I am continuing my Price family line from the previous post. My line continues from Jonathan and Elizabeth Price through their ninth child, Thomas Rees Price. Thomas was born August 26, 1851 in Danville, PA. He started working in coal mines, but later left that profession to pursue cabinet making. In the early 1870's he moved from Pennsylvania to Knoxville, TN. In 1874 he married Ann Maria "Annie" Richards in Knoxville. They had four children, though two died in infancy. In 1880 Thomas started the Knoxville Furniture Company of which he held the office of President for the company until his death in 1906. Thomas also held many other positions in the Knoxville area, i.e. an incorporator and Director of the Knoxville, LaFollette and Jellico Railroad, Vice-President of the Logan-Maphet Lumber Company, and was a Director of two area banks.
