He was a first cousin of Confederate General Sterling Price, 11th Governor of Missouri.
Thomas H. Price graduated from Harvard and before 1858 began the practice of law in Brunswick, Chariton County, Missouri, where his cousin Sterling Price lived (ref., The History of the Bench and Bar of Missouri, 1898, by A. J. D. Stewart, p. 500). On Nov. 20, 1858, Sterling Price and Thomas H. Price served on the board of directors of the first railroad in the county (ref., History of Chariton and Howard Counties, Missouri, 1883, p.564).
Crimson Confederates: Harvard Men who Fought for the South, by Helen P. Trimpi, p.244, mistakenly refers to Maj. Thomas H. Price of Selma, Mobile, and Bandera, as the eldest son of Gen. Sterling Price. Some family trees on the internet incorrectly show Gen. Sterling Price with two additional wives and 15 children, though he had just one wife, the mother of his only seven children, and he had no son Thomas.
Amoreeena (#47756441) wrote: "Susan Elizabeth Almond was the first wife of Thomas Henry Price. Thomas & Susan married on 2 November, 1854 (1 year after Thomas graduated from Harvard Law School) in Prince Edward County, Virginia where they were both born.
They had two children together, Leida “Ida” Price (1855-1886) & William Clement Price (1860-1942).
Both children were born in Brunswick, Chariton County, Missouri.
Susan’s date & place of death have yet to be determined.
"Thomas Henry Price married a second time on 1 Aug 1872 in Dallas County, Alabama to Martha Elizabeth Byrd Purnell (1841-1914), widow of John Mitchell Purnell (1838-1861).
Together Thomas & Martha Byrd Purnell would have four daughters."
During the Civil War, Thomas H. Price was a munitions expert serving at the munitions plant in Selma, Alabama, where he probably met his wife, Martha Byrd. They later settled in Mobile where he practiced law. In 1874 he purchased the home of Alexander Auld, built circa 1830 (or 1830-40) at 1407 Government Street, said to be the oldest house remaining on Government Street and the oldest in Mobile west of Broad Street.
He and his wife afterwards moved to Texas, leaving their daughter Emmie D. Price Pillans the Government Street house in Mobile.
The Huntsville Weekly Democrat, March 14, 1883:

"Maj. Thos. H. Price, a prominent lawyer of Mobile, died at Bandera, Texas, on the 24th ult. Maj. Price represented Mobile County in the Alabama Legislature for several terms since the war, and was one of the ablest lawyers in the State."
