Life
Price was the son of John Price of Knighton, then in Radnorshire, by his second marriage to Elizabeth Chace of Hadwall, Hertfordshire (died 1753), sister of Sir Richard Chace.[1]
He was educated at Christ Church, Oxford, where he matriculated on 24 November 1749 at the age of eighteen, and then at the Inner Temple. He was called to the bar in 1757.[2]
He was Member of Parliament for Leominster from 1759 to 1767, and for Radnorshire from 1769 to 1777.[2]
On 21 March 1765 Price married Susan Glanville, daughter of William Evelyn Glanville, of St Clere in Kent, by his second wife Bridget Raymond.[2] Their daughter Sarah Bridget Frances Price, born in 1767, married Bamber Gascoyne (senior).
His brother Richard Price of Norton Manor, Knighton (died 1797), married Margaret Humphreys of Pennant, Montgomeryshire (died 1788), only daughter and heiress of Dr Charles Humphreys, and had issue. Richard's son Richard Price (1773–1861) became MP for Radnor from 1799 to 1847.[3]
By his father's first marriage to Anne Barnsley of Knighton, only daughter and heiress of John Barnsley, he was the half-brother of John Price (died 1780), Barrister from The Lodge, Clerk of Chancery at Leominster, unmarried, and of Henry Price (1722–1795), married in 1770 to Elizabeth Foley, daughter of Captain Thomas Foley, and had female issue.[1]
