RICHARD AND MOURNING PRYOR:  More Children?

These children were not named in the 1811 will of Richard Pryor.  They have been linked to Richard and  Mourning Pryor in numerous family trees charts and websites.


JAMES PRYOR -  James and Jonathan Pryor were living in Logan County, Kentucky at the time of the 1810 Census and later in Graves County, Kentucky.  Other than Mourning Pryor's appearance on the 1810 Census in Logan County, it is uncertain how these Pryors have been tied to the line of Richard and Mourning Pryor.

ELIZABETH PRYOR RAY/RHEA-  Information of Elizabeth Pryor is gleaned from several undocumented genealogies. One source she married Ezekiel Rhea and later Smith Hutchings.  Her son Ezekiel Rhea Jr. migrated to Missouri and is counted near the children of William Pryor who settled in Bates and Van Buren Counties. Both Elizabeth and her husband Ezekiel are reported to have died in White County, Tennessee.  I'm open to the possibility that Elizabeth is a grandchild rather than a child of Richard Pryor.

EVENTS 

b. 1792 in TN
md. Mr. Ray/Rhea/Wray
