Notes for Peter (Spouse 1)
After their marriage in Clarksburg, Harrison county, Peter Pritchard and Elizabeth Willis lived in Barbour County until they joined his father and stepmother in Ritchie County. For the next two generations, the Pritchards resided at Oxford and nearby White Oak, just across the county border in Doddridge County. Peter Pritchard was one of the earliest justices of the peace in that area and was known as "a cornerstone" of the White Oak Methodist Episcopal Church in Oxford, where he is buried.
145. . . Peter Pritchard was the first settler at the mouth of this creek, where his son, John, now lives. He was the son of Thomas and Nancy Tichinel [sic] Pritchard, and was a native of Preston county, he having been born on October 1, 1798. On February 15, 1821, he was married to Miss Elizabeth Willis, daughter of William and Anna Douglass Willis, early settlers of the Clarksburg vicinity. Her father came from the "Emerald Isle," and was one of the pioneer pedagogues of Harrison county. After Mr. Pritchard's marriage, he resided in what is now Barbour county until 1837 when he came to White Oak, where he spent the remnant of his days. He was one of the early justices of the peace, and, like Mr Clayton, was a corner-stone of the White Oak M. E. church. He died on September 29, 1883, and Mrs. Pritchard, who was born on December 30, 1798, passed to her reward, on December 9, 1869. Both rest at White Oak.
Their children: the Late George, Thomas and Mrs. Anna (B. M.) Lawson, and John, of White Oak; Wm. T., of Webster county; Mrs. Cassie (Harrison) Wass, Harrisville; the late Mrs. Nancy P. (A. E.) Holt, of Fairmont; and Jane P, who first married Lewis Maxwell, of Doddridge county, and after his death became the wife of the Rev. W. H. Wiley, is now of Fairmont.
Thomas married Miss Amanda Lawson, sister of B. W. Lawson, and was the father of the Rev. M. F. Pritchard, of the M. E. church, and J. F., and W. I. Pritchard, of the U. B. church.
145The White Oak Methodist Episcopal class was organized in 1842, at the home of Elijah Clayton, and Mr. Clayton, Thomas Ireland, Peter Pritchard, and Samuel Wolfe, with their wives, were among its initial members. The pioneer church building was erected in 1845, Mr. Clayton being the donor of the grounds. But this old time structure gave place to another in 1857, and to the present one in 1891.
