Research Note
There are no records that state this Benjamin's parentage. I have connected Benjamin Pritchard (1754-1825) and Anna (Vaughn) Pritchard (1759-1809) as this Benjamin's parents based on two things.
- On a DAR application, Benjamin is listed as a child of Benjamin and Anna. No one has submitted an application with Benjamin as a child, so there is no proof.
- In the Prentiss Cemetery in Nelson, Portage County, Ohio, there are two photos. This Benjamin's Find A Grave: Memorial #73930147 shows the photo of his tombstone. The photos on his father's Find A Grave: Memorial #44545386 show the Benjamin's tombsone in the family group.
