I notices a couple of e-mail messages froom [email protected] and [email protected] talking about PRUETT. First of all What is the proper spelling in common use today? Is it Pruit, Pruett, Prewitt? Help! I have recently found A MRS. Sarah LEDBETTER that showed up in the 1820 Galatin Co, Il Census. I believe that this Sarah Ledbetter was the wife of a James Ledbetter who is the father of John Ledbetter b 1806 who married Elizabeth H. Wright on 10 April 1828 in Gallatin Co, IL. Apparently James Ledbetter died between 1818-1820 in Gallatin Co, Illinois. I also found a marriage record for a Sarah LEDBETTER b 1780-1790 to a Jacob PRUETT b 1770-1780. It appears that sometime between 1820-1830, Jacob Prewitt's wife died and on 9 March 1829 MRS. Sarah Ledbetter married Jacob Prewitt in Gallatin Co, Illinois. I have found Jacob Prewitt listed in the Gallatin County Census 1820, 1830, 1840. In 1850, they are in Saline County. I have also found a marriage record for a Jacob Prewitt to a Agnes RICHEY in Greene County, Tennessee on 12 March 1877. Is this the same Jacob Prewitt who married while on his way to Illinois? Can anyone associated with the Gallatin Co, Illinois PRUETT/PREWITT line help on this? HELP! Hal Ledbetter [email protected] Livingston, Texas
