Thomas Putman and Mary Barton from Anderson County, South
Carolina to Hall County in 1817, after a 10 year jaunt to Warren
County, Kentucky. They had a bunch of kinds. One of the kids,
David, had a son David Lumpkin Putman. He married
Elizabeth Jane
Pierce. David died in 1873
and Elizabeth Jane then
married Gerry David Price. Gerry David Price was a son of Gerry
H. Price and Phoebe Putman. Phoebe was also a daughter of Thomas
Putman and Mary Barton.
Debbie martin I am
still searching. Now have a name for my great-grandfather. It is
Gary D. Price. He served in Confederate Army specifically
Company B 10th Calvary Texas. I found his pension records at the
Georgia Archives indicating he filed for pension and received
due to having lost lower leg (have picture of him with wooden
leg!) in the battle of Jonesboro. Also, found his Last Will and
Testament files in Cherokee County, Georgia where it lists his
wife as Elizabeth Jane Price
(think her maiden name was Pierce),
sons Odie K. Price, Charles G. Price, and one daughter, Lecy J.
Price now known as Lecy J. Doss (which was my daddy's mother
Lecy Jane Price Doss). They had a farm in Holly Springs, GA
(close to Canton in Cherokee Cty.)The will indicates house in
the town of Holly Springs consisting of two acres more or less
lying on southside of the road leading from Cherokee Mills to
Hickory Flat. Appointed O. W. Putnam and J. J. Abercrombie to
execute will 27, September 1907, will was filed May 21 1912.
Have obtained picture of house, even went looking for it! Met
lots of Prices, but none seem to be family. He is buried as
Sixes Methodist Church (found beautiful marker rigiht behind
church building). In fact, this is where I found out he was
Confederate soldier because behind huge marker is flat marker
indicating that he served in CSA. MY QUESTION--DID HE COME FROM
TEXAS TO GA??? Cousin who is still alive and lives in Roswell,
GA said that Charlie G. Price went to Ohio (I think she said)
became a doctor because Mama Bense (Lecy Jane Price Doss married
a Bynum Benson after death of George Amos Doss in 1911) send my
aunt Jessie Duvall Doss (changed her name to Dorris Jessie Doss)
out to him to be treated for seizures). Does anyone know CHARLIE
G. PRICE OR ODIE K. PRICE??? Cousin did not know about Odie K.
or where he went (but then she is 73 now!) Really am stumped
here. Feel wonderful though in that it only took six months to
find out my great-grandfather's real name instead of just
initials as was listed in family Bible which is very sketchy!
Please e-mail me if you happen to know any of these names! Looking for the full name of my g-grandfather and Price family history. Per family Bible, listed as G.D.(or G.O.) Price. He was married to Elizabeth Jane Pierce. Possibly they lived in or around Canton, GA which is CHEROKEE COUNTY. Had one daughter (that I know of because she was my grandmother), Lecy Jane Price b. 16,Jan, 1879. She married George Amos Doss of Canton, GA on 2,Jan, 1898 "at the home of G.D. or G.O.Price. I have a picture plainly marked Ma & Pa Price. Supposedly, he died and Elizabeth Jane Pierce Price married a Dee Putnam (they had a couple of sons who lived in Birmingham, Al). No where can I find out where to start on the PRICES or Pierces. No mention of what the G.O. or G.D. stands for. Am guessing was in Cherokee Cty, Canton, Ga. Any help would be appreciated. E-mail if you like. LD,

Diaz-
Tried once before to send reply to your e-mail of 10/25/03 but having problems with computer which evidently timed out as it will do on occasions and I loose my email to someone. Am trying again...this is in response that my great grandmother-Elizabeth Jane Pierce was the sister to your GGG Grandfather, Andrew Jackson Pierce. I corresponded with you via e-mail many years ago and you directed me to several people and sites which I appreciate. Bill Putman, lives in Maine I believe, had sent me tons of info on the Putnams (my branch of Putmans changes spelling or it was the other way around!). In info, the connection to My G-grandfather, Gary David Price indicated he had married an Elizabeth Jane Pierce. Bill did not have any resources listed for where he got the Pierce as the maiden name and when I contacted him he could not remember who had given it to him. He has researched the Putmans/Putnams all over so had tons of stuff. So, I have been going only on the assumption that my g-grandmother's maiden name was Pierce. I have found no further information on her past my g-grandfather's will and no burial place or indication of where buried even though I have spent many long hours at the Archives in Atlanta,GA.
I am attaching (hope it pastes) some of the research notes I have that I sent to Brent Currie who is my third cousin and lives in Georgia. Please read over, hope doesn't confuse you too badly! Let me know when is a good time to call you to talk or please send me correspondence by e-mail to this address (I don't use martin141@yahoo.com much anymore and not for my genealogical research).
You said that you got connection from your distant cousin, Dan Pierce in California. I have been so excited...you wouldn't think so with it taking me this long to get back to you! If you get this today, please let me know if I should call you today. I am in Alabama, 17 miles south of Birmingham in Pelham (Shelby County) and am on Central Time.
Will attempt to paste my notes now and sign off to send this to you so don't loose it again. I am waiting anxiously to hear from you!
Your Cousin- Debbora (Debbe) Dorris Doss Martin Great-Granddaughter of Gary David Price and Elizabeth Jane Pierce Putnam Price
Hello Brent, I am so sorry I am just now getting back to you but computer once again wanting to play difficult. I am mortified that I did not know about Cousin Mary Jane. Your grandmother positively doted on her two girls. I know that she never thought to live longer than her babies. I do hope your mom, Barbara Gail, is doing okay. So terrible to think that Jane lost her sister and now Barbara Gail has lost her sister. I know that when I was there I gave them both my address, but know things get misplaced in the daily course of life. I so wish I had known. I do hope your mother will forgive me. I am glad that Cousin Jane is not in poor health. I know she was having difficulty remembering some things but was still as pretty as ever and getting around good. I know I will have to come to Georgia soon to see her.
Thank you so much for the pictures. Unfortunately in those days (talk like that was in ancient times!), the one that made the picture album knew who everyone was and thus did not write down the names. This is still something I am guilty of so must get my names and dates on pictures too.
Three of these pictures I remember from the one album Jane could find when I was there. I am curious though as to where you got the dates because the 1916 Holly Springs and the 1918___Granny do not make any sense to me. The one that says Granny is my great-grandmother and Nellie Corrine's mother, Elizabeth Jane Price with my great grandfather, Gary David Price. The man with the beard is also Gary David Price and I believe that is Nellie standing behind him. The lady beside Nell I thought at first might possibly be the youngest daughter from the marriage of Elizabeth Jane and her first husband David Lumpkin Putnam , Martha , but she was born in 1872, so possibly it was a cousin. The breakfast picture also appears to be great grandfather, Gary David Price (but don't know why he would have shaved off his beard??) . The thing that is definitely confusing are the dates (I don't remember dates being in the album--were they on the backs of the pictures??) Gary David Price died May 12, 1912 (born May 28, 1938 His will proves that they lived in Holly Springs. There is a picture of a house which was where all four children (Nellie Corrine, Lecy Jane, Odian K., and Charley G Price were born. Gary David Price married Elizabeth Jane Pierce Putnam after her first husband, David Lumpkin Putnam died of wounds he received in the Civil War.
I'll try not to confuse you... David Lumpkin Putnam (age 26) was living with his father, David Putnam (53, a farmer of considerable means having $4000 personal property and $400 personal estate), his mother Lecy Castleberry Putnam (53) one of his brother's Berry (23) and one of his sister's Elisabeth (16) in 1860 in Canton, Cherokee Cty., GA. He and Elizabeth Jane apparently married sometime between 1860 and early 1861. In 1870, David Lumpkin Putnam (now 36, a farmer with $1000 value of real estate and $250 value of personal property) was living with Jane (Elizabeth Jane, age 28), Belle (9) David L. (apparently Jr. age 7), Odeller (4) Corah L. (2) and Nannie (6 mos old born in Jan, 1870). This is per the 1870 census for Woodstock the 890th district in Cherokee County, GA in June, 1870. Okay, now we stop and go to the Prices....
In 1850-Floyd County, GA lived my great-great grandfather Garey H. Price (age 46 with value of real estate at $5000 and born in NC), his wife Pheby (misspelled by the enumerator I am sure as correct spelling is Phoebe and she was 40 born in KY) with the following who were their children: Mary (17) Thomas P. (16) Thomas P. (14) John R. (12), Garry (11--this checks out all through the different census records confirming born 1838), Elizabeth J. (9) George W. and Andrew J. (who were twins age 6), Martha M. (4) Josephine (1) and an Elizabeth Webb (age 40 of whom I am not quite sure how she fits into the picture quite yet but was quite possibly a sister to Garry H. Price).
In 1860- Wood County, TX lived my gg-grandfather G H Price (55 with $4,000 value of real estate and $10,000 value of personal estate which in those days meant for a very wealthy person), GG-grandmother Eda (definitely Phoebe as shows born in Kentucky and she is age 49), Gary D. (21), G.W. and A.J. (ages 17) Martha (13, Berry (9) Jsephine (10) K. R. (who I now know is Kinchen Rambo Price age 6) and Lisa (4). Lisa is the only one born in Texas.
From 1999 post Does
anyone have info on this lady who was my great-grandmother?? It
goes like this:
Okay, now I have gotten myself confused as to why I went this way with this!!! I think basically to show ages and who some of the people might be in the pictures on the "farm" at Holly Springs.
Gary David (please don't get confused re: spelling of Gary. I will always use this spelliing to denote my great-grandfather as this is how he signed his name on his will. Garry H or Garey H. will always refer to great-great grandfather and varies depending on the document I am referring to. I am sure you know that throughout the early years of our country, the spelling of ones name varied quite often!) also served in the Civil War. He has a Confederate marker at his grave behind Sixes Methodist Church in Canton, GA where is the ONLY Price buried with Elizabeth Jane's first husband and his parents as well as a child that she and David Lumpkin Putnam lost.
Gary David lost his leg when it was "shot off by a cannonball" in the battle of Jonesboro. One picture I have of him shows the wooden stump, the prosthesis required in order for a soilder to qualify for a pension. He qualifed at the set price of $100 per year for the loss of a leg below the knee. He and Elizabeth Jane (still do not know if Pierce is definitely maiden name or not, still searching!) married sometime between 1870 and 1877 because their first son, Odian K. Price was 3 years old in the 1880 census. (Odian K. Price, at the age of 37, married Miss Hassie N. James who was 23 on 15, October 1914 in Selma, Dallas County, Alabama. This is the last mention I have found of him). My grandmother, Lecy Jane Price, was born on 16, January 1879. Charley G. Price was the last son and he was born May 1887 (listed with Gary David and Elizabeth on the 1900 census at age 18 with Gary David's birth date as May, 1838 and Elizabeth Jane's birth date as October 1844, married 25 years so this would put them marrying in 1875!) It then gets REALLY confusing for me because in the 1911 census, here again is Gary David but listed as G.D., now 71 years old, Elizabeth Jane now listed as E.J. age 65 and listed as a SON is ______Edd who is 20 years old! In Gary David's will there is mention of ONLY Odian K., Charley G. and Lecy Jane Price now Lecy Jane Doss. The ages compute for Gary David and Elizabeth Jane...who was Edd???
(note: I have given you above the family content in 1870, however my great-great grandfather and gggrandmother in 1870 are still in Wood County, Texas now listed with only two of the children living with them, B.P. (19) and K.R. (16). Garey H. Price's value of real estate is now only $2,000 and personal estate is a mere $500. Certainly not poor for those days but a significant decrease from 10 years before and prior to the Civil War.) There were others of his sons, now married and living with their families in Wood County, Texas. It appears that Gary David Price was the only one of the sons to remain in Georgia.
GG Grandmother Phoebe Putnam is buried in Yantis Cemetery Quitman, Wood County, Texas but we have been unable to find where GG Grandfather Garey H. Price is buried. So too, we find GGrandfather Gary David Price buried with the family of his wife's first husband...but where is my GGrandmother Elizabeth Jane Price buried??? Charley G. just simply does not show up anywhere. (Cousin Jane said he became a doctor because he treated Aunt Jess for "spells" which were seizures and I think she said he was in either Ohio or Oklahoma..something that started with an O.) Odian or Odie as he is listed when he married Hassie just fades away as well.
The man in the uniform with the donkey could, only quessing, be a Putnam or a Price or maybe even one of Nell's many gentlemen friends. She appears in the pictures to have been a very studious type young lady but also quite popular. Maybe more searching will tell!
I think I have given you more information than you can digest at one sitting! Am going back to the top and write--PLEASE PRINT BEFORE READING! as a warning. My mailing address (just noticed it is after 11:00 p.m. here) is: 141 King Valley Drive Pelham, Al 35125 (205) 664-1970 Best I guess to e-mail each other because we could both go into debt with the phone company trying to share information. If you come up with any proof at all of Pierce as last name of Elizabeth Jane _____Putnam Price or where she is buried or any other tidbit or clue, let me know. Maybe together we can piece together the missing puzzle pieces. Will have to print out the rest of our line as time goes on as we are related to too many people our in Texas, some here in Alabama that I have not even begun to explore, many more in Georgia and so on...lost my train of thought! Are you married? children? what do you do??? brothers and sisters? Know Barbara Gail told me but dummy me didin't write it all down.
Will let you go for now. Look forward to more pictures. Have what I believe is the only copy of Ma and Pa Price looking quite spiffy as well as Ma and Pa and the children showing his wooden leg (Mama Bense left to me..that would be Lecy Jane Price Doss Bense). Will get you a copy...need your address!
Bye for now-- Your cuz--Debbe I believe that A.J. and Nancy's daughter Elizabeth (b.1844) was married to David L. Putnam in Cherokee County in 1859. I haven't been able to find them yet on the 1860 census (because there is no on-line index), but in 1870 they live in Woodstock, Cherokee Co. and have 5 children, with Elizabeth going by the name Jane. By 1880, something has happened to David L. Putnam, and it appears that Elizabeth has remarried. The census is very difficult to read, but her husband appears to have the last name Price (although I can't find a record of her remarrying in the Cherokee Co. marriage records on-line).
There were several Price families in Cherokee County from 1850 thru 1880. However, there are no Pierce/Pearce families shown on the 1850 or 1870 census indices of Cherokee County. There also seems to be one Pence family. At any rate, the only Pierce marriages in Cherokee County between 1855 and 1884 are the ones shown below (whom I believe are all from your A.J. Pierce family):
PUTMAN, David L. PEIRCE, Elizabeth Dec 15, 1859 D 267 PEIRCE, George W. MOSS, Molly Nov 20, 1864 D 273 GRICE, Daniel PIERCE, Georgia A. Nov 28, 1878 E 418 PEACE, J. H. B. WALCH, Vina Dec 14, 1882 E 693 Putman should actually be spelled Putnam. The following marriage is also the wife of John R. Pierce remarrying, but the name was misindexed as Price:
MILLWOOD, James PRICE, Nancy Jane Aug 13, 1865 D 231 Your Pierce family seems to be the only one in Cherokee County during that period.
Georgia A. Pierce who married Daniel Grice is the daughter of John R. Pierce and Nancy J. Wimpey.
Also, on the 1850 census of Lumpkin Co., GA, the family of Andrew and Nancy Pierce includes a 2 year old son named James. I would assume that he is a child of theirs that died young.
