Elizabeth Pryor, dau., of Hon John Pryor. Shirley pointed that out to
me.
Thank you, Robert for the help you give to all of us! I appreciate
all of those records, some of which I had. The new ones are very
interesting. I'll bet ole Sarah Johnson Womack had their household
packed up all of the time!
