I have not come across a Margaret Pruitt dau. of Samuel and Elizabeth Pruitt, nor that Hawker should be Hocker. This might be important new information, however, your "researcher" should have and be able to provide the source of this information. What is the documentation? Proof is what we need. Another thing to remember is that spelling was very phonetic in those days and names were spelled the way the person writing the document heard it. We all know the many ways to spell Pruitt.

I have just this week received some information from a researcher, stating that SAMUEL PRUITT 1, and his wife ELIZABETH HAWKER were parents of MARGARET, born in the early 1720's as shown in the 1790 Census, and that she married Phillip Hocker. My research does not show a daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth by that name. Are there any PRUITT researchers that could give me a correct answer regarding this matter? (This researcher also says that the name HAWKER, really is HOCKER.) > > Please advise, > June Waymire Pruitt
