Historical Marker
    Little physical evidence remains of the family graveyard near this site that contains the burials of members of several early San Augustine families. The remaining historic tombstone, that of James H. C. Price, dates to 1852. James Price was the son of Col. Elijah Price (1791-1852) and Temperance Thomas Price (1805-1859), who came to San Augustine in the 1840s. Elijah Price was a prosperous planter and merchant; he and his wife are both buried in the cemetery, which, as was the custom, was located near the family home. Their son Albert married into the Slaughter family, and their daughter Cornelia married into the Sossaman family; hence, members of those two families are also interred in the Price family cemetery. (2001)
