Hello fellow researchers: I am hoping to find someone that can assist me in locating an obituary for Robert Pinkney Pryor who died in Spartanburg, SC on Nov. 17, 1925. I have searched the online obit indexes and death indexes for him but can not locate him. His son, Jesse H. Pryor, was the informant on Robert's death certificate, stating Robert's parents were John Pryor and Liza Hord both born in NC. I have been unsuccessful in my attempts to locate John, Liza and Robert in the 1850 or 1860 census. Robert (sometimes going by Pink or Pinkney) was in Cleveland Co. NC in 1870 and in Spartanburg SC from 1880 until his death. He was in the Civil War and served in the 56th NC Info. Co. F. He was captured and sent to Point Lookout, MD and signed a loyalty oath to the Union and then served in Union Army as a Galvanized Yankee. I was told he was a drawing a pension from Cherokee county in 1917, but I really don't know if it was for his Union service. I could order a Pension Application from NARA if that were the case, but I'm not sure. I could certainly use some help in trying to locate his parents. I thought an obit would reveal some useful information. Hope to hear from someone. Thanks very much. Karen
