Kintzing Pritchette - need photo



Kintzing Pritchette

      1850
Kintzing Pritchette was acting Governor in the Oregon Territory for only
two months in 1850.

He's rather a vague figure in Oregon history. A native of Philadelphia,
born June 24, 1800, Pritchette was sent to Oregon by President Polk as
secretary of the Territory, serving from April 9, 1849, to  Sept. 18,
1850. He had previously served for two Years as the last secretary of
Michigan Territory before its admission to the Union in 1837.

Does anyone have a photograph or know of a location that might be
checked?
