I just received a package of photos today from a distant Pryor cousin in Texas. How distant? She’s a grand-daughter of my great-grandmother’s sister. Yikes, that’s pretty distant! She was nice enough, and trusting enough, to send me a treasure trove of photos to scan. It’s wild! There are 6 to 8 tin photos of from the 1870’s… photos of the daughter’s of Allen L. Pryor of Gallatin, TN and some unidentified people. I’m scanning them and sending these back to her. My plan is to get them up on the TN Pryor website so we can see who can be identified. They’ve already made the rounds (as photocopies) between several Pryor researchers, so many of them are now tentatively idenitified. Several of the photos are of whole family groups around 1895, shortly before they left Sumner County for Farmersville, TX.
Let the identity game begin! Who are these folks?
(02/22/07) ANSWER… This is probably Ann Eliza Pryor born 1846 to Allen L. Pryor of Sumner County, TN. Her husband was Joshua Anderson Simmons. They lived in TN and in Collin County, TX, and later in Cotton County, OK.
