GENEALOGY NOTE: The following quotation is from the extensive Jones/Prettyman... family genealogy by D. Mitchell Jones. Alas, the entire genealogy was taken off the web after his death in the mid-2000s. As Mitch always allowed other genealogists to cite his work generously, I have copied this citation verbatim to "keep it alive". His work was very-well sourced but alas, those were not copied.
