Lulita Crawford PRITCHETT, Born 1906; Died 1991 Ancestors of CARR WALLER PRITCHETT Jr. 24 Generations of Ancestors COLLECTED BY HENRY PRITCHETT COTTEN ATLANTA, GEORGIA FOR THE FAMILY, 2016 Introduction Many, many years ago, I asked my mother about my ancestors. She drew out a simple, small genealogy chart with only a few generations. As time marched on, both of my parents, along with all my grandparents, aunts and uncles, passed away. One day, I realized that there was no one that I could ask questions about ‘who’, ‘what’, or ‘where’ when it came to past history and earlier generations. My brother, Lee, had generated a genealogy of the Pritchett and Lundeen families in November, 1986. From this beginning, I am deeply indebted to him. I took what he had started and expounded on it. Fast forward to the present, almost 30 years later, with the advent of the computer and the internet, genealogical information is much easier to find! Henry Pritchett Cotten’s First Genealogy Tree [as drawn by his Mother, Judith Chandler Pritchett Cotten, ca. 1963.] Since my mother’s maiden name was Judith Chandler Pritchett, it seemed only natural that I should concentrate on my Pritchett lineage. However, this document not only includes the PRITCHETTs - but many, many, many more families that were responsible for my heritage; the Woodsons, Carrs, Wallers, Cousins, Chiles, Martins, Lygons, and Smiths - just to mention a few. ii Another early source of information was a single page of genealogy that was done for my mother, entitled “Woodson Story for Judy”. iii An underlying and exciting part about studying family history, is trying to picture what is happening during the times that our ancestors lived. Without exception, all of the early families came to the ‘New World’ by boat. For whatever reason, they left Europe to start a new life in America. There were distinct locations where they landed, settled, and spread out as generations multiplied. All during that time, there were struggles both political and economic. Against a background of various wars (French and Indian, the Revolutionary War of 1776, the War of 1812, and the Civil War), our ancestors survived and multiplied. When I was collecting genealogical data, there was a natural inclination to include as much information about parents and the children of related individuals as I could. After all, not only are all of these people my great-grandparents, but they also include my great uncles, great aunts, and cousins, albeit, many, many, many times removed. This volume, hopefully, will help you learn the various individuals that represent a composite of the families that eventually were responsible for Carr Waller Pritchett, Jr.. I will apologize in advance as the included notes for various individuals are, at times, disjointed, and do not follow a narrative. Some family members have page after page of interesting tid-bits while others have little or no information. Family history can be exciting as discovering a new planet or as boring as watching grass grow. It all depends on your perspective. There is also the issue of what to leave in and what to leave out? I have accumulated a plethora of information in the form of books, papers, notes, and photographs. My intent is to inform the reader of the history of our ancestors. When does too much information become less interesting and boring? Now, here is some scientific information. How many ancestors are in 24 generations? Each generation is a power of 2. That is, generation 1 is yourself. Generation 2 is your iv mother and father or 21 or 2 people. Generation 3 is your mother’s mother and father and your father’s mother and father or 22 which equals 4. So, for each generation: Generation Count/Generation Total Count 1 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 7 4 8 15 5 16 31 6 32 63 7 64 127 8 128 255 9 256 511 10 512 1,023 11 1,024 2,047 12 2,048 4,095 13 4,096 8,191 14 8,192 16,383 15 16,384 32,767 16 32,768 65,535 17 65,536 131,071 18 131,072 262,143 19 262,144 524,287 20 524,288 1,048,575 21 1,048,576 2,097,151 22 2,097,152 4,194,303 23 4,194,304 8,388,607 24 8,388,608 16,777,215 25 16,777,216 33,554,431 Unfortunately, this collection contains about 1,500 people, plus or minus a few hundred. So, I hope you are not disappointed! How This Document Is Formatted In the ancestry, each generation is a step back in time. The first generation has Carr Waller Pritchett, Jr. The second generation has only two people, his father and mother, Carr Waller Pritchett, Sr. and Elizabeth "Bettie" Susan Smith. The third generation has the four grandparents, etc. Normally, the numbering would follow the great-grandparents by generation; i.e., ancestors of generation 2 are numbered 2 & 3; generation 3 are numbered from 4 to 7, generation 4 is numbered from 8 to 15, generation 5 is numbered v from 16 to 31, etc. However, in this document, you will find that there are gaps in the numbering. Generation 7 should start with number 64 but starts with 46. This occurs whenever there was a duplication of ancestors because of intermarriage between cousins. Cousins Marrying Cousins Early in my ancestry line, Henry Smith Pritchett married his cousin, Ida Pritchett Williams. This meant, that in the genealogy numbering, you would find that the common grandparents for Henry Smith Pritchett and Ida Pritchett Williams were Henry Pritchett and Martha Waller. This meant that the ancestry Pritchett line “collapsed” at this point as the normal expansion for Ida Pritchett Williams ancestors are the same as Henry Smith Pritchett’s beginning with their grandparents. This was not the first time that cousins had married cousins in my history. It also happened on my mother's side of the family with the Morrills, Abbots, Farnums, and Chandlers. In early America, it was somewhat common place to marry cousins, as there were fewer people from which to choose, as well as the fact that many people did not live as long and remarried several times. It reminds me of that joke about going to an Alabama family reunion to find a date!! As you go through this document, I usually placed more information about an individual’s family at the beginning of that family line, rather than the first time that you see the name. So, it may be several generations back in time before you get to more information about a particular family line. Good examples are the Woodsons and Wallers. Be forewarned, the document that you have in your hand is only as good as the sources that I used to generate the data. When I first started, I was a novice in the ‘Art of Genealogy’! I still am! Many times, I found information and would enter it into the computer data base without putting down references of where it came from or who provided it. For this, I apologize to those people in advance. I am sure that I have directly copied information from websites and published books without giving the author his or her just recognition or getting his or her permission. However, I have tried to vi document as much of the information by showing websites and published information for the records that I did have. If I missed giving credit to someone, it was not done on purpose or for personal gain! If any of those that would like credit for their efforts would contact me, I will be sure to give them their just recognition. In closing, I would like to thank several people by name for the help with this reference; my brother, Lee (Wallace A., Jr.) for doing the initial ground-breaking work; and, in particular, Jan Pritchett-Litvin for sending me a lot of useful family information and the genealogy tree back to King Edward III. This book is a work in progress. There is still a lot to add, like information about the lineage to King Edward III. However, most of the really, old family information can be found in many history books and even on line, e.g. Wikipedia. I also invite, you, the reader to help me with this. If you have any changes, additions, criticism, photos, etc., please let me know. I will do my best to incorporate them into the next revision. Henry Pritchett Cotten, August 2016 [email protected] vii PRITCHETT Coat of Arms I would hate to mislead the reader by thinking that there was a ‘Coat of Arms’ for the Pritchetts. There are several business that will sell you one – such as in the illustrations below. How genuine are they? I really do not know. Spelling variations of this family name include: Pritchard, Prichard, Prickard and others. First found in Glamorganshire (Welsh: Sir Forgannwg), a region of South Wales, anciently part of the Welsh kingdom of Glywysing, where they were seated from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D. Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Charles Pritchard who settled in Virginia in 1663; along with Daniel, Thomas and Pallardary; William Pritchard settled in Maryland in 1734; Thomas Pritchard settled in New England in 1679. viii Woodson Coat of Arms from – Historical Genealogy of the Woodsons and Their Connections Compiled by Henry Morton Woodson, 1915 ix Ancestors of Carr Waller PRITCHETT Jr.

The notable American resistance to educated professionalism is explored and placed in its historic, multinational framework. Throughout, the limitations of various theoretical approaches to analyzing professionalism are addressed and more realistic methods of defining professionalism in context are offered. The field of school librarianship is examined as a domain where professionalism and appropriate LIS education are sustained to some degree in law and regulation but face challenges at the system and building level.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 443 765 SO 031 860 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE U.S. Medical Education Reformers Abraham Flexner (1866-1959) and Simon Flexner (1863-1946). PUB DATE 2000-00-00 NOTE 12p. PUB TYPE Reports Descriptive (141) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Biographies; *Educational Change; *Educational History; Higher Education; *Medical Education; *Professional Recognition; *Social History IDENTIFIERS *Flexner (Abraham); Johns Hopkins University MD; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT This paper (in the form of a dialogue) tells the stories of two members of a remarkable family of nine children, the Flexners of Louisville, Kentucky. The paper focuses on Abraham and Simon, who were reformers in the field of medical education in the United States. The dialogue takes Abraham Flexner through his undergraduate education at Johns Hopkins University, his founding of a school that specialized in educating wealthy (but underachieving) boys, and his marriage to Anne Laziere Crawford. Abraham and his colleague, Henry S. Pritchett, traveled around the country assessing 155 medical schools in hopes of professionalizing medical education. The travels culminated in a report on "Medical Education in the United States and Canada" (1910). Abraham capped his career by creating the first significant "think tank," the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey. The paper also profiles Simon Flexner, a pharmacist whose dream was to become a pathologist. Simon, too, gravitated to Johns Hopkins University where he became chief pathologist and wrote over 200 pathology and bacteriology reports between 1890-1909. He also helped organize the Peking Union Medical College in Peking, China, and was appointed Eastman Professor at Oxford University.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.

  • Descent of St. Maur and Seymour Families
    -390- ST MAUR AND SEYMOUR DESCENT OF ST.MAUR FAMILY OF CO.MONMOUTH AND SEYMOUR FAMILY OF HATCH, CO.SOMERSET by Paul C. Reed1 ABSTRACT This Seymour family became renowned in the person of Jane Seymour, who died twelve days after the birth of Edward, the only legitimate son of Henry VIII to survive infancy. It is not surprising that the origins of this family came under the focus of the earliest English historians and genealogists, including Camden, Dugdale and Vincent. Brydges and others later attempted fuller accounts in their works on the peerage, but the paucity of surviving records has allowed errant conclusions and fictions to persist in the most widely available modern accounts. The purpose of this article is to present a fresh analysis of what survives and bring the subject up to current standards of scholarship. Foundations (2008) 2 (6): 390-442 © Copyright FMG and the author As is the case with so many medieval English families, our knowledge of the earliest generations of the Seymours in the century and a half after Domesday is vague and uncertain. The earliest definitely traceable ancestor appears in record because of his acquisition of land—he burst onto the scene through conquest. In a period when preserving the king’s peace would normally have forbad dispossessing anyone of a manor (whether they had been in legitimate possession or not), at this specific time it furthered the interests of the crown to have Englishmen displace the native Welsh. Even after the family acquired heritable land, the descent of the male line through the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries is not entirely certain because of the scant survival of documents concerning manors and lands in the Marches of Wales.

  • THE Nicrloi.J,S FAMILY of VIRGINIA, 1722-1820 Victor Dennis Golladay
    THE NICrlOI.J,S FAMILY OF VIRGINIA, 1722-1820 Victor Dennis Golladay Waynesboro, Virginia B.S., Madison College, l�b3 M.A., University of Virginia, 1�69 A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate Faculty of the University of Virginia in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Corcoran Department of History University of Virginia June, 1973 ABSTRACT During the late colonial, revolutionary, and early national periods of Virginia history, the Nicholas family furnished the state and the new nation with leaders on all political levels. For example, Robert Carter Nicholas of Williamsburg held the high post of Treasurer of Virginia from 1766 to 1776, while his sons served in posts in three states -- Virginia, Kentucky, and New York -- and in the new national government as spokesmen for the Jeffersonian Republicans. Yet, after 1820 the Nicholases provided very few leaders of note, and any influence formerly held by the family died. The rise and fall of the Nicholas family provides an interesting insight into the social patterns of' Virginia's elite. In 1722, the founder of the family, George Nicholas of Manston, Dorset, was trans­ ported to Virginia for life in lieu of being hanged for forgery and counterfeiting. Despite his disgrace, George Nicholas quickly carved a place among Virginia's social elite. Using his English gentry back­ ground, Cambridge education, and slight medical training to maximum advantage, he styled himself a physician, married the eldest daughter of Virginia's wealthiest planter, acquired large tracts of Piedmont land, and ultimately served in the House of Burgesses as the representative of the College of William and Mary.

  • Liturgical Plan
    February 2019 ELY CATHEDRAL LITURGICAL PLAN Joyfully proclaiming the love of God in worship, outreach, welcome and care Foreword from the Introduction to the Cathedral’s Strategy by the Dean There is a lot of research being undertaken around Cathedrals and their work. The most recent, Spiritual Capital (Theos and Grubb Institute 2012) speaks of Cathedrals not only being admired for their architectural, historical and aesthetic appeal but also for having a significant impact on, and significance for, English life. This research concludes that cathedrals are uniquely placed to reach beyond boundaries, to communicate a sense of the sacred and to enable and sustain a range of connections, connections that extend wide into the local and regional communities and across the Diocese. The report points out that Cathedrals are recognised and valued as Christian institutions and this in a culture that can be very wary of overt faith claims. The generosity, grace, hospitality and holiness that Cathedrals show in living out the message of Jesus Christ is widely respected and appreciated. In being welcoming and hospitable we should have no fear in being calmly confident about our vision and core purpose. Chapter has a vision of Ely Cathedral as an outward looking community, engaging and responding to the challenges of the world around; bringing people to faith and making new disciples; and doing so through inspiring and transformative worship, engaging and challenging preaching, and a warm welcome and generous hospitality. Mark Bonney 1 February 2019 LITURGICAL PLAN 1. This liturgical plan seeks to record and explain current Cathedral liturgical practice and the theological understanding behind it.

  • Bishop Andrew Leads on Church Buildings
    Bishop Andrew leads on church buildings Bishop Andrew has been appointed as lead bishop for church and cathedral buildings. He shares the role with the Bishop of Bristol, the Rt Revd Viv Faull. The Archbishops of Canterbury and York announced the appointment of the two new lead bishops today [13th July]. Bishop Andrew, who is also a published author whose writing centres on themes of local and national identity, said: “I am honoured to share this new role with the Bishop of Bristol. “Our church buildings are a priceless legacy, close to the nation’s soul. I look forward to championing their vital place in public worship and community renewal, and to working with church, government and heritage bodies to assure their future.” The Church of England has around 16,000 church buildings and 42 cathedrals, of which more than 12,500 are listed. The lead Bishops support those who care for these buildings by speaking on relevant national issues and engaging in dialogue with the UK government and partner organisations. The Bishops jointly take over the role from the Bishop of Worcester, John Inge. The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell said: “We are delighted that Bishop Viv and Bishop Andrew have accepted this invitation. Their combined experience will be a blessing to those who care for and uphold our places of worship as beacons of faith in our communities, and in their important civic, heritage and educational roles. “We also wish to take the opportunity to thank Bishop John Inge for all he has contributed to this role.” Bishop Viv was Dean of York prior to her appointment as Bishop of Bristol and is a member of the House of Lords.

  • DESCENDANTS of BARTHOLOMEW JACOBY by HELENE
    DESCENDANTS OF BARTHOLOMEW JACOBY By HELENE. (JACOBY) EVARD 1955 MITCHELL-FLEMING PRINTING, INC. Greenfield, Ind. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The work which has gone into this book was begun years ago and has been built up by many people. As early as 1913 Professor Henry S. Jacoby, then collecting data for his "Jacoby Genealogy," infected Arthur E. Jacoby of Chicago with his genealogical enthusiasm. Pro­ fessor Jacoby sent Arthur a quantity of the blanks which he was using for gathering information from his own relatives; and from then until 1926 Arthur worked at getting our family statistics from all the groups who moved to Indiana, from those who later went west, and even from some of the Ohio relatives. My father, Elias J. Jacoby, and I caught this infection, also from Henry S. Jacoby, about 1918. We continued collecting the records of Ohio relatives, considerably helped by my father's brother, John, and his sister, Mrs. Elizabeth Aye. We also visited the southern branch in 1921, and later called upon the Pennsyl­ vania cousins, Father Francis Siegfried and Dave Heimbaugh and his nephew Lincoln. However in those years we concentrated more upon ancestral research, and sought local records in Reading, the Pine Grove region and eastern Maryland. We called in the professional help of Mrs. Steinmetz of Reading, Mr. Warren S. Ely of Doylestown, Miss Mollie Howard Ash of Elkton, and various others. But I was presently reduced to inaction by a severe illness and a slow recovery. It had been planned that I should write up our group, to be published in Henry S.
