Good news for Pryor researchers. Another TN Pryor line has been identified!
William Pryor who married Betsy Trammell has been long acknowledged as one of Austin’s Old 300, one of the group of settlers who migrated to Texas at the end of the 1820’s and two decades before the Mexican War. Information from researcher Betty Vaughn now connects the dots with documents to confirm that William is the same man who settled in Stewart County, TN in 1805.
While William has been identified there’s still the need to complete the family connections. William and his family left Tennessee for the Mississippi Territory (Clarke Co., AL) and then moved on to Texas. A James Pryor (probably William’s brother) and his wife Mary stayed in Stewart County. They and their kin were counted in subsequent years in both Stewart County and in Trigg Co., KY.
