According to Judge T.A. Pritchett of Decatur, Speaking of James Pritchett and Elizabeth Waller, "In 1800 he sold his possessions with view of going to Kentucky to find a home. He died before this was done, however, and advised his family to carry out the plans he has made. James Waller, a brother of the widow, went with the family to Hopkins County. They made the trip in a wagon. Eight the children lived with the mother and all raised families of their own. Most of the descendents of the family now live at Madisonville, Hopkins County, KY., and last year I stood before 500 members of the family."
