that Thomas Pritchard deceased deparrted this life intestate so far as he knows ... William Smith, Edward Price, and 
Henry Woodcock personally acknowledged their bond in Court for fifty pounds Sterling for the said William Smith, Admin. 
of Thomas Pritchard's Estate ... William Carter, Christopher Pritchard, Giles Carter, and Joseph Carpenter or any three 
of them are appointed ... to value and appraise all and singular the estate of Thomas Pritchard deceased.", p.

(4) Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ , The Pritchard Family History (Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1999, 
rev 2001). In private correspondence in July 2013, the author revealed the following findings from her research since 
the 2001 revision of her book: 
"Thomas Pritchard, b. abt. 1689, King George County, VA., d. before September 07, 1722, King George County, VA. m. to 
MARY, who remarried ? DONOLY/DONALLY. Children of Thomas Pritchard and Mary are: 
a. Christopher Pritchard 
b. John Pritchard, b. July 01, 1719 
At King George County Court, March 04, 1725, Christopher Pritchard I is appointed Guardian of Christopher II Pritchet 
(sic) an orphan, son of Thomas Pritchet (sic) deceased.  On Nov. 06, 1725, Mary Donoly indentures her son John Pritchard 
to Christopher Pritchard.  Mary may have been the second wife of Thomas; otherwise, Christopher would not be an orphan. 
Perhaps it is so designated because he is the oldest child and closer the age of indenture than his sibling.  On Nov. 
1728, the same Court orders that John Pritchet, son of Thomas Pritchet, serve Christopher Pritchett to the age of 21.  
He was then nine years of age.  During the same proceedings, Henry Williams (son of Joyce Pritchard and Henry Williams 
Sr. deceased) is ordered to serve Christopher Pritchet to the age of 21.  He was then fourteen years of age. The 
indenture of Henry Williams is approved by his mother, now Joyce Smith of Washington Parish in Westmoreland County.  The 
proceedings are witnessed by Francis Smith, Henry’s stepfather, and Mary 
Donoly."

rev 2001). Although the wife of Christopher Pritchard II was originally identified as Sarah Gollathan, daughter of 
Martin Gollathan, further research by author Emily P. Cary has cast doubt on that conclusion.  Martin Gollathan (also 
spelled Golathan, Golothan and Golorthum) and Christopher Pritchard II were parties to a land lease in Oct 1732, and 
Christopher II was named as beneficiary and an executor of Martin Gollathan's will the following month.  Although quite 
possible, there is no conclusive evidence that Martin Gollathan had a daughter Sarah or that Sarah's surname was 
Gollathan. pp. 27, 28.
