Is anyone researching the following family? My 2nd Great Grandmother was Malinda Prewitt/Pruitt. She was born ca 1845 KY. She married George Rice Hyden, I have no idea when or where yet. Prior to her marriage I located her on the 1850 Whitley Co, KY census age 5, with her father John Prewitt b ca 1804. Also in the household were her sisters, Mary 12, Jemima 8 and Julia 3 (not sure of this name). Included also was Jemima age 75 born VA, who was John's mother. By 1860 Malinda is age 14, living with James Maine and family, her sister Jemima is age 16 and in the household of John Lawson and family, both in So. America Twsp. Whitley Co, KY. Does anyone know the maiden name of John's mother or the name of his wife? Where was his wife at the time the 1850 census was taken? Where was he by 1860 and why were the children found in other households by 1860? Were the Lawson and Maine families connected to this line of Prewitts? Thanks, Radine
