After his father-in-law died in 1813, Price became a co-owner of Tatnall's milling operations, along with brothers-in-law Thomas Lea and Edward Tatnall and Tatnall relative James Canby. Price later became the first president of the Union Bank of Delaware. He also served as a director of three railroads that together built the first rail link from Philadelphia to Baltimore: the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad, the Delaware and Maryland Railroad, and the Wilmington and Susquehanna Railroad. His service is noted on the 1839 Newkirk Viaduct Monument. In 1837, he became the second president of the W&S, after James Canby resigned. Price died in 1840. (en) |
