Census Mistake in Jackson County, TN
BIG UPDATE for Jackson County Pryors. It’s been discovered that several Pryors were recorded as “Price” on the 1860 Census in Jackson County, that includes Alfred Pryor born 1805 in SC. Follow the link from TN CENSUS to the 1860 Census. I heard from researchers who are trying to confirm that Surena Elizabeth Pryor and Margaret Pryor who married Anderson men are daughters of Alfred Pryor. Both women and their families are on the Dent Co., MO census by 1900.
Nancy Pryor and Robert Nelson
Located NANCY PRYOR wife of ROBERT NELSON on the 1870 Census in Webster Co., KY. Nancy and her husband were on the 1850 Census in Overton Co., TN and Nancy and her children were in Iron Co., MO by 1880. Her whereabouts in 1860 is not yet known.
Elijah Pryor From TN to MO to CA
TN PRYOR PROJECT — * Updated ELIJAH W. PRYOR who was counted on the 1850 Census in Bates Co., MO. Possilby related to other Pryors in the area who came from White Co., TN. Elijah is probably the same man who was counted on the 1860 Census in Mendocino Co., CA. He is on the 1880-1900 Census in Vernon Co., MO again living near kin of White Co. Pryors.
Peter and Green Pryor of Williamson County, TN
* Added PETER and GREEN PRYOR from Williamson Co., TN. A history of these brothers has been added to HISTORIES section of TN Pryors. Melody Pryor turned up a Congressional Bill that mentions these men. Green Pryor was seeking relief from a bad 1818 land deal in Claiborne Co., MS. The Bill can be viewed on the Libary of Congress website. I also heard from Dee Dee Rypka who had uncovered a 1818 Deed in St. Louis, MO for the purchase of land by Peter and Green Pryor.
* More Williamson County Pryors… LUKE PRYOR and his siblings SARAH and SUSANNAH. These Pryors were probably born in SC and do not appear related to Peter and Green Pryor who came from VA.
* Also added… SIR PRYOR, an African American born 1808 in TN. He was counted in 1850 living in Anderson Co., TN.
