My 4th great grandfather, Davis Pruett, appears on the 1840 census in district 846 of Cobb County. The census indicates a female age 40-50 in the household. I believe that is Mrs. Davis Pruett. The 1848 tax roles for Cobb County (Powder Springs District?) also list a Davis Pruet. I can't find an 1850 census record for Davis Pruett anywhere. However, the 1860 census shows Davis in Blount County, Alabama, as a widower. I don't know the name of Davis' wife. My speculation is that she died in Cobb County around 1855 and was buried there before the family moved on to Alabama. Would someone be so kind as to look in the Cobb County cemetery records for a woman with the last name of Pruet/Pruett/Pruit/Pruitt/Prewett/Prewitt, etc. who was buried about 1850 in Cobb County?
