However, Samuel Pruitt, Jr. is in various court records in Franklin Co., GA, from the earliest times until his death. One set of continuing records starts in 1805 when he was ordered to have letters of administration on the estate of Joseph Prewett, deceased. Joseph was his younger brother. This continues in 1807 when he (surname spelled Prewett) was appointed as guardian of Phillip Prewett, Patsy (actual name Martha) Prewett, Tilman Prewett and Zachariah Prewett, orphans of Joseph (Japheth) Prewett. Samuel married Keziah Stokes Connally 15 Nov. 1814 in Franklin Co. She was the widow of Charles Connally. During the 1826 Sep. term of the Franklin Co. Court of Ordinary, Samuel was granted dismissal in respect to his guardianship of Levina Neal formerly Levina Conally orphan of C. Conally, dec. (Note that children in those days were considered orphaned even if the mother was still living. The mother of Phillip, Patsy, Tilman and Zachariah married Charles Toney shortly after the death of Joseph. Even though the children lived in the Toney household, Samuel Prewett was still their appointed their guardian.) Roger Pruitt
