Surely someone who is interested in Wayne Co. history will be able to tell me more about Benjamin Price who was among the first to settle the area and established the first permanent settlement. The Kentucky Dept. of Libraries and Archieves states that, " In 1775 Benjamin Price built a cabin and established Price's Station, one of Kentucky's first permanent settlements. Although the settlement was a prime spot for agriculture due to its being located among the Cumberland Plateau, the Knobs, and the Pennyroyal Plateau, continued Indian raids limited the settlement's expansion."
I know that he married "Jincey" Simpson, daughter of Christopher Simpson. They moved on to Alabama and appear to have been significant landholders.
I haven't been able to learn anything about Benjamin's lineage. Any help would be appreciated.
