Descendants
James and Judith Pritchard had 10 children:
Mary (1808-1885), m. Joseph Irwin.
John (1810-1885), m. Jane Steenson.
Ann (1811-1895), m. Thomas Stevenson (another Wakefield pioneer, arriving from Ireland in 1830).
Agnes, believed to have married a Duff in Ireland.
Joseph (b. 1815-19), m. Rosanna Campbell.
Thomas (1817-1906), m. Elvira Hamilton.
Andrew (1820-1879), m. Mary Edey.
James (1823-1884), m. Elizabeth "Eliza" Steenson (sister of Jane Steenson).
Sydney (b. 1828), m. Robert Magee.
Abraham Bratchett "Abie" (b. 1829), m. Agnes Clyde.
From past discussions with Fred Pritchard (grandson of Thomas & Elvira), however, it is Ian Pritchard's understanding that the "Agnes" appearing as a child of James and Judith was a relative of Elvira, and not a Pritchard at all.
In 1967 it was decided to prepare a Pritchard family history as a Centennial Project. However, work on the project proceeded slowly until Patrick Evans was introduced to the group. Pat undertook to correlate the available data, seek out new sources of information, and compile tables. His work was published as The Pritchards and related families, which was released to recognize the 50th annual family reunion, and the 150th anniversary of the family's arrival in Canada, in 1982. It was published by The Descendants of James and Judith Pritchard, and is now out of print. However, a scanned version is available on the Pritchard Reunion Facebook group, and many pages are available on this website, see 1982 Book.
Barrie Pritchard took over the role of family genealogist from Keith Lachance, who did a tremendous amount of work over the years in keeping the family records up to date. To inquire or provide information about the family tree, please contact Barrie at hb.pritchard@sympatico.ca.
Given that James and Judith had 95 grandchildren (see 3 generations), the complete family tree is large. To help later generations find themselves, genealogy records that include at least 4 generations are available online at:
Families of Wakefield-Rupert-Alcove (at Family Tree Maker
Pritchard/Johannsen/Kenney and Gatineau Families (at Rootsweb)
