Toulmin and Edmund Pendleton and daughters, Maria Pacheco

were educated. The family interest in education is clearly

established. The 2 brothers, sent to the school mentioned above,

were later sent to board at a teacher’s home some distance away.

Winters Price.2

GARRARD.2,24

Several sources have confused this Lucinda, Daniel’s daughter,

with T.T.’s daughter, Lucinda, b. 1835/36 who is Daniel’s

granddaughter. It is thought that the grandaughter was living

with her grandfather in 1850 while her father, T.T. was in CA

for the gold rush. Those in error include James Welch 1850

Census, and Early Families Eastern KY by William Kozee.

parents given. Theophilus Garrard also signed bond. It is

unknown how this family relates to the Garrards.30 If these are

children of Thomas McRoberts, it is unknown who has cared for

them in the 5 years since his death. It is thought that

guardian means financial responsibility rather than physical

care.

1836 Dec 22 KY Clay Co. In 2 transactions, for a total of $1000, received

1050 acres from Zachariah and Jesse Morgan.9

Price, Confederate Guerrilla soldier. He was imprisoned at Camp

Chase, OH on 10 Oct 1862. and died somewhere during war.26,27,28,

29 It is curious that Daniel, a Confederate sympathizer, didn’t

take action to have Robert designated an exchange prisoner or,

at least, return the body to KY. Daniel Price’s death and

burial have not been determined.

Unitarianism,perhaps through Mr. T. [Harry Toulmin] his Secretary

of State whose daughter was Gen. T.T.’s mother. [and Daniel

Garrard’s wife.]”17
