     Rev. Jacob Price was born in January 1765 at Washington Twp., Franklin Co., PA, Wanger lists Jacob Price before his brother John Price, gives "1765" as birth year for Jacob Price, and "Jan. 1765" for his brother John. It is possible they both were born within the same year, eleven or so months apart, it is also possible they were twins (and of course it is possible that one or both were born in a different year). Will list as twins born in January until better information is found. DLB 2008.¹
