Increase in Prices

Five children of David and Agnes (Hoffmann) Preisch of Offenbach (Landau), in Rheinland Pfalz, Germany, sailed from Rotterdam in the Winter Gallery, arriving in Philadelphia on 5 September 1737. Anna Margaretha, Johan Michael, J. Henry, Augustine, and Daniel Preisch were settled in southwestern Virginia by mid-1700s. Some of them stayed in Virginia, while others moved on to other locations. This volume is a compilation of descendants of these five siblings, whose surname changed to Preisch to Price and who became the progenitors of a great number of Prices throughout the United States.
