Roger Pritchard (1600-1671) was apparently born and raised and married in England. He arrived in Boston Harbor in 1636 with his wife Frances and 3 children. Roger Pritchard and his family moved to the "new jurisdiction" of Wethersfield, CT in 1640. He witnessed the 15 November 1640 will of Joyce Ward there and signed his name "Roger Prichat". By 1643 Roger Pritchard and his family were at Springfield, MA where he received lots in the first and second land divisions. He received 5 acres on Agawam River on 23 February 1643 and 23 acres more on 06 April 1643 and a "large meadow" on 07 May 1645. In 1646 he was listed with 28 acres and assessed 7 shillings on it. He was at about this time on a list of 18 men to raise 55 pounds for the minister's maintenance. On 13 April 1648 Roger Pritchard was made a Freeman of Massachusetts Bay Colony. First wife Frances Pritchard died in Springfield, MA on 09 March 1651. By 1653 widower Roger Pritchard had moved to Milford, CT where he married second to widow Elizabeth Prudden (married first to William Slough in 1644 and had 2 children, William Slough was excommunicated from the church for "horrid offense" and executed at New Haven, CT in 1653 for "horrible depravity"). Roger Pritchard joined the Milford, CT church on 28 May 1654 and Elizabeth Prudden Slough Pritchard joined the Milford, CT church on 08 September 1644 and they had 3 children born at Milford, CT. Roger and Elizabeth Pritchard had both died by 1671 leaving minor aged sons Joseph Pritchard (age 17) and Benjamin Pritchard (age 15). TRADITION suggests that the boys were perhaps then with their Uncle William Pritchard (brother to Roger Pritchard?) who died in the Indian massacre (King Philips War) at Brookfield, MA along with his son Samuel Pritchard and others on 02 August 1675. The nephews being there for this can not be verified. It is accepted that Joseph Pritchard (1654-1675/6) died during King Philips War. Samuel and Ann (Prudden, sister of Elizabeth Prudden Pritchard) Colby were appointed to administer the estate of Joseph Pritchard and to act as guardians of Benjamin Pritchard (born 1656).

Daughter Alice Pritchard (1624-1692) married at Springfield, MA in 1645 to William Bradley (1610-1691) and they settled at New Haven, CT and had 8 children there.
