James is the brother of my 4th Great Grandfather - William B. Prosser.

   

James PROSSER was born between 1791-1793 in North Carolina and died 1854 in Lincoln/Moore Co., TN.  His wife was Frances Richardson who was born between 1802-04 and she died between 1857-59;  James and Frances' 14 children were:

NOTE 1:  * It is my belief that the Walter P. Prosser who appears in the 1880 Obion Co., TN Census, is the same William P. Prosser who was the son of James and Frances Richardson Prosser. Until 1860, William P. Prosser is in Tennessee census records. In 1870, he appears in the Hopkins Co., Texas census. And, by 1880, he is back in Tennessee living in Obion County. Sometime between 1880 and 1900, several of his children migrated to Cape Girardeau Co., Missouri.
   
William P. Prosser (aka: Walter) was married twice: 1) Elizabeth Catherine Cresson with whom he had 5 children: Frances, Franklin, Hugh Lawson, Martha, and William C.; 2) Mary Elizabeth Fouch (aka: Foutch) with whom ha had 4 children: John Martin Luther, Oscar, Charles, and Martin Luther.
 
A SPECIAL NOTE:  Although I have posted this page for James Prosser and his family, I do not have very much personal information regarding James and his family. Most of this data was made available by a distant cousin of mine who descends through this line - Bobby Prosser. He lives in Dickson, Tennessee not far from my Father in McEwen, Tennessee. If you should have any questions regarding this James Prosser and his descendants, I recommend you correspond with cousin Bobby at:  "Prossergenealogy@Comcast.net"
