Illinois: History of Cass County, Illinois, ed. William Henry Perrin. O. L. Baskin & Co. Historical Publishers, Chicago, 1882. Cass County. ADAM PRICE (deceased), one of the first settlers of Cass County, was a son of Adam and Elizabeth (Miller) Price, and was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, in Rockingham county, in August, 1803. Here he lived until about thirty-two years of age. In 1833 he married Miss Susan Rosenberger, and came to Cass County the same year. He was the first emigrant, direct to Cass County, from the Old Dominion State. He first located in Morgan County, near Arcadia, and remained there until his removal to Virginia Precinct, in 1853, settling on section 28. He raised a family of three sons and four daughters; five of his offspring having died in infancy. Of these, William T., and Adam C., are still residents of Cass County. William T. was born Nov. 6, 1839. In 1861, he entered the Union army, and was mustered in at Springfield, and assigned to the 114th Ill. Vol. Infantry Co. D. The regiment did valiant services in the department of the lower Mississippi, and was engaged in several lively battles, including the forty days' campaign before Vicksburg. Mr. Price was taken prisoner at Grand Tower, Miss., June 10, 1864, and confined at Andersonville, Millen, and Florence prisons, for about eight months, and finally paroled in February, 1865. He was then furloughed for thirty days, reported again to his regiment, and received his discharge at the expiration of his term of enlistment, Aug. 13, 1865. Mr. Price was married Dec. 29, 1860, to Miss Rachel Augusta Marshall, daughter of William Marshall (deceased). Mr. Marshall was also one of the early pioneers of Cass County, and located and owned at one time a large landed estate, a portion of which Mr. Price now owns and lives upon. James Marshall, Sen., and father of William Marshall, came to Cass County as early as 1825, from Kentucky, and was a native of Woodford County. Mrs. Price is the eldest of her father's family; Miss Jennie M. was next, and Louise W. (deceased 1863), was the third. William T. Price is an active, industrious, and successful farmer, as is his next younger brother, Adam C. Price, who was born in May 16, 1844, in Morgan County. He was the third child of the family, attended the common schools of Cass, and commenced farming for himself at twenty years of age. He married Miss Ruth Bacon, daughter of Ira Bacon, a farmer of Arcadia, Morgan Co., in November, 1864. Mr. Bacon is a native of Connecticut, married Ann Christie, a native of the Empire State. Mrs. Price is the oldest of the family of eight children. Mr. and Mrs. Adam Price have eleven children, as follows: Ann, Thomas, Edwin, Harry, Minnie, Della, Adam, Frederick, Bertie, Archie, and Mary.
