Having a lot of trouble with the too-common name. My John Roberts, Jr. born abt 1808 in MO or IL married Lucinda Adams/Gatlin. John died February 1890, age 82, near Poco, Pope Co IL. His daughter Lucinda born abt 1844 IL, died 10-8-1924 IL, married Francis Marion English PRYOR on 4-21-1864 in Massac Co IL. He died in Civil War 8-6-1864 in the Battle of Atlanta. She then remarried Newton A. HOUSE 10-8-1872 in Massac Co. Another daughter John's married a PRYOR. Mary Ann (Mollie/Polly) Roberts born abt 1841 (some say 1-10-1842) IL and died 3-3-1916 IL/ARK. She had previously married Benjamin F. Woodward, he died in Civil War. Then she married my direct line, Daniel Risinger PRYOR, on 12-28-1862. I am trying to learn more about the Roberts' and to see if the Roberts' and Pryor's knew each other before coming to IL. My Pryor's were in Livingston Co KY, in Louisville KY around the time Louisville was first founded, and a little later in Jefferson Co (the portion which became Henry Co and Shelby Co). I don't know of any other counties or locations for KY. Before coming to KY, the Pryor's were in VA, county unknown. Other families involved were TANNERs. If you see any connection, please let me know. Otherwise, I will hold onto your information and keep looking for a possible connection. Thanks much.
