Moses Pryor, or Pryor Daniel as my branch of the family always knew him, died on 20 March 1875 and was buried in the family cemetery on his farm. At his death, Moses divided his lands with his sons. Pryor gave George Sidney the farm west of Danieltown. The farm, in back of New Hope Christian Church, went to John Eddie. Henry received a farm near the junction of the Blackstone Road and the road that goes by Rocky Run Methodist Church. Moses Rufus lived with his mother, Mary Susan for the rest of her life and she left him the "old" place.
