VIRGINIA: Searching for Pryor Ancestors

Recently the search for the Virginia ancestry of the Tennessee Pryor familes has led to discoveries of connections through their allied lines. Two MS Excel files have been created and will be posted for a time on this website. The Excel format was chose so that researcher may download the files and experiment with the SORT function for manipulating data.


About the files...There are two MS Excel files. One file is of the connected names, dates, location and a corresponding document number in which the data was found.

Connections... You may find some remarkable connections. If you do please email the website so it can be shared! Here are a few connections that have already been discovered:
