GEN. JACKSON PRYOR is an honored and well-known citizen of Jasper.

He is now living on a beautiful farm of three hundred acres situated scarcely outside the limits on the north side of the city.

Mr. Pryor was born in Morgan county, Tenn., January 15, 1816, a son of Green H. And Biddy (Halloway) Pryor, and the father was a son of Matthew Pryor. Matthew Pryor was a native of Virginia and moved from there to North Carolina, but soon after settled in Marion county, Tenn., where he spent the remaining years of his life on a farm. Green H. Pryor, the father of our subject, was born in North Carolina about the year 1787, and moved from thence to Marion county, Tenn., with his parents when a child. He served in the Creek Indian war under General Jackson, was a farmer by occupation, and died June 4, 1862, four years after the death of his wife. They were the parents of twelve children, of whom we have the following record: Jackson, the subject of this sketch; Polly A., deceased; Sampson, deceased; William, a farmer near Whitwell, Tenn.; Preston, who died in infancy; John, deceased; Washington, a farmer living on the old homestead; Anderson M., deceased; Jeremiah, deceased; Benjamin F., deceased; Eliza J., widow of Isham P.

Jackson Pryor was educated in the public schools of Marion county, and for a time was engaged in farming. He began selling goods in Jasper in the year 1838, and a few years later formed a partnership with W. S. Griffith. About two years later Mr. Pryor bought out his partner and carried on an extensive mercantile business alone until 1857. He then sold out to W. S. Griffith, his former partner, and L. P. Alexander, and returned to his farm, which is situated just north of the city, and has made that his home since 1861. He is a man of the very best character and of good business qualifications and as such is well respected throughout the county, and, as a token of the respect in which he is held, his fellow citizens have bestowed upon him the title of “General,” although he took no part in the war. Politically he is a Democrat, and, although he has never sought public honor, he once accepted the office of entry taker. In business matters and all matters tending to the welfare and improvement of Jasper and vicinity he has always proved a valuable factor. He has always sanctioned and given material aid in the development of all financial matters which tended to the better establishment of the business interests in jasper. The Pryor Institute was established here in 1889 by General Pryor, Col. A. L. Spears and Washington Pryor, and the institution was named “Pryor Institute” in honor of the subject of his sketch.

She was born in Warren county, Tenn., in the year 1822, and died in Jasper, January 17, 1881. She was a consistent member of the Methodist Episcopal church, South. To this union were born four children: the first died in infancy; John; William G. And Elizabeth, all of whom died when young. July 18, 1882, our subject was united in marriage to Miss Mary A.

He lost very heavily by the war, as the soldiers on both sides took his horses, mules, cattle, sheep, hogs and grain, and also robbed his store, burned his fences and plundered his house, and he also lost twenty-four slaves, and was left with nothing but his land. In 1866 he moved to Jasper and stayed one year, and then moved back to his farm near Oates Landing.

In 1892 he bought a tract of land three miles east of Jasper, in the Seventh district, and began farming on a scientific plan, making a specialty of small fruit. In this line of work he has been quite successful, and has become one of the substantial and well-to-do citizens of the district, and has accumulated considerable means.
