In The Land Laws of Tennessee published in 1891 states the following act in 1824.
“An act to legalize the official acts of the surveyor of Marion County. Whereas in the appointment of the surveyor of Marion County, at the last session of the General Assembly, a mistake was made in the name of said surveyor, by calling him Samuel C. Pryor, instead of Samuel N. Pryor.”
Samuel N. Pryor is recorded on the 1830 Census in McNairy Co., TN. This entry in the annals of Tennessee is a further link to tie Samuel N. Pryor to Marion Co., TN.
