Hi Gary - Since we had decided that Asham Prince and Price Asham ( Isham, Ashim) are the one and the same, I found James McKillip's thesis on Norway House:
http://www.ruor.uottawa.ca/bitstream/10 ... thesis.pdf
He mentions "Price Isham" and also "Huggy Isham" who I think is a nickname for Price Isham based on the Norway House Debt records:

“Kishecaethin, Huggemowappew [Price Isham], Thomas Isham, Wm. Leask [father-in-law of Price Isham?], Mantootackoos [brother-in-law of Thomas Isham]” were listed in that order in the Norway House Debt List. (PAM, HBCA, B.154/d/3b, p. 36, Norway House Account Book, 1816/1817, kept by James Kirkness, mf. 1M541).

In the spring of 1832, “Hoggee” [Price Isham] was sent from the post “with Supplies of ammunition to Curly Heads party at the Grand Rapid and to bring back their winter hunts.” In September 1832, “Curly Head and his Sons went off to the Grand Rapids after getting their winter Supplies” and in March 1833, “Sent Hoggee and Custatag off towards Moose Lake to look after Curly Heads band with supplies of Ammunition, and to bring home the few furs they might have collected in course of the winter. They returned in April “with 170 Made Beaver in Furs.” from the Frontier School DivisionSocial Studies/Native Studies Department.

Thanks again Heather.
I’m still working on that update. Looks like it will take me another day or so to compose it properly – will let you know when I post it.

I have created a new Family Page for our Price ASHAM at this link:
PRICE ISHAM aka ASHAM (1789-1833+)

I have moved your last posting to that Forum Topic, so please continue discussions there. I will soon remove this ASHAM PRINCE page as well as this Forum Topic.

Sorry for the confusion.
