A biography written by his grandson states:

"Price of whom we wish to write, joined the army of the Revolution in the year 1776. At the age 20 years, he served his Country faithfully under the leadership of the Immortal Washington for six years & seven months, taking part in the Battles of White Plains, Monmouth, Trenton, Brandywine, Sullivan's Campaign against the Indians in the Gennisse Country State of New York, he was also in a great many Skirmishes, and was at the Siege of Yorktown in the State of Virginia, and the Surrender of Lord Cornwallis with the British Troops, under him, which was virtually the closing of the War."

His service record shows that he spent the winter of 1777 – 78 at Valley Forge.

Price Thompson enlisted for the duration of the war on December 18, 1776 in Captain Noahdiah Wade's Company, 4th New Jersey Regiment, commanded by Ephraim Martin, Esq. This Company was later under the command of Captain Alexander Mitchell and in March of 1779 was transferred to the 1st New Jersey Regiment commanded by Colonel Matthias Ogden. He was discharged from the army in 1783 as a corporal.
