For instance, A general search for Uriah Pratt at Ancestry.com returns only 4 Uriah Pratt's on the 1841 census for the whole of England. Only 2 are returned for the whole of any English census after that. Additionally, almost all of the Uriah Pratt's appearing in official records from England, come from the Fens of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire. Therefore, it seems plausible that they might descend from a common origin. For that reason, while without specific connection's, our database contains information from Pratt families which utilized the given name "Uriah" and which resided in the Fens of Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire during the late 18th and the early 19th centuries.

     This Griffith Dickerson is probably the Griffith Dickerson who appeared on the census of 7 August 1820 in Scott County, Virginia; The Scott County entry provived the fallowing with an authors guess as to who the indiviuals could have been: Free White Persons - Males: under 10 (Thomas, Silas, James), 10-15 (William), 45 over (Griffith). - Females: under 10 (Martha, Jane, ?), 10-15 (?, ?), 16-25 (Sarah), 26-44 (Rebecca).⁶

     He and his family must have left Virginia for Kentucky not long after 1830 census. They may have first spent some time in Whitley County Kentucky, because their grandson, Griffith Steele (Alexander and Sarah's son), was born there in 1832. They migrated to Floyd County Kentucky about 1837. According to VanHoose, they settled on John's Creek about 4 or 5 miles above the VanHoose homestead in Floyd County.

     In 1838, Griffith and his son, Silas made a trip to western Missouri to look for a place to settle. Silas remained in Missouri (near the Glasconda River, a tributary of the Missouri) while Griffith returned to Kentucky to get the family. Silas was never heard from again.⁸
     Circa May 1839, The VanHoose and Steele families sold out what property they had, built a small boat and went west. Their travel west was by river and first took them north on the Big Sandy River to the Ohio River. VanHoose described waiting for the Sandy to rise enough to allow them clear potential obstacles. Then they went west on the Ohio to the Mississippi. Then down on the Mississippi at least as far as the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri. The VanHoose family, including Giffith Dickerson's son James who had married Rachael VanHoose, must have continued south on the Mississippi to the Arkansas River. The VanHoose group would have gone up the Arkansas River north west through the Red River Valley to Washington County, Missouri. While the Dickerson-Steele's fallowed the Missouri north and west to there final homes in Jackson County Missouri.⁸

     The story of the Dickerson travels, the marriage of their daughter, Sarah, to Alexander Steele, their migration west to Jackson County Missouri, James Dickerson marriage to Rachael VanHoose are all documented in an essay "Reminiscences of Bygone Years" by Zachariah Van Hoose (Published by the Fayetteville, Ark, Historical Society (Ark). James Dickerson and the Van Hoose, Evans and Mankins families had settled in Washington County, Arkansas. Despite the distance, contact between the two groups must have been maintained because in 1858 Griffith Steele (Eliza Laura's ("Gram" father) traveled from Missouri to Washington County Arkansas to marry and bring his first wife, "Pike's" mother Mary Evans, back to Missouri.⁸
