Holbrook line: Roger Pritchard, Immigrant

I wish I knew more about Roger Pritchard.  There is a general sense that he or his ancestors may have come from Wales. If that is the case, at one time he might have been known as "ap Richard" (son of Richard) but that could be more generations back.  If he wasn't from Wales, he was from somewhere near Wales, and he was born about 1600.

So,we don't know his home, we don't know his parents, we know his first wife only by the name of "Frances", and we don't know when he arrived in Connecticut.  We also don't know whether he was in Massachusetts first.  Robert Charles Anderson uses an immigration date of 1640 but Meredith B. Colket says that he arrived in 1636.  He arrived with his wife and their three children  It's not clear why other children were not born to the couple, but perhaps Frances was simply past child-bearing age. 

Nathaniel was in Wethersfield, Ct in 1640, then went up the Connecticut River to Springfield, Massachusetts in 1643, where he received land grants, and was in Milford, where he stayed, in 1653. He was granted freeman status on April 13, 1648, and he joined the Milford church in 1654.. Frances died in 1651 and two years later he married Elizabeth Prudden, and they had two children together.  Elizabeth died in 1666 and Roger died in 1670, both in Milford. 

These few facts and guesses are all that we currently know of Roger Pritchard.  I hope someone reading this has more information. I'd like to know his origin, his parents, and his occupation.  I've not found his will yet so that leaves a lot of information missing.  However, we do know he was here, and we know he contributed his roots to the family tree, even though the roots are missing at present.
