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" |
