8. | John Sexton, (doubtful) was born in 1725; died in 1763 in Lunenburg County, Virginia, USA. Other Events:
Notes: There seemed to be some connection between this John son's and Pryor as Pryor lived very close to Ben Sexton. I lean away from this John being a father of Pryor because when he died, Pryor was not listed as one of the children that was bounded out. A lot of people list Pryor's parents as Joseph and Mary, but there is no proof of that either. I left John here as a father as a reminder he is probably related to John in some way, and I need to try and find the connection between the two.
