Pryor Pendleton was married a second time to Louisa Bryant, age 18, daughter of William and Elizabeth Bryant, and widow of ______ Lyon. Pryor was 78 years of age! He lived only eight months after this marriage. Louisa later remarried. Louisa's first husband was probably killed in the Civil War and the marriage to Pryor was probably done a least in part as a means of survival during a time in which only the very young and the very old men were all that was avaliable.
