The Baumann family is intertwined with my family several ways. The family begins with William Baumann and Catherine Schneider.

Their second child, William Frederick, was the husband of Mary Ella Roberts (daughter of Edward Roberts and Ann Price). Their eighth child, Lovinia Rachel, married Thomas Price Roberts, brother of Mary Ella Roberts (son of Edward Roberts and Ann Price).

Price-Galbraith family

The Price family joined the Galbraith family with the marriage of Elizabeth Price (daughter of Abraham "Abram" Jones Price and Annie Richards) to Joseph John Galbraith in 1907. I was given this picture of Elizabeth "Bess" by someone, though I cannot remember who (I lost the e-mail and picture through a crashed hard drive, but had saved the picture to my Dad's computer). I found out about them by the fact that they had the other half of a cemetery section that my great-great-grandmother, Ann Richards Price, had purchased. I would love to see more pictures of them and learn more about them in my continued search for my family.

They took up residence in Danville, Montour County, Pennsylvania. After he retired from working he moved south to Knoxville, Knox County, Tennessee (where his sons and one daughter lived). I know more about the sons of this family, but I do somewhat know about one of the daughters. I have yet to learn what happened to the other.

Robert Gourley family

My great-grandfather is Robert "Bob" Gourley. He was born in Blount County, TN. He married Ellen Caroline Butler. After his marriage I know that they lived in Rafter, Monroe County, TN. We do not have a picture of Bob, though I would love to be able to find one. He is buried near their homeplace in Rafter. We do not know exactly where he is buried, but we know the general area. I am unsure if the grave is even marked. I was also told that there was a baby or small child also buried with him. In the 1900 Census Ellen is listed as having 5 of 6 children living. There is a space of six years between the first two children where there could have been another child. I am still trying to investigate this to see if I can learn more.

Joseph J. Price

Joseph J. Price was born in January 1879 in Knoxville, Tennessee. His parents are Thomas Rees Price and Ann (Annie) Maria Richards. Both Thomas and Annie were born in Pennsylvania. You can learn more about them in my earlier post (link). Joseph went to the University of Tennessee, I believe. He was listed as a former fraternity member, though I cannot remember which one at the moment. After his father died in 1906, Joseph continued to work in the furniture company (Knoxville Furniture Company). In the 1910 census Joseph (or Joe) was still living with his mother. I am not sure when, but between 1910-1920 Joseph left Knoxville. The story my father told me was that Joe had left to escape running the family business. He headed west and only contacted his family a couple of times later. There also is the possibility that he changed his name.
