William Price and his wife, Jane Stewart, had 14 children, seven daughters and seven sons, three of whom included William Evan Price, David Edward Price, and Evans John Price.[3] The family resided at the Wolfesfield (or Wolfe's Field) estate in Sillery, which Price had purchased in 1828.[2][3]

Price died at his Wolfesfield estate in 1867, and was buried at nearby Mount Hermon Cemetery.[4]
