He put in the nxt twenty years at his trade, but kept in touch with the American contingent of his family -- parents and brothers and sisters who had migrated in the spring of 1821.

In 1840 Thomas Hughes of the Welsh Hills, Brother-in-law of Edward Price's wife returned to Wales on business.

They reached Utica, N.Y., July 4, 1840, the 68th birthday fo the head of the house, and the year of the presidential election of William Henry Harrison of :log cabin and hard cider" frame.

Thomas Price II and family lived on the Edward Price farm on the Welsh Hills. He was also a weaver by trade, and followed it most of the time. Occasionally he helped on the farm, especially in harvest. He was a contented, happy man, active in the Baptist Church and Sunday School. In the autumn of 1849 tge Welsh Hills settlement was visited by an epidemic of "bloody-flu". Thomas Price II was carried off with it Sept. 7, 1849, and his wife Rachel, Oct. 13 of the same year, along with Deacon Williamsand the chilren of several Hills families.
