Heir-Raising: The Kin of Another Thornton Pryor

There are some mighty interesting cases available on the Library of Virginia website. I found a 1834 case titled Richard Clarke v. Samuel Pryor. The case was filed against Samuel Pryor, deceased who has been married to Martha. It names the following heirs.

1) Peggy Pryor, wife of Richard Clark (or Clarke). Another case states that Peggy died and left two “infant” children: Sally and Eliza Clark.
2) Fanny Pryor
3) Rebecca Pryor, wife of William A Underwood.
4) Martha W Pryor, wife of John M Drumwright (or Drumright)
5) Nancy Pryor, wife of Digrasse Drumright
6) William P Pryor
7) Samuel Thornton Pryor, deceased.

I had to take a look at the 1850 Census for Goochland County and was surprised to find two of the individuals still alive. Both Digrasse Drumright and John M Drumwright were still living in 1850. Martha W. Pryor Drumright (b. 1812) is the only one of these Pryor I found.
