Posted on: Avery Co. NC Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/NC/Avery/10462 Surname: Pritchard ------------------------- Thanks for the information. Do you have publication information for the book you mentioned? I am not familiar with it. Is is strictly Avery Co. or does it include surrounding counties? Does it mention whether he was a veteran of the Union or Confederate army? This gives me a whole new lead. Thanks so much.
