Jessie Walker Pryor, MD – A Woman Doctor

Ancestry has been adding more school yearbooks. I found Jessie Walker Pryor, a young lady who had graduated with an M.D. from the University of Texas in 1920. She is on the 1920 Census in Galvaston, Ward 1… recorded as a roomer and a student at the medical college.  I was able to find her again in 1900 because of another enhancement on Ancestry. The past versions of the 1900 Census were at times illegible. The newer, clearer version on Ancestry shows Miss Pryor in living with her parents in Caldwell County, TX. Her father was born in Tennessee. Can we match this line up to their TN Roots?
