According to Vincent Prichard, the name Prichard is from the Welsh "ap Richard" -- son of Richard.
Per sources at WikiTree, Thomas Pritchard was not Henry Thomas Pritchard. Further, per Find-A-Grave, this Thomas Prichard was not the Thomas Prichard of Nant Lleidiog, Gwynedd, Wales, a yeoman, who likely never came to America and was in St. Asaph, Denbighshire, Wales, in 1686 as an executor to his father's will. |
