"Thomas Pritchard Sr. was born about 1730-35 in King George, Stafford or Prince William County, Virginia, and died before 1812 in Allegany County, Maryland. He married Rachel Davis about 1759 in Loudoun County, Virginia. Like his father and earlier ancestors, he was a craftsman and pioneer at heart. The exact location of his birth is not known because of Virginia's fluctuating county borders and formation of new counties from older ones. Christopher II, his father, received a Prince William County land grant in 1742 from Lord Fairfax. Prince William County was formed in 1730 from Stafford and King George Counties. Fairfax County was formed in 1742 from Prince William County, Loudoun County was formed in 1747 from Fairfax County, and Fauquier County was formed in 1759 from Prince William County. These boundary shifts allowed the Pritchard family to leave traces in each county."¹⁷

He married ca 1759 in Loudoun Co, VA,¹⁷ Rachel Davis, b. ca 1745 in Loudoun Co, VA,^[22] (daughter of John Davis and Cecelia Fitzhugh Edderington), d. aft Jun 1813 in Allegany Co, MD.²

Rachel: Rachel Davis was born about 1745 in Loudon Co, VA, and died probably between 1813 and 1815 in Allegany Co, MD. The Davis family came to America from Cardigan, Wales. Rachel's grandfather may have been Thomas Davis Sr., who died in Loudon County on May 6 1758 and was married to Margaret.²²

Children:

i. JOHN PRICHARD, also known as John Pritchard,^[23] b. Jul-29-1760 in Leesburg, Loudoun Co, VA,^[24] d. Mar-28-1847 in Decatur Co, IN,²⁴ [There are several discrepancies about the date of John Pri(t)chard's death. On DAR records, it ranges from Jun 21 1842 to Mar 24 1847, the date carved on his tombstone at Sandcreek Cemetery. (Emily Pritchard Cary, p. 61)], buried Sandcreek Cem, Wass - Twp in Decatur Co, IN, resided since 1833 in Decatur Co, IN,^[25] resided formerly in Scott Co, KY,²⁵ resided 1798 in Selbyville, Allegany Co, MD,^[26] military Mar 1781 - Sep 1782 Revolutionary War.^[27] He married Oct-12-1795 in Loudoun Co, VA,²⁴ Anna Smarr, b. 1774 in Loudoun Co, VA,²⁴ (daughter of John Smarr and Sarah Pearl), d.

vi. WILLIAM PRICHARD, also known as William Pritchard,^[28] b. Dec-17-1777 in Loudoun Co, VA,²⁷ d. Apr- -1866 in Marion Co, WV,²⁷ census 1810 in Allegany Co, MD.¹⁸

Though not proved, it is considered likely that this William Pritchard/Prichard was actually the son of Thomas Pritchard Sr.'s presumed brother William Christopher Pritchard, who died six months before the child's birth. Since no record of the child's mother, Amelia Knotts, is found after that, it is possible that she died during childbirth, and the child was then taken into his uncle Thomas' family.^[29]

He married Feb- -1805 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA,^[30] Hannah Meredith (daughter of Davis Meredith and Unknown).

Hannah: Hannah Meredith, wife of William Pritchard, was the step-daughter of William's sister Nancy Anne, who married Hannah's widowed father Davis Meredith.²⁶

vii. NANCY ANNE PRITCHARD, also known as Anne Pritchard,²⁷ b. ca 1780 in Loudoun Co, VA,²⁷ d. aft 1850 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA.²⁷ She married Nov- 8-1800 in Allegany Co, MD,^[31] Davis Meredith, census 1810 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA.¹⁸

Generation Seven

7. Thomas Pritchard, Jr. (6.Thomas⁶, 5.Christopher⁵, 4.Thomas⁴, 3.Christopher³, 2.Thomas², 1.Thomas¹), b. Jan- 9-1768 in Leesburg, Loudoun Co, VA,^24,[32],[33] d. Dec-24-1846 in Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV,^32,33 buried in Oxford Baptist Church Cemetery, Doddridge Co, WV,^[34],[35] [Emily Pritchard Cary (p. 82) reports his burial in "White Oak Cemetery, Oxford," while "Ritchie County WV Cemeteries," p. 631, reports his as the only burial at Pritchard Cemetery, described as "Incomplete. Near Oxford; Exact Location Unknown. See MKL - p. 40."], resided ca 1832 (settled) in Ritchie Co, (W)VA,³² census 1810 in Monongalia Co, (W)VA,¹⁸ resided 1809 (moved) to Monongalia Co, (W)VA,^[36] census 1800 in Allegany Co, MD,¹⁹ occupation miller (saw and grist).³²

Thomas Pritchard's ancestors came from England and settled at Jamestown in about 1610. His brother, John Pritchard, saw three years of service as a soldier in the Continental Army during the American Revolution. In about 1832, Thomas Pritchard came from The Glades in Preston County and built the first mill on the South Fork of Hughes River, below Oxford, making the first settlement in that area. A certain Henry O. Middleton had given him one hundred acres of land in that wilderness as inducement to settle and to erect a saw and grist mill.³⁵

He married^24,35 (1) Jan- 9-1796 in Allegany Co, MD,^32,[37] Nancy Tichenell, b. ca 1767 in Morris Co, NJ,^[38] (daughter of Moses Tichenal and Margaret Jackson), d. bef Oct 1812 at the Glades, near Rohr, Preston Co, WV,^19,35 buried at the Glades, near Rohr, Preston Co, WV.^35,32

Nancy: "Nancy Tichenell, first wife of Thomas Pritchard Jr., was descended from a prominent New Jersey family, most of whom retained the original spelling of Tichenor. Beginning with Nancy's father Moses, a Revolutionary War soldier, the spelling went awry, and his descendants used a variety of forms, most ending with 'L'."

Nancy Tichenell (Titchenell, Tichnell, Tichenal) died before Oct 25 1812 (the date of husband Thomas Pritchard's remarriage to Mary Moody) in what is now Preston Co, WV. Nancy and Thomas had seven or eight children. Some genealogists believe that his daughter Mary was actually the daughter of Mary Moody. Because his daughter Elizabeth was born Feb 20 1812, it is quite likely that Nancy died at the time of that birth, a common event in pioneer families. Mary's given name is another clue.

"Two weeks after their marriage in Allegany County, Maryland, Thomas became the guardian of Nancy's younger siblings, Stephen Tickenal (sic), Margaret Tickenal, and Jain (Jane) Tichenal, orphan children of Moses Tickenal, all of that county."^[39]

Lewis: Lewis Maxwell was a member of Congress from 1827 to 1833. A wealthy man for his time, he was a surveyor who entered large tracts of land all over his region of the state. Childless, he left no heirs, so much of his fortune fell to his nephew, Franklin Maxwell. Specifically, his will "gave his widow her dower, and divided the residue of the estate equally between the sons of his nephew Franklin one-half, and the other one-half equally among the sons of his brothers and half-brothers; Franklin Maxwell, under the Will, received $2,000 for settling the estate, and Judge Edwin Maxwell and the Judge's brother Rufus Maxwell received his Library."^75,[77]

He married Sophronia Wilson in 1844, and later, in 1859, Jane Pritchard, who survived him. He was one of the largest landholders in the region, a founder of Weston, (West) Virginia and the founder of Jane Lew, a town named after his mother. He died in West Union, Doddridge County, (West) Virginia on February 13, 1862 and was buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery.

"Ritchie County in History and Romance," p. 40, lists as children of John Moody Pritchard and Sarah Haddox the same first eight that we show here, with the exception that a son Jasper is listed rather than James. James is documented through his marriage record as a child of this couple; since Jasper and James are shown as being of the same age, it would appear that James was also known as Jasper.

At the age of seven, John Jett Jr. moved with his parents to Barbour County, where they purchased a farm. In 1849, he and his wife moved to Ritchie County, where they lived until 1875, moving then to Roane County, WV. They had ten children, three of whom died in childhood.

There is some question as to the date and place of birth of this William M. Watson. Age 45 given at time of 1860 Census would put birth in about 1815, while age given for the 1870 and 1880 Census would put birth ca 1819. Age 53 given at time of his second marriage, in Sep 1871, would put birth ca 1818. Age 72 given at the time of his death in Feb 1890 would put birth ca 1817 or 1818. His place of birth is given as Harrison County in the record of his second marriage, but as Mercer County in his death record. Harrison County would seem more likely.

1850 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia), enumeratd on Jul 23 1850:

William Watson, 31, farmer; Nancy, 30; Malinda, 8; Sarah, 6; Juliet, 4; Martha, 1; Mary, 1.

(Note: The adjoining household reported was that of John G. Hart & his wife Malinda Ann Nutter, sister of William's wife Nancy. Ninety-six years later, in August 1946, William & Nancy Watson's great-grandson, Armand Leon Brown, married Geneva Pauline Gaston, the great-granddaughter of John & Malinda Hart.)

1860 Census, Doddridge Co, Virginia (now West Virginia):

William Watson, 45, farmer; Nancy, 40; M. A. (female), 18; S. (female), 16; J. (female), 14; Martha, 11; Mary, 11; Jane, 9; Loyd, 8; Marion, 2.

William Watson, 51, farmer; Nancy J, 18; William L, 15; Francis M, 12; Amanda V, 9; William E. Crichfield, 5.

(Note: William E. Critchfield was the grandson of William & Nancy Nutter Watson. His father, William E. Critchfield, died in the Civil War a month before he was born, and his mother, Malinda Ann Watson Critchfield, remarried John William Wyatt in Pennsylvania two years later.)

1880 Census, Roane Co, WV (Spencer District), enumerated in June 1880:

William Watson, 61, farmer; wife Ellen J, 50; dau Amanda V, 19; granddau Eva I (?), 7.

He married^[122],[123] (1) Oct-22-1840 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^[124] Nancy Nutter, b. Feb-22-1818 in Barbour Co, (W)VA,^[125] [Don Norman reports birth date as 1820.] (daughter of Andrew Nutter and Malinda Willis), d. Jun-29-1869 in Doddridge Co, WV,^{[126],40,[127]} census 1850, 1860 in Doddridge Co, (W)VA.

Nancy: Some researchers report the parents of Nancy Nutter, the wife of William Watson, as James Nutter (1773-1833) and Julia Ann Davisson (1775-1826), a relationship that is at variance with substantiated facts about her. Nancy Nutter Watson's death record in Doddridge County states that she was born in Barbour Co, (W)VA, the daughter of "A. Nutter." While Barbour County is inconsistent with the reported birthplaces of her siblings (Harrison and Doddridge Counties) and may be incorrect, we do know that her husband William Watson's family had resided for some time in Barbour County, and that her two oldest children were also born in Barbour County. As far as can be determined, James Nutter and Julia Ann Davisson spent their entire lives in Harrison County and had no known Barbour County connections.

Adding to the confusion is the Nutter genealogy compiled by Donald Norman, based on Barr Wilson's work, listing among the children of James Nutter & Julia Ann Davisson, and also among the children of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, a daughter named Nancy who married a William Watson. That there would be two Nancy Nutters who married two William Watsons in that region and time frame seems very unlikely. However, we do know that a Nancy Nutter married a William Watson in Harrison County on Oct 22 1840 (or possibly Mar 4 1841, based on interpretation of the handwritten marriage record; a Marriage Bond was executed in Harrison County on Sep 1 1840 by Nancy Nutter's parents, Anda (sic) & Malinda Nutter, and also signed by her brother Willis Nutter and by Otha G. Watson, half-brother of William M. Watson). There is nothing in the marriage record itself (MR Bk 3, p. 145) reflecting the parentage or exact identity of either person, leaving open the possibility that it was a different Nancy Nutter, a different William Watson, or both. But the family members mentioned in the marriage bond should dispel any doubt.

No other marriage record for William or Nancy was found in Harrison, Doddridge or Barbour Counties. Given all the evidence and circumstances, we conclude that it was this Nancy Nutter, daughter of Andrew Nutter & Malinda Willis, who married William Watson.

He married (2) Sep-25-1871 in Doddridge Co, WV,^[128] Ellen Jane Stinespring, also known as Ella J. Stinespring,^[129] b. May-31-1830 in Harrison Co, (W)VA,^{118,91,[130],73} (daughter of John A.

Ellen: 1900 Census of Doddridge County (Southwest District) shows Ellen J. Watson as a member of her son John Ervin Leggett's household, along with his wife and seven children. She was listed as a widow, age 70, born May 1830, mother of 10 children, of which 2 were still living.

Identified in obituary as Mary A. Haught, daughter of John H. Gaston and Jane Pritchard Gaston. Basis for middle initial "A" is not known, as her middle name has been determined to be Martha and her headstone clearly identifies her as Mary M. Conversely, the obituary of her son Marvel L. Haught identifies her as Mary Ellen Gaston, and she appears in the 1850 Census as Mary E. Gaston, age 6 months. Her own obituary reads in part: "Mrs. Haught was born and reared and spent her entire long and useful life on the same farm in South West District. She was well known to many of the citizens of Doddridge County and was loved and revered by all who knew her; she was always kind and generous to the poor and was always attentive and helpful to the citizens of her community in times of sickness and distress. She lived a useful life, retaining her memory and optimism of life until a few days before she was called. When her life's work was finished, she fell asleep, assuring her relatives and friends that she was prepared to the change and that all was well with her."

Much confusion has existed over the years concerning the spelling of his name and that of his father, but his father was Marville (despite being listed as Marvel in his wife's obituary), and he named his son Marvel. Nonetheless, both spellings are often seen for both men, even in official records. Headstone gives name as Marvel L. Haught, and the Social Security Death Index identifies him as Marvel Haught.

He was subsequently hospitalized at Mower U.S. Army Hospital in Chestnut Hill (Philadelphia), Pennsylvania, for the remainder of his enlistment. Suffering from "disease of the eyes" according to the 1890 Veterans Survey, he filed for an invalid's pension on Aug 31 1865.

Mrs. Babe Brown

Dear Aunt,

After a long time of delay, I will now answer your letter received back in the States. This leaves me feeling fine, am in good health and sincerely hope for this to find each of you well and enjoying life.

Well, this is certainly a grand country with all its beauty, and my but there are lots of pretty girls here. But I have one back in the States awaiting on me, so I don't try to get acquainted with them here.

This has been a nice bright sunshiny Sabbath, and I have written the most of the day.

Has Chauncey Riddle returned back home yet?

How is business around town?

How is Brown's health? Is he as fat as ever? Tell him I am as I ever was, that Army life hasn't learnt me any bad habits yet and I expect to be the same as long as I live. Tell him hello for me and I hope to see him in the near future.

How are the children?

Well, Babe, don't wait too long to answer. So with love, best wishes to all, I will close.

118. Nancy Lou "Babe" Haught (52.Mary¹⁰, 20.William⁹, 8.Sarah⁸, 7.Thomas⁷, 6.Thomas⁶, 5.Christopher⁵, 4.Thomas⁴, 3.Christopher³, 2.Thomas², 1.Thomas¹), b. Jan-19-1884 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[625] d.

Nancy was always sensitive about her age, and no one in the family was ever sure exactly when she was born. The official Jan 19 1884 birth date was provided at the time of the delayed recording of her birth record in 1944 and was based principally on the testimony of her sister Rosa. Age 23 given at time of Dec 1910 marriage would put birth date in 1887, as would age 43 in the 1930 Census. The SSDI reports her birth date as Jan 19 1885, while her headstone shows her birth date as Jan 19 1889, also incorrect. A birth date of Jan 1882 was given in the 1900 Census, correctly placing her between older sister Icy Dell (listed as b. Jul 1880) and younger brother John Homer (b. Nov 1883). An analysis of the 1900 Census data for that household leads to the conclusion that Nancy and siblings Elizabeth, Icy & Homer seem to have shifted their birthdates in later years to make themselves appear a few years younger than they were. In Nancy's case, the shift seems to have occurred at about the time of the 1910 Census (when she was listed as being only 4 years older than in the 1900 Census), as her given age stayed fairly consistent after that. In the end, although we list her birth date as January 1884 to conform with her official birth record, the likelihood is that she was actually born in January 1882 as indicated in the 1900 Census.

She married (2) Dec-20-1910 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[628],[629] Addison Avery Brown, b. Aug- 1-1881 in Verndale, Wadena Co, MN,^[630],[631] (son of Ammi Almanzia Brown and Almira Sanders), d. Jan-13-1954 in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH, buried in Lake Park Cemetery, Youngstown, OH,^[632] resided in Youngstown, Mahoning Co, OH,³²² resided 1910 - 1943 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^322,253,271 resided 1893 - 1910 in Chehalis County (now Grays Harbor Co), WA,^469,632 resided originally in Verndale, Wadena Co, MN, census 1910 in Montesano, Chehalis (now Grays Harbor) Co, WA, census 1900 in Satsop, Chehalis (now Grays Harbor) Co, WA, census 1885 in Aldrich Twp, Wadena Co, MN, occupation glass-blower (in WV) and steel mill worker (in OH).³²²

Addison: Born in Minnesota in 1881, Addison Brown moved from there to the state of Washington with his father in June 1893. Federal Census data of Jun 5 1900 identifies Addison Y. [sic] Brown, age 19, residing in Satsop, Chehalis County (now known as Grays Harbor County), Washington as a servant and farm laborer in the household of Edward F. Foster, b. Aug 1862 in Idaho. Addison's birthdate was given as Aug 1880 [sic], birthplace Minnesota, father's birthplace Massachusetts, mother's birthplace New York. Edward Foster's wife Mary was shown as born in Apr 1864 in West Virginia. The Fosters' neighbors were the family of Jasper and Virginia Mowry; they and the oldest five of their seven children were born in West Virginia, the younger two born in Washington. We can only speculate that it was through the Fosters and/or the Mowrys that Addison was somehow introduced to Nancy "Babe" Haught and eventually came to West Virginia. This is supported by the fact that Jasper Mowry appeared in the 1870 Census of Doddridge County (New Milton Twp) as the 9-year-old son of George & Mary Mowry, and that Jasper N. Mowry & Jennie (nickname for Virginia) Knight were married in Doddridge County on Mar 10 1856.

Census data of April 19 1910 states that Addison Brown was a 28-year-old laborer living in Montesano Precinct, County of Chehalis (now Grays Harbor County), Washington, with place of birth as Minnesota in 1881, residing as a "hired man" in the household of John C. Smith (age 52, born in Wisconsin) and his wife of 27 years, Jennie C. (age 47, born in West Virginia), and their children. Addison must have come to West Virginia soon thereafter, as he and Nancy "Babe" Haught were married Dec 20 1910 in West Union, and daughter Waneta was born Oct 23, 1911.

1920 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Jan 3 1920 at 111 Wabash Avenue:

A. A. Brown, 38, b. Minnesota, both parents b. Minnesota, occupation truck-dray driver; wife Babe Brown, 33; step-dau Clella Haught, 15; dau Jaunita Brown, 8; son Vernon A. Brown, 2 months.

Stated birthplace of Addison's parents is clearly in error.

1930 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (West Union District), enumerated on Apr 14 1930 (location appears to be one of several households at 317 E. Main St.):

Addison A. Brown, 47, b. Minnesota, both parents b. Minnesota, occupation salesman at feed store, age 26 at first marriage; wife Babe, 43, age 22 at first marriage, b. WV, father b. Pa., mother b. WV; dau Mabel W, 18; son Vernon A, 10; son Armond L, 7.

Again, the stated birthplace of Addison's parents is in error. Daughter Mabel W. Brown was better known as Waneta Brown; with her name appearing as Juanita Brown, she had been enumerated a week earlier in Harrison County in the household of half-sister Clella and her husband Lawrence Ingram.

1940 Census, Doddridge Co, WV (Town of West Union), enumerated on Apr 29 1940 at 304 Cottage Ave:

A. A. Brown, 59, b. Minnesota, laborer; wife Babe, 52, b. WVa; son Vernon, 20, single, laborer at cleaning & pressing shop; son Armand, 17. (Note: It is known from immediate family that in 1940 Addison Brown was employed as a delivery truck driver for the L. A. Hess Transfer Company of Fairmont, WV.)

In an affidavit dated Aug 21 1935 at Clarksburg WV, regarding establishment of Addison's birthdate, Addison stated that his family had moved to Montesano, Washington when he was about nine years old, that the family Bible had been destroyed in a house fire about three years later, that his mother had died when he was about six years old, that his father had died when he was about 18 years old, and that he had no living siblings.

Addison always told his son Armand that his only living relative not descended from him was a cousin, Edith Maria Weeden, whose address was 10 Guernsey Street, Norwich (Chenango County), NY. We have since determined that Edith Weeden was the wife of Archer Lewis Weeden (b. Mar 18 1870) (married May 20 1891) and was born Edith Maria Terwilliger in New York on Feb 13 1873, daughter of Andrew Jackson Terwilliger (1829-1904) and Mary Esther Sanders (1842-1919) (married Dec 12 1871). Census data shows that Mary Esther Sanders was a sister of Almira Sanders, Addison's mother. It was Edith Maria Weeden who in January 1943 provided an affidavit supporting the filing of Addison's delayed birth certificate in Verndale, Wadena County, Minnesota.

(1941), military Apr- 6-1943 - Jan- 9-1946 S/Sgt, US Army Armor, World War II (Europe).^479,307

Armand held several jobs as a youth, including doing custodial work at the West Union Post Office and pumping gas at the local filling station. After his 1941 graduation from Doddridge County High School, he worked at the A&P grocery store at the end of Main Street near the court house. He had a knack for working with fresh produce, much of which was displayed outside the store to attract customers. One person it attracted was a pretty teenager who walked by every morning on her way to school. Armand happened to be watching one day and saw her grab an apple and continue on her way. He rushed out of the store and demanded that she either return the apple or pay for it. We don't know what she ended up doing, because at this point in telling the story, Armand would always say "And that's how I met my wife. I caught her stealing apples." That teenage girl was Geneva Gaston, and they married a few years later. Although it was never made clear in the telling of the story, there's little doubt that far from being an apple thief, Geneva was simply trying to get the attention of someone special.

He married Aug-4-1946 in West Union, Doddridge Co, WV,^[650] Geneva Pauline Gaston, b. Nov-15-1926 at Camp Run, Oxford, Doddridge Co, WV (daughter of Ira Dow Gaston and Ida Opal Husk), d.

(1945), Salem College.

Geneva: Graduate of Doddridge County High School (1945) and attended Salem College, Salem, WV, 1945-46. Worked for two years in the office of the Ford garage in West Union. Upon her marriage to Armand Brown in 1946, she moved to Youngstown, Ohio, where Armand's family had moved from West Union while he was overseas during World War II. From 1962 to 1974, she worked as cashier and office worker for A&P food stores in Youngstown and vicinity. In June 1974, with Armand's heart problems preventing him from continuing his job with A&P in Youngstown, they returned to Doddridge County, moving into the house on Oxford Road, at Cabin Run, where Geneva had lived with her family for about five years prior to her marriage. From then until his death in 1985, Armand and Geneva operated what had been her parents' small grocery store adjacent to the family home, changing the name from Gaston's Grocery to Brown's Grocery. With her brother Sam, Geneva was a driving force and principal compiler of this genealogy.

He received at this time the degree of Bachelor of Laws, and later he received the degree of Master of Laws from Columbia University, Washington, D.C.

He was elected prosecuting attorney of Ritchie County in 1912, and that his administration has been specially efficient is indicated by the fact that in 1920 he was re-elected for a third consecutive term."

Freda: Identified in obituaries of E. Wilson Osborne and W. Frank Osborne as Mrs. Freda Haught of Akron, a surviving sister. But she was identified in obituary of Frank's sister Rella Osborne Snider as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster sister, and she was identified in obituary of Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn as Mrs. Harry (Freda) Haught of Akron, a surviving foster daughter. It would thus appear that Freda, whose mother died in 1919 when Freda was just 4, was raised in the family of Jacob M. and Annetta "Nettie" Cole Osburn. She was listed in their household as a lodger in the 1920 Census. Relationship between the Davis/Britton and Osborne/Cole families, if any, is not known. Confusingly, the obituary of her foster sister, Mary Osborne Gaston, states that she was predeceased by "three sisters, Rella Snider, Freda Haught and Freda Osborne." No birth record for Freda Davis was found in Doddridge County.

^[4] Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ <EmpCary@cox.net>, The Pritchard Family History (Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1999, rev 2001), In private correspondence in July 2013, the author reported the following findings from research done since the 2001 revision of her book: "Now, here are the findings of Jerry O’Connell which indicate that the father of Christopher was THOMAS, born 1618, Warwick County, d. 1670, Westmoreland County. His widow married John Brooks before Nov. 09, 1670, when Thomas Pritchard’s inventory was listed in Westmoreland County Deeds, p. 77.

After going through extant papers found in Virginia and England, Jerry learned that there were three Thomas Pritchards (Prichard/Prickett) living in Virginia according to the first census taken in 1623. After eliminating two of them, he logically concludes that ours is NOT the Thomas Prichard who arrived on the "Abigaile" in 1620 because that Thomas was alive and well on February 19, 1625 and testified in a case involving tobacco owned by Dr. Pott. The 1623 census lists two dead Thomas Prichards, one in Warwick County and the other in James City. The one who lived in Warwick County died in 1689 without issue. The Thomas who died before the 1623 census left a son named Thomas "as wellborn" in 1618. This Thomas died in Westmoreland County in 1670. His father was the brother of Miles and Henry Prickett who did arrive in 1610. Therefore, Jerry concludes, he is the progenitor of our line. "Wellborn" means of good lineage, or stock. Therefore, that indicates a heritage that is recorded, most likely in Canterbury or elsewhere.", Private correspondence, July 2013.

^[13] Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ <EmpCary@cox.net>, 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.".

^[16] Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ <EmpCary@cox.net>, The Pritchard Family History (Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1999, 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.

^[23] Emily Pritchard Cary, Scottsdale AZ <EmpCary@cox.net>, The Pritchard Family History (Heritage Books, Bowie MD, 1999, rev 2001), "There are several explanations why John Prichard dropped the 't' from his surname. Because clerks filling out many of his Revolutionary War documents used this spelling, he may have decided to adopt it for legal purposes. His younger brother, William, also eventually dropped the 't', although it was retained in some of his earlier legal papers.

"One intriguing factor which may have considerable bearing upon their decision is the influx into western Virginia - notably Monongalia County - of Melungeons (or Guineas) with the surname Pritchard. These people were regarded by their neighbors as 'half-breeds,' as they often were a mixture of Portugese, Spanish, Turkish, Muslim, American Indian, and - more infrequently - blacks. Since the Pritchards and other settlers in the area were proud of their English and Welsh heritage, they did not wish to be mistaken for 'mixed breeds.' Both John and William may have chosen this means of distancing themselves from people they considered to be undesirable, because once the connection was made, it was almost impossible to undo. ... Besides Pritchard (with a 't'), other common Melungeon surnames in western Virginia were Dalton, Goens, Kennedy, Mayle, Minard, Minor, and Norris. ... A detailed account of them is found in 'The Melungeons: The Resurrection of a Proud People - An Untold Story of Ethnic Cleansing in America' by N. Brent Kennedy (Mercer University Press, Macon, Georgia, September 1996.)", p. 56, 58.

Minnie Kendall Lowther goes so far as to identify the presiding minister, the Reverend George Collins. Examination of the original handwritten entry in the ledger-style marriage record book reveals that the date really could be interpreted either way. But since Minnie Kendall Lowther obviously consulted the original record herself (the only way she would know the minister's name) and she would have been familiar with the handwriting style, we accept her interpretation. p. 287-A.

^[383] Doddridge County Birth Records, West Union, WV, The entry identifies child as S. A. Richards, female, b. Sep 19 1877, daughter of David & S. A. Richards. This is a typed ledger entry, undoubtedly transcribed from the original handwritten records. The middle initial "A" would seem to be a transcription error from the original "R" as found in the 1880 Census, where this child is clearly identifed as Sarah R. Richards. But the 1900 Census identifies her as Lina Richards (b. Sep 1877), the obituary of brother Daniel in 1968 lists a surviving sister Lina Watson of Parkersburg, the marriage record of Lina Richards in Dec 1902 give her age as 25 (i.e., born ca 1877), and the SSDI shows Lina Watson, b. 18 [sic] Sep 1877, a resident of Parkersburg. Thus, it would appear that at some point in her youth, Sarah R. Richards started going exclusively by the name Lina Richards. BR Bk 1, p. 89.

Brown, of the State of Washington, and Miss Babe Haught, the sister of Mrs. Foley, and a daughter of Mr. D. M. Haught, of near Oxford.

^[633] Immediate family, No birth record has been found for Clella Haught, who was born out of wedlock to Nancy "Babe" Haught. According to family tradition, Clella's father was Sylvester Orval Prunty (1878-1956), son of Marshall Neal Prunty and Flora Odell Lawson. However, Clella's marriage record identifies her as Clella M. Haught, daughter of F. O. Prunty and A. A. (Haught) Brown. It was long thought that "F. O." was an error that should have been "S. O." But information provided in 2010 by a Prunty family member reveals the existence of old family letters indicating that Clella's father was not Sylvester O. Prunty, but rather his brother Felix O. Prunty (1883-1967). Apparently out of shame, Felix had left the Doddridge/Ritchie area in 1904 shortly before Clella's birth, returned in 1907 long enough to get married, then moved permanently to Oklahoma. There is no evidence that Felix had any further relationship with Nancy or with Clella.

(Note: Childbed fever is more properly known as puerperal fever, a bacterial infection contracted by women during childbirth or miscarriage. It can develop into puerperal sepsis, which is a serious form of septicaemia. If untreated, it is often fatal. From the 1600s through the mid to late 1800s, the majority of childbed fever cases were caused by the doctors themselves. With no knowledge of germs, doctors did not believe hand washing was needed. Statements like that of Dr. Charles Meigs, a leading obstetrician and teacher from Philadelphia, were the attitude of the time: "Doctors are gentlemen, and gentlemen’s hands are clean."
