DR. JOHN LEWIS PRICE was born April 20 1835, in Nicholasville, Ky., and was taken, in 1837, by his parents, to Clark County; in 1845 to Newcastle; in 1848 again to Clark, and in 1859 to Mercer County, where he has since resided. His father, Dr. Andrew B. Price, was born in 1802, in Richmond, Ky. He graduated at Transylvania University and enjoyed an extensive practice. He was a Democrat, lost twelve slaves by the late war, and died August 3, 1873. He was the son of Moses Price, who was born near Richmond, Va., and came to Kentucky previous to 1800; was high sheriff, held office fifty years, was a merchant, farmer and slave owner, and died about 1853, aged over ninety years. He married Sarah Broadus, and their offspring were John, Andrew B., Thomas, Arjalon, Morton, Sarah (Daniel), Mrs. Childs, Ms. Scott, Lucy (Scott) and Amelia (Poor). These brothers were all physicians. Andrew B. married Evelyne E., daughter of Shastine and Nancy (Duncan) Watkins, of Clark County (born in 1806, now living), and from this union sprang Dr. Dillard S., Catherine (Calk), Dr. John L., Dr. Ansil D. Lucy (Smedley, deceased), and Evelyne E. (Buck). June 13, 1861, Dr. John Lewis Price married Miss Anna T., daughter of Nelson and Lucy (Vivian) Keas, of Mercer County (born in Montgomery County, June 14, 1834), and to them have been born Isaac N. K. (deceased) and John F. In 1857 the Doctor commenced the study of medicine with his uncle, Dr. John L. Price, of Independence, Mo.; attended one course of lectures at McDowell College, St. Louis, and graduated in 1869, in the medical department of the University of Louisville, since which time he has been successfully engaged in practice. He also owns a valuable farm of 170 acres on the Lexington Turnpike. Nelson Keas was born in 1797, and died September 19, 1866. His wife, Lucy (Vivian) Keas, was born in 1803, and died March 10, 1876. Their children are Isaac, Anna T. (Price) and Albert H. Dr. Price is a Democrat and a prohibitionist.
