Thomas Henry PRICE

regiment and company uncertain, perhaps 103rd Illinois Volunteers

• b 11 Jul 1839 New Carlisle, Clark, OH
• m 1 Mar 1888 Flora Ann HILL (dau. of Wm. Roland HILL) Fulton Co., IL
• d 20 Feb 1929 Collbran, Mesa, CO
• The History of Fulton Co. IL lists a Thomas A. Brice on p. 742 which could be my Thomas Henry PRICE. He told his grandchildren that he served in the civil war as a drummer boy.
• He was in Fountain Co. Indiana in 1860 census but it is possible that he came to Illinois and enlisted.
• He also told his grandchildren that a congressman in Glenwood, CO was actively trying to get him a pension. He was a member of the GAR in Colorado. I have not tried to get a pension file for him because I do not think he ever received one but would like to find out if any of the lists associated with the 103rd Regiment has him named.
