There are two branches of African-American Prillaman's of which I have become aware and have corresponded with their descendants. One line includes the descendants of Richard and Violet Prillaman. The other line includes the descendants of Franklyn Prillerman and his wife Charlotte. I hope to have information on these lines posted by the summer of 2002. In the meantime, below are some links to sites outside these pages for researching African-American Prillaman or Prillerman families.
