Celebration Sunday~Genealogy Happy Dance!

You know the dance. You know you've done it. The one every researcher does after finding something new. The one where you want to jump up and down and shout to everyone around that you found the document, contacted a cousin who has the family Bible, made a DNA connection or found a whole new branch to your tree. The one that is met with glazed stares and eye rolls.
                                                          Celebration Sunday is a place to share your discoveries. 
This is a weekly series to enable everyone to tell about their Genealogy Happy Dance moment. This can be done by scrolling down and adding your story to the comments section. You may also put a link to a blog post.

Surname Saturday~Price

 My maternal Great Grand Mother was Beulah Mae (Price) Roberts (1887-1980). She was the daughter of Bertrand Campbell Price and (1876-after 1922) and Bessie Mae Eargle (1878-1943) and was born in Bath, Aiken, South Carolina. Cam Price disappeared without a trace in 1922. Who his father was is still unproven.
  Edmond Sterling Price (abt.1880-before 1870) was a planter in Richland County, South Carolina. He was the father of several children. He first married Elizabeth (Jamison) Price (birth and death unknown) and then Christine (Boyer) Price (1810-[?]).  Adam Price (1847- 1927) was a 4-year-old living with Edmond in 1850 and is said by some to be Campbell's father. 
 A search of census records does not show Campbell in the household of an Adam but in that of a D.W. Price and a Daniel Price. There is a Daniel Price, who is the son of Edmond Sterling Price. Could this be the same Daniel? 

 Was Campbell, the son of Adam or Daniel? 

  Unraveling the men of the Price family is a project that hopefully will lead to who was Beulah Mae's Granddaddy.
