Notes:

Other sources say he may have been born in NJ or NY.
--
He settled in Osnaburg Township, Stark Co OH in 1804. He was the first tax collector.

Benjamin md Elizabeth Love
Osee (dau.) md Henry Welker
William md. Mary Polly Gess
Mary md Busey Cahill
Thomas md Susan/Susannah Miller
Peter md 2nd Nancy Roland

On the 1840 census Josiah Price age 60-70 is living next to Benjamin and Thomas. I think Josiah is a
brother of this James.

A biography of David P Price, son of Josiah, says that Josiah was born in NJ in 1782, left an orphan at an early age, and grew up in Washington Co PA. Josiah's wife was Catherine Farber. Note that this James' son John married a Farber.

1820 census Stark Co OH p186a, Pike twp
Jas Price 3 M 10-16, 1 M 16-26, 1 M 45+, 1 F 0-10, 1 F 16-26, 1 F 45+ 030101-10101

This was the only James Price in Stark Co, and my James was about 50. His daughter Osee was already married, though, so he should have only one daughter at home.
The 1830 census for Pike Co has Benjamin Price, James Price, and John Price next to each other. Next
to them is Michael Welker, brother of Henry Welker, who married Osee.

According to the Ancestry.com index, there were 3 James Price families in PA in 1800:
Bedford Co: James Price 11001-11010
Northampton Co: James Price 00111-01201
Wayne Co: James Price 21010-30010

Bedford Co and Wayne Co also have a John Price living near James. Northampton can't be my James,
because he has at least one daughter age 6.

The 1790 census has two James Price families in PA:
1790 census Bucks Co PA p160
James Price 2 M 16+, 1 M <16, 2 F

1790 census Bucks Co PA p201
James Price 1 M 16+, 1 M <16, 3 F

The first one can't be him, because he isn't old enough to have a son over 16.
There are several other Price families in Bucks Co, but no John and no Josiah.
