Sir Charles Price, 1st Baronet

He was sent to the city of London, at a young age under the care of an uncle, who lived on Snow Hill.

Price was a rum and brandy merchant and shipowner with four vessels involved in South Sea whaling.

On the 16th December 1773, at St Michael's, Burleigh Street, Westminster, he married Mary Rugge, with whom he obtained a considerable fortune.

As a legislator, he seldom or ever spoke in parliament, but, like his colleague, Sir William Curtis, was a strenuous admirer, and constant supporter of Pitt's administration.

He was also a magistrate, Colonel of the Fifth Regiment of Volunteers, Governor of the tackle-house and ticket-porters and president of the Commercial Traveller's Society.
