When I was two years old, my brother John Pritchard was born in South Carolina. He was a noble
hearted, generous and fine looking boy and was devotedly attached to Mother. Kind and helpful to Father also he worked with him in the farm and his mechanical genius enabled him to be particularly useful in the mills of which Father always had several in operation. He was never much from home excepting when at school at Philadelphia and Athens.

He married Mr. John Carmichael's daughter, Sarah, a beautiful young lady who had been raised by Sister Mary. They had many children, but raised only six. He moved to many parts of Georgia and always built a mill, a church and a school house if he found none on his place. His wife died in 1851, only forty-one years old. He married again in a few years Miss Mary Olive of Augusta, whom he had addressed before his first marriage and who made him a true devoted wife through the many moves of the troublous (sic) years of the Civil War and until his death at the old home place, Waleska, on the Etowah River near Rome, Georgia.

The Federals burned twenty-eight buildings there for him with other depredations and caused them to refugee several times. At one time, near Marietta, they had placed the rope around his neck and would have hung him but for the prayers of his carriage driver, Ephraim (and the other servants) but who later on left him to follow the Federals. In 1861 after the first battle of Manassas, he buried his son, Oswell Bones, by the side of his mother. His oldest son, John C. married the third year after the war, Mary Miller of Augusta and he came in his feebleness and suffering to the marriage saying he had had his last wish gratified when he saw John marry Mary. Two weeks afterward on June 13th 1868 sitting on the foot of his couch he quietly passed away.

He was a devoted church member and Elder in the Presbyterian Church. His was the third burial in the up country Eve graveyard at Waleska which he had made sacred ground when he buried his wife Sarah and son Oswell there. Waleska is now known as Eve's Station and has been in the possession of his grandchildren by John and Mary till a year ago (1906)."

"I next removed to Bartow County, near Kingston to be near Brother John, bought a plantation adjoining his on the Etowah River and lived there ten years." ®1893
