wounds received during the war. The family still has the minnie ball that he carried home in his neck. He was shot 6 Apr 1862 at Shiloh. He must have been about to fire his rifle to have received the wound in the arm, shoulder and neck, and have the ball embedded as it was. He fell near the "Bloody Pond."
He survived the march to Corinth 7 Apr, but the doctors there could not remove the bullet. At Thomas's insistence, they allowed him to return home to today's Pleasant Hill Community near Bogue Chitto, Lincoln County, Miss.
Because of all the trash the minie ball had carried into the wound (mud, cloth, germs, other debris), the wound became horribly infected. Soon after returning home, he died. He was buried in the cemetery on the Calvin Brister home place and later (about 1965) moved (along with his wife) to the Pleasant Hill Baptist Church Cemetery, Lincoln Co., Miss.
His wife Lydia never remarried. She died 6 Apr 1919 and was buried beside her husband. She was the daughter of Joseph (Joe) Price and Nancy Herrington.
