I need help determining the genealogy of MARY PRIOLEAU, m. 

I am trying to sort out a real estate transaction between MARY BRYAN,
widow of HUGH BRYAN, and daughter of SAMUEL PRIOLEAU, and discover that
while I have several MARY PRIOLEAUs in my database, and several SAMUEL
PRIOLEAUs in my database, I do not have a MARY, daughter of SAMUEL who
would have married HUGH BRYAN.

Sorting all this out will help me, I hope, connect up my HUTCHINSON,
CARNE, and DUBOIS ancestors, along with BONNEAU and ELFE and a few
others--most of whom were Charleston carpenters/cabinetmakers/builders
living on or close to Queen street (which I hope to see in all its April
glory this year!)

These folks were practicing their trade c. 1750s to 1790s.

Here are two transactions tying some of these folks together:
