Price – John Price married Nancy Anna Albert on 2 May 1810 in Washington County, Maryland. She was the daughter of Johann Peter Albert and Anna Walpurgis Hoerner. Her family were originally from Niklashausen, Main-Tauber-Kreis, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The parentage of John Price is unconfirmed, but DNA has shown he is connected to a Price family originally from Germany, not an English or Welsh family as many have assumed. John Price’s brother John Jacob (Johann Jacob) Price married Christiana C. Albert in Washington County, Maryland on 2 May 1810. DNA has also shown that they had at least two other siblings, a brother named George Price and a sister named Elizabeth Price. George Price married 18 January 1800 in Hagerstown, Washington, Maryland to Susannah Zilhart. Elizabeth Price married 25 January 1820 in Washington County, Maryland to John Wolfkill. Other clues that the Price family was of German origin are that Elizabeth Price and husband John Wolfkill were buried in the Mount Zion Mennonite Church Cemetery in Funktown, Washington County, Maryland, as well as the fact that John, John Jacob (Johann Jacob), George, and Elizabeth all married spouses of German families. I originally thought that Christiana C. Albert and Nancy Anna Albert were sisters, but there were a few Albert families in Washington County, Maryland, and a baptism record for her shows her of different parentage.

Then to Utica, Oneida County New York, and Mexico Township, Oswego County, New York. My Prindle/Greatsinger 3rd great-grandparents migrated from New York to Scioto Township, Pickaway County, Ohio. See Greatsinger, Doman, and Cole.
Propheter – My 4th great-grandmother Margaretha Propheter was born in Klingenmünster, Südliche Weinstraße, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. She was the daughter of Johann Jacob Propheter and Anna Margaretha Weinmann. She married Johann Georg Fried on 12 September 1820 in Bad Bergzabern, Südliche Weinstraße, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Johann Georg Fried was the son of Johannes (Johann Adam) Fried and Anna Barbara Ohl. The Propheter./Weinmann/Fried/Ohl families were all from in and around Klingenmünster and are found there in church records for several generations. I have Propheter DNA matches in Germany.
My 3rd great-grandmother Margaretha Maria (Mary) Fried was born 25 April 1819 in Klingenmünster. She was the daughter of Johann Georg Fried and Margaretha Propheter. She married Henry (Heinrich) Weiss, who was also from Klingenmünster. He was the son of Georg Peter Weiss and Juliana Kaiser. The Weiss/Kaiser and related lines are also found in church records in and around Klingenmünster for several generations.
Margaretha Maria (Mary) Fried and Henry (Heinrich) Weiss immigrated to the USA and settled in Hamilton County, Ohio. My line continues with their daughter, my 2nd great-grandmother, Margaret (Margarethe) Weiss, who was born 23 June 1846 in Klingenmünster, Germany. She married 3 March 1870 in Hamilton County, Ohio, to Elias “Eli” Wegt. Elias “Eli” Wegt who was born in Rawicz, Wielkopolskie, Poland.
