Hmmmm the child John is listed in the 1870 US Census birth year about 1858 with the last
name as Pritchard along with my greatgrandfather William H., Emma J., Manda J., George W.
and a Francis. Democrat Twnshp, Carroll County, IND page 5 on the bottom of the page.
Harriet would have been 22 at the time of his birth and it states that John was born in
Indiana. My grandmother Ida Alberta Helfrick m. Othel Pritchard (William's son) said
that the family had owned/worked a large cattle farm but had gone bust due to hoof and
mouth disease which took the whole herd. I'm not sure how accurate this story is
because she was known to exaggerate quite a bit. Do you think the "W.H." stands
for William Hugh?
