This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Pritchartt, Swink Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SBC.2ACI/345.1.2 Message Board Post: Barrett, I was the original poster of this article - my interest was in the name PRITCHARTT as in Miss Cora Pritchartt mentioned. Since posting the article, I can now identify many folks with only initials listed, however the names you mentioned did not appear. As I have followed the life of Cora Pritchartt, age 12, in this article - the civil war destroyed this area (Centerville), and claimed all her siblings. Cora Pritchartt later wrote an article "Where the dead are buried" as she probably witnessed horrifying events first hand. I will try to repost the same article and fill in complete names where only initials were used. I know this does not bring down your brickwall, but perhaps explains more about the area. On another note, have you checked the cemetery index listings? There are quite a few Swinks buried in Fairfax County. Will check on this as I have all the volumes and post. Anne
