She notes in her report: Family tradition tells that he was born in Edingburg, Scotland. He settled in Greenville district, NC, so we're told, and had a plantation there. I have been able to confirm some of this. See Chapt. XIV, p. 458 "Traditions nad Reminiscens of The American Revolution. Very interesting article I've copied and filed in my HIETT papers, article says HITE, but they are certainly related. See also "History of Greenville Co., pg. 35-43, also see Pickens Co., 06 June 1842, SC., Will probated in Greenville Co., SC. Also see History of Rowen Co., NC. This inforation was given me more then 35 years ago, I have since found that he was not born in Scotland.
More about Nancy, I suspect that her name was Nancy Jane Berry (Not Alexander?)

The family moved to Fremont Co. Iowa about 1878. At the time, Johns
brother, Reuben, was involved in a murder in Warren Co., Iowa. At one point,
John was accused of being an accomplice in the murder, as well as a cousin,
Tom Kimzey. At the same time, John went on trial for perjury and was placed
under $5,000 bail.Warren Co. Record (newspaper) July 25, 1878
"Last winter, K. Proctor and one or two other suspicious characters living in Belmont (Twp) received notice to leave and they left, least the fate that met Rube Proctor might also be waiting for them. After several months absence K. Proctor returned a few weeks since armed with revolvers, knives, etc. and declared his intentions of remaining a permanant citizen of Belmont township, either on top the ground or planted. Last Sunday evening four men rode up to his house and inquired for him. He was not at home, but out after the cows. With revolvers drawn, the men captured him and took him some distance from home and whipped him severely and gave him orders to leave in ten days if he did not wish to swing."
By Shirley Ross, "Needless to say, the William K. Proctors moved back to
Fremont County. They stayed there till their deaths and were respected members of the community from all reports.
Pearl went to Los Angeles, about 1920's. She went to the dentist and had all her teeth pulled. She kept working and did not take the false teeth out, so they became infected and she died. It was after the war, Maude kept in touch with them. She looked very much like our Stephanie when she was the same age. (At about 2 years of age.)
She was apparently married to a Mr. A. Biggs. Do not believe they had any children.
