According to Roberts' "Ancestors of the American Presidents" (AAP),
Edith Price''s ancestry in the Price line runs further:

Daniel PRICE = Elizabeth HUSSEY
Samuel PRICE = Ann MOORE
Mordecai PRICE II = Elizabeth WHITE
Mordecai PRICE I (c. 1660-1715) = Mary PARSONS

The Griffith-Edward III line is also given in AAP on pages 159-160.
