INSIGHT INTO THE LIFE OF GREAT GRANDMOTHER SUSAN

Nothing is known as yet of Susan's life until she became pregnant out of wedlock at the age of 18 . A son was born March 9, 1854 and she named him Richard Martin and gave him her maiden name of Pryor although she evidently knew exactly who his father was. Records show his last name was Horne. A little over a year later she became pregnant out of wedlock again by another man. My great uncle William Daniel Franklin Pryor was born March 15,1856 , as he also was given her maiden name when once again she knew his father was a Lattimore.Here again the story is told by my father's double first cousins.
Even after she was married 3 times later these were evidently her only children.
I am so glad these sisters,who were daughters of William wrote this history down or else it would be lost forever. That inspires me even more to keep this tradition going throughout the future generations.
