    2. Walt, Here is what the 1880 history book has to offer. It is from the village of Eldara in Derry Township. I do not have the cemetery books for the township. Nothing in the plat book. William H. Pryor, farmer, sec. 19; a native of Tenn; was born Nov. 112, 1832, came to Pike county in the fall of 1838, and settled in Derry township, and has resided here ever since. Nov. 22, 1855 he married Susan E. Moyer, and they children are, Delphina, Mary l., Martha e., Henry D., Ollie, Isaac and Wilbert.
