Look Out For The Boys!

Price Orr
The next generation descending from the Price line no longer carry the Price name. Mary (Price) and Benjamin Orr had twin sons, Price and James. These were the only children of Mary Price. The boys were born in March of 1908 in Knoxville. They split their time between Jonesville, VA and Knoxville, TN. Both boys attended Knoxville High School and graduated in 1927. Both also attended the University of Tennessee Knoxville.

Mary Price

My Price line continues through the only surviving daughter of Thomas Rees Price. Mary Price was the fourth child born to Thomas Rees Price and Ann "Annie" Maria Richards. On October 17, 1905 she married Benjamin Franklin Orr in Knoxville, Tennessee. Benjamin was a dentist who was from Jonesville, Virginia. Benjamin and Mary made their home in Knoxville, though they would later have homes in both Knoxville and Jonesville. On March 7, 1908 Benjamin and Mary had twin sons, Rees Price and James Wesley. Both boys were named after both their maternal and paternal grandfathers (Thomas Rees Price and James Wesley Orr). In the 1940's Benjamin and Mary divorced. She married a man named Bruce "Bill" Williams. Mary died on September 26, 1965 in Knoxville, Tennessee. She is buried in the family plot of her father, Thomas Rees Price, in Old Gray Cemetery.
