Arline, welcome to the group.  Unfortunately I am not familiar with your Priors.  I know there were Pryors / Priors who went to Georgia but they came from North Carolina and were whites.  There could be other Priors who came to Georgia via Savannah as you learned, not closely related to those who came to Virginia.

Hello Charlene, welcome to the group. We need to find more to join us. Do tell me about your Pryor line. So far I have mine back to Matthew Pryor and wife Mary Neeley of Roane Co., TN. I descend from Philip Pryor, their son, who went to McNairy Co., TN and died there around 1851. While I don't have proof that his son was Lemuel M. Pryor, I strongly believe he was, due to some information and the DNA testing. Lemuel and his brother William J. Pryor relocated to east Texas late 1840s.
