HI:
I'm researching SEYMOUR PRYOR of Mason County, KY. He was 41 when he was
emancipated by JOANNA (CLIFT) BERRY in 1838. He is not on the 1840 Census for
the
county. I would like to find out what happened to him after he was freed.
How do I proceed in my research? I can't find him in the U.S. Census records
from 1840 onward. I have no idea who he may have lived with (or worked for) in
Mason County or elsewhere after he was freed.
His wife was PARMITIA and he had at least one daughter, MARIAH. I don't know
anything else about Parmitia, only her name. His daughter Mariah remained a
slave until Emancipation.
How do I document what happened to him? Thanks for all help,
Kberry

She was also a slave.
