There has been some discussion on Francis Marion Prewitt and his siblings/ancestors on the Pruitt mail list. You may want to join that list if not already on it and send the same query. (My paternal grandmother was the granddaughter of George Washington Pruitt and his 1st wife Nancy Melvina Bradshaw; therefore I'm researching both families too.)
