Notes for Christopher (Spouse 1)
8Christopher’s court records are found in deed, will, and order books of Old Rappahannock, Westmoreland, Richmond, and King Georges Counties, although he never moved. These scattered records can be attributed to the county name changes and overlapping borders during his lifetime of at least 60 years. The land he owned in Washington Parish is now occupied (1998) by the farm of Corbin Muse, a descendant of John Muse and the cousin of Goodwin Muse, also a direct descendant and current resident-owner of the Muse farm.
Prithcard or Pritchett or Pritchet
Thomas's son Christopher Pritchard I was elected constable in Washington Parish, VA about 1690. He was awarded a land claim and 1,800 pounds of tobacco as bounties for bringing in the heads of eleven wolves killed with his gun. Public records associate him during his lifetime with Old Rappahanock, Westmoreland, Richmond and King George Counties, though the boundaries moved, never him. Part of his land, adjoining George Washington's birthplace, is now the oldest American farm continually owned by the original family, descendants of his wife Jane Muse7. As a master carpenter and cooper (barrel-maker), Christopher took several young men as apprentices in his trade, teaching them to read and write as well. Pritchards of every generation have tended to gather and preserve collections of books and Bibles. Christopher died about 1730. His estate was valued at 42 pounds, 4 shillings, 8 pence. It included "13 head of young hogs, 5 cows and calves, 2 young heifers and two young steers, 2 old horses, 2 old beds and old furniture, 2 feather beds and bedstead and furniture, 2 old chests and old trunk, 7 pieces of earthenware, 2 old guns, 1 brass mortar and pestle, 1 spinning wheel."
