I’m not clear on who Mary J. Price’s parents were from the marriage record. She died in the 1890 & I have yet to find a death record but as records at that time were rather vague, I doubt it would give better information. Now if they had a child, maybe his records would lend a clue. Update Dec 2020: A son, Merryman Fleming Poff m. Maude Conner in 1920 Floyd Co., VA when mother’s maiden name not usually given, but he married again in 1959 & gave his parents as Sam Poff & Mary King. But Mary J. Price did give status as single so who knows.
