    Notes 
    • 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. [8]
