Surnames: Pritcher, Scott
I do not know if I have answered your query or not, but here it goes. I am Kenneth White, great-grandson of Susan Pritcher Scott. Susan was married to Jacob Scott; both died during the mid-1890's and are buried at Corinth. Susan's daughter-- my grandmother Lillie Scott White-- is buried there also. Ellen Pritcher Weatherford, Joanna Pritcher Weatherford, and Henry Pritcher are Susan's siblings. I do have a copy of the will of Susan's mother, Mary Pritcher. The 1880 census lists a Sallie Pritcher as a young child. In the 1850 Mary's husb and is listed by initials-- N.G., I believe. The 1860 or the 1870 census lists other Pritchers with her as well-- possibly additional children. The falling out you mentioned I was told by my grandfather Revelee White (husband of Lillie Scott) was the result of the fact that Susan, Ellen, and Joanna all married men of Native American ancestry, at least in part. Other spellings besides Pritcher are Preacher, Pricher, Prichard. How did you find out Mary's last name was Douglas? I have her coming from North Carolina.

I am so glad to hear from you! I should check my posts more often. My name is Karen Pritcher Webb. My father is Nathan, his father was OD, OD's father was Owen, and Owen's father was Samuel Albright Pritcher. I grew up on the farm built by Owen Pritcher at the turn of the century, just 1/2 mile from Corinth Baptist Church. I have been trying for so long to find out where Samuel came from, and how the families are all related. I have also heard the Native American story, but wasn't sure who it was that married the Native American(s). This is what I have found out so far, from census reports, visits to the SC Dept of Archives, and to the Carolinia Library at the USC campus.
I have census reports from 1800, 1820, and 1830 listing a Conrad Pricker/Preacher/Pracher in St. James Goose Creek, Charleston County. I have a copy of the will of Conrod Pricher (notice the spelling is always different), of St. James Goose Creek, which leaves most of his belongings to his wife, Monen Pricher. The will also lists children Daniel Elisha, Martha, Elizabeth, Henry, Thomas, and Benjamin. The will was written in 1823 and proved in 1835. I have a 1840 census report for a Morning Pricher in St. Matthews parish. The 1850 census has a MG Pricher living in Orangeburg district. She has with her a 17 yo son named Jacob. I also have a newspaper clipping that says that Mournin Pricher married James Sweat of Orangeburg district in 1851. I feel that this has to be Monen/Mournin that was widowed from Conrad. The other people you referred to were N.R. and Mary Pricher. N.R. appears only in the 1850 census. I have a newspaper clipping that tells of Nathan Pricher who died in 1853. I have seen tombstones in the area for both David and Daniel Pricher, listed as the sons of Nathan and Mary A. Pricher. Both of the boys died in the 1870's. Interestingly, both had been founding members of Corinth Baptist Church, along with Mary, but Daniel had been expelled for "unchristian and highly immoral conduct." This is on the record books at Corinth. The names of the girls, Susan, Ellen, and Joanna, are not on any records at Corinth. What I believe (but cannot prove) is that Samuel, Nathan, and Jacob were all sons of Conrod and Mournin. I think that Nathan and Mary only had 2 children, David and Daniel. I think that Jacob, youngest child of Conrad and Mournin, also married a Mary. I believe that this Mary was the mother of Ellen, Susan, Joanna, and Henry. I cannot explain why Mary, Susan, Ellen, Joanna, and Henry are on census reports without Jacob being listed as well. Henry Pricher's death certificate lists his parents as Jacob Pritcher and Lizzie Douglas (maiden name). Ellen Pritcher Weatherford's death certificate lists her parents as Jacob Pritcher and Mary M. Douglas. Of interest, Mary and her girls are on a census report as being neighbors with a J. Stoudemire. This man married my great-great grandmother, Regina Blewer Pritcher, after her husband Samuel died. J Stoudemire's daughter, Rebecca, was married to Samuel and Regina's son, Emilious Albright Pritcher. Also, to tie in Conrod Pricher with all of this, Regina Blewer was born in St. James Goose Creek, which is where she would have met her husband, Samuel (who I think is the son of Conrad). I know that a lot of this is speculation. I have lots of facts but need a way to tie them together. I hope that you can make sense of my ramblings, and that I have helped you in some way. Let me know what you think! My personal email is linz777@earthlink.net. Have a good day! Karen

My grt-g'ma was Florence Dorothy Preacher, born in 1855, and if my research is right, she was Wm A Preacher's older sister. I am still trying to trace the family. Their parents were Wm Preacher & Ann Ferebee but I can't get past that. Florence D. P. Lewis is buried here in Panama City FL, having died in 1931.

Any help in tracing back would be appreciated.
