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.
