Prewitt 1800 N.W. 81st St. Des Moines, IA 50325 FAMILY HISTORY URRARY 35 NORTH WEST TEMPLE 1995 SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH 84150 NORTH CAROLINA State - 1789 On July 4, 1584, two English explorers, commissioned by Sir Walter Raleigh, dropped anchor off the coast of the region now present-day North Carolina. Although the region was inhabited by hostile Indians, they reported favorably on it, and as a result, a colonizing expedition set out the following year. On Aug. 17, 1585, a colony was established on Roanoke Island, but abandoned a year later. On July 22, 1587, another colony commissioned by Raleigh landed on the island. The colony of 121 men was led by John White, whose granddaughter, Virginia Dare, bom on Aug. 18, 1587, was the first child of English parents born in America. John White went back to England for supplies and returned in 1590 to find that the colony had completely vanished. The only trace of the colony was the word "Croatoan" found carved on a tree. In 1629, the land South of Virginia, which was called Carolina, was granted to Sir Robert Heath by Charles I, but the proprietor failed to make use of his land In 1663, Charles II granted the Carolina territory to eight proprietors, and they divided the grant into North and South Carolina. The first permanent settlement in North Carolina territory was established in 1653, when groups of settlers came south from Virginia to occupy the section north of Albemarle Sound. Prior to the American Revolution, large groups moved down the Shenandoah Valley to settle in Virginia, and many continued on into North Carolina, settling in the western section of the state. North Carolina was made a State in 1789. The Privits are a well known North Carolina family and they have retained that spelling and pronounce their name as privit, the shrub often used as a hedge. Privits come from a parish in Hants, near Petersfield, England. The Privitt's were among the first settlers of North Carolina. John and William Privett, whose destination was "Virginia", which at that time could have meant either Virginia or Carolina, were listed as leaving Bristol about 1680 (Bowman "Bristol to America 1654-1685", p. 493). The fate of William Privett is unknown, whether he died in passage, as many did, or returned to England, is pure speculation, but we do find records of John Privett beginning in 1694 in North Carolina. It is probably from this John Privett that the Privitt's of North Carolina owe their origin. Privits are found in Chowan, Craven, Iredell, Wake and Wayne Counties. THE MIGRATION SOUTH THE MIGRATION SOUTH In the 1760's, (W22) John Pruitt moved to Granville Co., NC from Halifax Co., VA, and remained (Lineage in Granville County). About 1767, the children of Thomas Prewitt, Sr. of Halifax Co., VA, migrated through North Carolina on their way to upper South Carolina. Most of his children only passed through North Carolina, but some stayed in North Carolina for a few years and left records in Rowan, Guilford, Rockingham, and Stokes Counties. Most prominent was Thomas' son, (HI 5) William Prewitt and wife Judith Dudley, who may have had as many as thirteen sons. We now know of ten sons: (HI 51) David Prewitt, b. 1746 Brunswick Co., VA; m.

About 1777, (H53) Joseph Pruitt, Sr. moved to Wilkes Co., NC from Pittsylvania Co., VA., and remained (lineage in Wilkes County). In 1788, (H52) Henry Pruett and sons, (H521) Joseph Puett, Sr. and (523) John Pruett, moved to Burke Co., NC from Pittsylvania Co., VA (lineage in Burke & Cleveland Counties) In 1784, (H415) Charles Prewitt, from Henry Co., VA, was recorded on the Richmond Co., NC Census.

He only stayed a short time on his way to Williamson Co., Tennessee. About 1799, (H552) William Pruett moved to Rutherford (later Cleveland) Co., NC from Bedford Co., Va., and remained (Lineage in Cleveland County). ALAMANCE CO.

Brussels PRINTED FOR MELINE, CANS A.ND C"., EOILEVARD DE WATERLOO, Zi. M DCCC XXXIX. MR V. un:ve PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION. To assist in the detection of spurious and the correction of inaccu- rate pedigrees, is one of the purposes of the present publication, in which respect the first Volume has been of acknowledged utility. The two together, it is hoped, will form a comprehensive and tole- rably correct Register of Pedigrees. It will be observed that some of the Mares which appeared in the last Supplement (whereof this is a republication and continua- tion) stand as they did there, i. e. without any additions to their produce since 1813 or 1814. — It has been ascertained that several of them were about that time sold by public auction, and as all attempts to trace them have failed, the probability is that they have either been converted to some other use, or been sent abroad. If any proof were wanting of the superiority of the English breed of horses over that of every other country, it might be found in the avidity with which they are sought by Foreigners. The exportation of them to Russia, France, Germany, etc. for the last five years has been so considerable, as to render it an object of some importance in a commercial point of view.

  • Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints Representations: H E a Lt H , Di Sa Bi L I T Y, Culture and Society
    Disabled Bodies in Early Modern Spanish Literature: Prostitutes, Aging Women and Saints REPRESENTATIONS: HEALT H , DI SA BI L I T Y, CULTURE AND SOCIETY Series Editor Stuart Murray, University of Leeds Robert McRuer, George Washington University This series provides a ground-breaking and innovative selection of titles that showcase the newest interdisciplinary research on the cultural representations of health and disability in the contemporary social world. Bringing together both subjects and working methods from literary studies, film and cultural studies, medicine and sociology, ‘Representations’ is scholarly and accessible, addressed to researchers across a number of academic disciplines, and prac- titioners and members of the public with interests in issues of public health. The key term in the series will be representations. Public interest in ques- tions of health and disability has never been stronger, and as a consequence cultural forms across a range of media currently produce a never-ending stream of narratives and images that both reflect this interest and generate its forms. The crucial value of the series is that it brings the skilled study of cultural narratives and images to bear on such contemporary medical concerns. It offers and responds to new research paradigms that advance understanding at a scholarly level of the interaction between medicine, culture and society; it also has a strong commitment to public concerns surrounding such issues, and maintains a tone and point of address that seek to engage a general audience.

  • March 2016 PS11 Paper
    MARCH 2016 VOLUME VIII PHOTO BY NANDINI BAINS a rancher four years ago. Argentina is in South America. One day, while the rancher was searching for one of his lost sheep, he stumbled upon an old and mysterious bone. Once the ranch- er found the bone, he went to a muse- um and asked paleontologists to help him look for other dinosaur bones. Of course they said, “yes,” because there have been lots of dinosaur finds in Ar- gentina and one bone usually comes along with other bones. When they were finished, not only did they find one Titanosaur, but they found six of them in the same area. In order to get them out, they had to build a new road, so all the bulldoz- ers, tractors, cranes, etc. could travel from the main road to the site and back. This large machinery was used to dig down and around faster. Then, once they got near the bones, they had to transition to small tools, like small picks, chisels and dust brushes, because they might break the very fragile bones by crushing them with big tools. They knew when to tran- sition because the outer layer’s color and texture changed. The Titanosaur was the biggest animal to ever walk on the plan- Terrific Titanosaur et.
