I have a copy of page 139 of Elizabeth Pryor Harper's Twenty-Two Southern Families.

This page contains the material that the author had abstracted from various sources on the PRYOR family in Kentucky. The only exception to VA and NC is that Elizabeth PRYOR, d/o John and Margaret PRYOR, married first Charles Smith, who died in Halifax Co. VA by Dec Court of 1757, and secondly married by 1760 Mathews Flournoy. This Elizabeth PRYOR Smith Flournoy and her second husband moved to KY, where both of their wills are found.

Here are some PRYOR's I found listed in some of the counties of TX. Are any of these the 0nes you might be looking for? I read through about 5 of 22 matches. I am going to rest my eyes and then will try for some more later.
