To William Price was deeded by his parents, July 12, 1787, the old homestead and 165 acres of land in three tracts, for 1400 pounds; one tract with the buildings contained 120 acres; another adjacent, containing 8 acres was on the Upper Salford side of the township line and the third, also adjacent, contained 37 acres. (Vidi Deed Book 16, page 5.)
On Aug. 2, 1790 he purchased from Catharine Greenleaf, widow, and Samuel Morris and his wife Rebecca, 131 acres and 26 perches, the other 10 acres and 4 perches, for 1015 pounds (Vidi D. B. No. 5, page 405), part of this was in and on both sides of the Branch Creek. On the same day in 1790 the same grantors conveyed to Jacob Alderfer 25 acres and 100 perches and two years later, May 28, 1792 the latter and his wife Elizabeth granted the same tract to William Price.
He afterward sold the 37 acre tract to Jacob Kolp for 222 pounds (Vidi D. B. 6 p. 574) and on April 27, 1791, conveyed the 10 acre and 4 perch tract to his father for 90 punds (Vidi D.B. 9, p.208).
He built the first saw-mill on the property, says Heckler; he purchased a water right, dug the race and built a dam in his brother John's meadow in 1790 and received a deed from him dated Aug. 24th of that year, for a consideration of 8 shillings (Vidi D. B. 16, p. 1). He also received another deed from John, dated Sept. 24, 1791 for 76 perches of land for and in consideration of 2 pounds, 5 shillings or 6 Spanish Dollars (Not recorded).
He took an active part in the affairs of the township, being one of the Auditors in 1784, 1786, 1787, 1788, 1792 and then every year until 1804.
William Price died intestate and at an Orphan's Court held at an Orphan's Court held at Norristown, Nov. 18, 1811, his property then consisting of 283 acres, with buildings, improvements, valued at $14,716 was confirmed to his oldest son Jacob, although he was not yet of legal age.
The old burying ground on the property was a part of the 120 acre tract and in order to dedicate it to such uses and to set it apart, William Price gave the following deed to his father:
