Notes for Thomas Pritchard II
5Notes from Emily Pritchard Cary’s ged file:
This Thomas Pritchett and the one listed as his father may be one and the same. We know he was dead by July 6, 1695 when his son, Christopher Pritchett, sold land assigned to Thomas Pritchett to John Warde except for 100 acres.
The Northumberland County, Virginia Deeds and Orders Book 1650-52, the Oath of Loyalty to the Commonwealth of 1652 lists a Thomas Prickett. Northumberland is but a few miles from Westmoreland County by water and trail, so it is possible that he is our Thomas Pritchard. In his book, The Old Families of Northumberland and their Politics by John E. Manahan, Ph.D. from UVA in 1946, reprinted in Bulletin of Northumberland County Historical Society, Vol. VI, No. 1, 1969, the author remarks: " Some of the names on the list that sound as if they might have been King's men signing against their will are ....Prickett..and others...(p. 8). If I were asked to enumerate the leading families of Northumberland before the Revolution, I should name the...Gaskinses....Prichards...Rices...Lattimores...(p. 13). A careful examination of the groups of migrants to Northumberland county before 1700 show the following...The Gloucester people following the Lees northward - mostly Cavaliers...The significant group direct from Isle of Wight County, VA, Bristol merchants and the like, presumably slightly Roundhead...Rappahannock people descending form North English like the Lawsons, whose characteristic name of Epaphroditus would mark them out as Roundheads, merchants, or broken down Royalists. (p. 15.)
On p. 16, the author lists birthdates of Old Northumberland settlers among them Thomas Gaskins (Gascoyne) 1601; Gervase Dodson, 1611. Both of these (or their descendants) interfaced with the Pritchards for several generations.
The Isle of Wight connection is important (bearing in mind that distances were small) because several Pritchard families were prominent in that area through the 18th Century. They possibly were descended from a son of the original Thomas Pritchard immigrant. The following remarks and connections are taken from Seventeenth Century Isle of Wight: Some Isle of Wight Families, pp. 260-263:
James Tooke came to Virginia on the George in 1621. He was the son of James Tooke, 4th son of James Tooke, son of William Tooke of Hereford, England, who died in 1611. His children were Thomas*, William, and Dorothy. Thomas had children James, Thomas, Dorothy, John, Joan, William, and Mary*, who married (1) Crew, then (2) Edmond Bellson* on Oct. 10, 1684. Their children were Mary*, born Nov. 24, 1685, and Elizabeth. Mary married Abraham Ricks March 16, 1703. Their children were Mourning, Mary, Elizabeth*, Lydia, Martha, Ann (married John Marshall), and Patience. Elizabeth* married Thomas Pritchard.*
In Westmoreland County Records, 1661-1664, p. 20: On the 24th day of February 1663/64 (double dates used to indicate calendar changes) Thomas Pritchett was subpoenaed to this Court as a witness in behalfe of Richard Hills in a suit against David Anderson. Hills shall pay Prichett for two daies attendance on and three daies comeing to and goeing from the Court.
In the above book on page 23: Thomas Prichett arrested Francis Tripplett and could not make good his petition against him. Prichett shall be nonsuited.
John Brooks married the relict (widow) of Thomas Pritchard. Both are buried on the Muse farm, adjacent to the George Washington Memorial Park, Westmoreland County, Virginia.
