As you may have guessed, I have been researching this part of the Poythress family. Earlier I gave you a brief synopsis on Roger Atkinson Pryor, Agnes's grandson. For any one who has interest in the distant cousins, here is a web site I found today on Roger's granddaughter: She was the daughter of Roger's daughter, Marie Gordon, "Gordoness", and was an author, who wrote under the name Blair Niles. Her full maiden name was Mary Blair Rice. She died in 1959. R. Bolling Batte doesn't list the first marriage, but I am aware of it from family members. I believe there was some kind of scandal with other women that ended her first marriage, but do read about Mary Blair Beebe Niles' first marriage at dawn at her mother's plantation.
