PREWITT-PRUITT-NEWSLETTER no. 30, Jan. 1996, lists 67 variations of the spelling of the Prewitt/Pruitt/Pruett etc. names. Should all 67 variations of the spelling go in the title of a book ?
I am trying to find some information on the Pruett/Pruitt/Prewitt families that were from Spotsylvania Co. Va. I have found this families name spelled all three ways. John Pruett was in Spotslvaina Co. Va. 1780 ,1782 and in 1786. I believe he had a son Richard in 1778 in Va. Possibly in Spotsylvania Co. Va.? There is a Richard Pruett listed in the 1820 Spotsylvania Co. Va census. The family left there and ended up in Wilson Co. TN. Richard is listed in the 1830 Wilson Co. TN census. Richard Pruett/Pruitt/Prewitt had a son William A. Purett/Pruitt/Prewitt who married Armelia W. Smith 11-25-1840 in Wilson Co. TN. The 1850 Wilson Co Census lists the family of William Pruitt. William Pruitt 40 M Farmer 600 VA. Armelia 35 F TN. Frances L 8 F TN. Martha E 7 F TN. Richard O. 6 M TN. William J. 4 M TN. Martha E Puritt married John R. Davenport were my GGGrandparents. Does anyone know anything about this family? Richard may have been married to Franecs ??? Perhaps William Pruitt's grandmother was named Frances???? Always willing to accept corrections and any additional information on my Pruett/Pruitt/Prewitt Family. Would appreciate any help and it is always good to find other family descendents.
