Opinion of researcher Curt Sytsma[]
Researcher Curt Sytsma believes that Benjamin's father was Benjamin.
- Theories that Millicent's husband, Benjamin PRICE, was a son of Thomas and Keturah (MERRYMAN), of the son of Mordecai and Mary (__), fill the Internet and even some prestigious publications. [This theory is] not proven, and . . . appear[s] to be false. --Curt Sytsma

He testified: "I personally know Christopher Price, John Price, Benjamin Price, sons, and Rachel Carr, a daughter of Benjamin Price of Baltimore, as they told me. . . I have written letters for them to Millicent Price, the wife of Benjamin Price, who was their mother and received letters in answer assuring me [that they were] the identical heirs of said Benjamin Price." He further stated that he did not know the other children of Benjamin and Millicent personally "but was told by those above named that the family consisted of nine children, viz: Rachel Carr, Thomas Price, Mordecai Price, Edith Busby, Malinda Wheeler, Benjamin Price, Guess [Gist] Price, Christopher Price, and John Price, which was confirmed by the letters received from Millicent Price, their mother."
