Documents 
Text Extract - Dictionary of the Miramichi Biography - Richard P Price
As contained at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick - pg. 827
Son of Rev. Walter Price and Mary Woods; married Abigail Hove, daughter of Aaron Hovey and Dorothy Price.
References that he is one of three sons of Walter Price, although other records certainly reference more sons. Notes that his father, Rev. Walter Price, resigned from pastoral duties in 1799 before being elected as an MLA in 1802.
Richard was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1813 and a parish school trustee in 1817. He held a number of local appointments and was employed as a farmer and lumberer. Price and Abigail had 11 children and his position as magistrate and school trustee was taken by older brother John on his death.
* notes state that Royal Gazette death notice states he was born in Devonshire, England but researches contend his father was stationed in Newfoundland from 1783.
* additional reference to a curse on Price family that would cause the children to marry first cousins - and indeed five of the ten children that lived to adulthood did so.

Notes - From Canada's Historic Places: Aaron Senior's son (Aaron, II whom is not a direct ancestor and also named his son Aaron) moved to Ludlow before 1809
(https://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=13982)
The relevant excerpt reads:
"The first resident of this home was Aaron Hovey Jr., who settled in this area prior to 1809 along with his pre-Loyalist parents and siblings. This place was the second home to be constructed for Aaron Hovey Jr. on this site and is a very elaborate home to be constructed at this time, a reflection of his prominence within the region, taking two years to build."
