Daniel 1803 sister
Another June Welch..pg 67, ...."Pink (on of Doctor Henderson 1846 sons, not sure which) verified Daniel's sister's marrying teh Indian Bush.
One sister I know of is Dorcas who married a Sears.
another puzzle
June Welch's Father
Pg 67 of Journal is the comment referencing Leonidas Walker Prigmore 1839..."his son, James Marion Prigmore, m Ellen Frances Owens; there were my mother's parents"
June's grandmother was Jane Elzia Prigmore, 1903....there seems to be no question about this.
There also seems to be no question that her mother was Ellen Frances Owens; further, she had a number of siblings who were previously unknown to me:
Glen 1896, appears to have died young.
Cecil 1897, married one child
Tennie 1899, single
From the census, we know in 1910 she was divorced and had the children.
From the census, we know James Marion in 1900 was living as a single man in TX with his cousins the Flax.
There is a Marriage Certificate (no date) between James Marion and Ellen Frances. A few family trees show this marriage, but none show childred.
Finally, dawn breaks. The family trees show Ellens husband to be James' brother Thomas 'Amos'......they records also show he died in 1902.
Most likely she first married Thomas, has the three sons....all before 1900. Thomas dies, his younger brother James steps up to the plate, marries Ellen and they have one daughter Jane, 1903.....he then can't take it and they get divorced sometime before 1910.
That's the way it goes into the tree.

Huntingdon Historical Society
In a letter dated 22 April 2009 Lorrie Noey reviews their file on the Prigmore's which has built up over the years with a lot of June Welch's work.
Enclosed with the letter were a number of notes on Joseph, Benjamin, and Basel (many spellings).
Reinforce the view of a Prigmore out on the frontier, trading properties, and not afriad of a little litigation.
Benjamin Prigmore, 1761 Missouri Pioneer
Have been working with "Old Mr. Prigmore had a cotton gin at Brownsville." pg 15 History of Johnson County, MO (later became LaFayette County)...Prigmore also had a small mill stone for handpowder.
Unable to find a Brownsville, MO on any map I was baffled until I found the following:
"Known early on as Claysville, Sweet Springs began as a stopping place for pioneers who were making their way across the Missouri River. The town's first settlers came from Kentucky in 1817; it was incorporated in 1832 and renamed to Brownsville in 1838 in honor of the man who owned the land on which the village stood.
Soon after, a minister passing through discovered his ailing wife's health was restored after drinking from a local spring. He bought the land the spring was located on and soon the water was famous, with visitors coming from far and wide. The name "Sweet Springs" became synonymous with the town, and the name was changed from Brownsville to Sweet Springs in 1887."
