SOURCE: Amy via e.mail 1999 to Sherrett Rae: Miss Prickett had two brothers, older than herself, stolen by the Indians, they were aged eight and four years. Their mother sent them to drive in their cows, the cow bell being heard but a few rods from the house, when the boys were picked up by some skulking savages;subsequently, the elder made his escape and returned to his home. All efforts to recapture the younger boy were unsuccessful; in fact nothing was ever known of his fate, until his voluntary return many years after. He stated that he had been carried away, and adopted by a chief, whose daughter he had married, had forgotten his name and never knew where his people lived, until the chief, upon his dying pallet, told him who he was and where he would find his own people, whom he immediately visited, but was so thoroughly inured to the life, habits and customs of the people of his adoption that he preferred them to those of his birth, although after obtaining positive knowledge of his identity, he educated his children, namely, two sons, who became civilized and good citizens.

ISBN 1-55613-905-5 Copyright: 1990 Melba Pender Zinn NOTE: Monongalia county, Virginia (now West Virginia). was created from the District of West Augusta in 1776, and acquired by annexation additional small parts of West Augusta in 1779 and 1780; it subsequently became the parent of several modern counties. The county court records were destroyed in a fire in 1796, so the only records surviving from that early period are those that were filed with the District Court which served Monongalia, as well as Harrison, Randolph, and Ohio counties, and other counties as they were formed. This volume contains abstracts of all the court records found in the early records of that District Court. The court records consist of loose papers filed in numbered envelopes, and are available on microfilm. They include some county records for all the above names counties, as well as some records from the Superior Court. It is probable that some Monongalia records appear in the files of other District and County courts. These abstracts name all the people mentioned in the records, and give the essence of the case. The cases deal predominantly with civil matters such as bad debts, slander, trespass, and disputes overland and the settlement of estates; great numbers of people are named, and relationships were given where it was relevant to the case. The following might be of the same family and have included it for further study. 69a - 1800, District Court, Monongalia County. 'Nehemiah Harp swore that James Jeff, John Bowner, Jr., Grace Crossman, Patrick Sinah and Mary Vancisco (later Cisco), material witnesses to a particular fact in a suit now pending in the District Court wherein said Harp is plaintiff and James West is defendant and in a suit pending in same court wherein he cannot safely go to court without their testimony, he has cause to believe, from conservation (conversation) with them, that they are about to remove as not to be able to attend the trial,' 29 October 1800. James West swore he had cause to believe that James PRICKETT, Jacob Lucas and John Cisco, material witnesses for him, were about to remove out of the Commonwealth. 27 October 1800. 75b - 1802, District Court, Monongalia County. Three trials regarding fighting and one testimony also in this file ---- 'We the Grand Jury present Peter Parker and his wife Martha, she being the wife of Young Philips and married to said Philips about two years and a half ago and since married to said Parker within one month last past and we suppose her former husband yet living the jury conceive that Robinson Lucas and JACOB PRICKETT would be witness to the former marriage and Joseph Laylock and Ephraim Sayres to the latter,' Wm. Haymond, foreman.
