Born c.1745, Margaret Price died during the second year of the American Revolutionary War, "in ye 32nd year of her age".
Her brown sandstone stele, which has German "Fraktur"-inspired tulips in its tympanum, was created in the Elizabethtown workshop of master craftsman Ebenezer Price, and may be the work of his apprentice David Jeffries. Although the epitaph portion of its inscription is now illegible, it appears in among the transcriptions of Elizabeth burial grounds made in 1892 by William Ogden Wheeler and Edmund D. Halsey.
