James Bane Price (called \"Gentleman Jim\") was born on November 23, 1832, the son of Henry David Price, Jr., and Anna Marie/Mary. He married Sarah Jane Winston in 1867, and they had six children: Lula Belle (b. 1869), Samuel Winston (b. 1871), Maud (b. 1875), Daisy Winston (b. 1883), Ferdinand (died young) and Clara Bane (b. 1885).","It is unknown exactly when Price's general store was established, but tax records indicate that the store was built around 1871. (The oldest account book in this collection dates from 1871, but it refers in its first pages to an \"old book.\") It appears from the account ledgers that Price was not only a supplier of food and goods, but also of credit, as most of the transactions were made through either credit or barter. In addition to grocery products, Price sold such items as clothing, shoes, tobacco, coal, tools, and drugs. While operating as a merchant, Price also engaged in other business and in farming.","Price operated the store until his death in January 1896, after which the store was placed in the hands of his son, Samuel, who leased the store to others. In 1913, the property passed to the hands of Lula Belle, the first of J. B. Price's daughters. The store was later bequeathed by Lula to her niece Ethel Meisel (Daisy's daughter), and Ethel eventually sold the \"home place property\" (including the store) to Walter L. and Patricia Givens Johnson. The store closed many years ago, but the building is still standing today (2003) and is rented as a residence to Virginia Tech students.","Sources:","The James Bane Price Country Store at Price's Fork, Montgomery County, Virginia.[Prices Fork, VA: P.

The books contain account information for a number of prominent local individuals during the late nineteenth century. (Note: Though all of the ledgers are from the same business, one of the older books is signed \"M. S. Price,\" while another bears the inscription \"M. S. Price and Helvey.\" Furthermore, the entries in the last daybook were made following Price's death and may be attributable to Samuel Price, who operated the store after his father's death.)","The daybooks provide detailed information of Price's daily transactions and the variety of goods sold in the store. The notations include date, customer name, quantity and prices of products purchased, and transaction total.

James Bane Price (called \"Gentleman Jim\") was born on November 23, 1832, the son of Henry David Price, Jr., and Anna Marie/Mary. He married Sarah Jane Winston in 1867, and they had six children: Lula Belle (b. 1869), Samuel Winston (b. 1871), Maud (b. 1875), Daisy Winston (b. 1883), Ferdinand (died young) and Clara Bane (b. 1885).","It is unknown exactly when Price's general store was established, but tax records indicate that the store was built around 1871. (The oldest account book in this collection dates from 1871, but it refers in its first pages to an \"old book.\") It appears from the account ledgers that Price was not only a supplier of food and goods, but also of credit, as most of the transactions were made through either credit or barter. In addition to grocery products, Price sold such items as clothing, shoes, tobacco, coal, tools, and drugs. While operating as a merchant, Price also engaged in other business and in farming.","Price operated the store until his death in January 1896, after which the store was placed in the hands of his son, Samuel, who leased the store to others. In 1913, the property passed to the hands of Lula Belle, the first of J. B. Price's daughters. The store was later bequeathed by Lula to her niece Ethel Meisel (Daisy's daughter), and Ethel eventually sold the \"home place property\" (including the store) to Walter L. and Patricia Givens Johnson. The store closed many years ago, but the building is still standing today (2003) and is rented as a residence to Virginia Tech students.","Sources:","The James Bane Price Country Store at Price's Fork, Montgomery County, Virginia.[Prices Fork, VA: P.

They moved there and lived at first in the old Trigg house. Later, they built Kentland mansion, which stands to this day.

In 1855, construction began on a resort at Montgomery White Sulphur Springs, a hotel that later served as a hospital during the American Civil War. In 1860, James Randal Kent became a founder of the Preston and Olin Institute, a Methodist school in Blacksburg that was the predecessor to present day Virginia Tech. He was among the wealthiest men in Montgomery County with an estimated wealth of $196,000.","During the Civil War, Kent was a staunch supporter of the Confederacy and slavery, and he enslaved more than 100 people at the start of the war. He served as an organizer for the Confederate Army, as well as a supplier of foodstuffs, providing grain and beef to the Confederate Army all the way up to the day Gen. Robert E.

Though Kentland survived the war, many barns and out-buildings were burned, including the plantation office with the majority of Kent's personal papers, and in 1867 his land was valued at 41% less than it had been in 1860.
