BYRD PRUITT & NANCY DYER THEIR DESCENDANTS

By Richard A. Prewitt PRUITT

Some say the family was an armorial family and bore arms: "Azure a Chevron between three lions rampant Or". The motto means: "Loyal and Trustworthy". The fighting man of the Middle Ages wore a metal suit of armor for protection. Since this suit of armor included a helmet that completely covered the head, a knight in full battle dress was un­ recognizable. To prevent friend from attacking frienddurin g the heat of battle, it became necessary for each knight to somehow identify himself. Many knights accomplished this by painting colorful patterns on their battle shields. It is impossible to date with any precision the time when coats of arms were first used, but it is generally agreed that heraldry originated in western Europe in the 12th century. The name, PRUITT, is spelled variously: Pruett, Prewet, Prewitt, etc., all thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "pryte", the meaning of which was: that of which is justly proud, self respect, etc.. Bardsley's book gives the etymology of Pruitt as coming fromAnglo-Saxo n "prut", meaning: haughty or arrogant. It is interesting to note that in both England and America, the name is pronounced the same (Pru-itt) no matter how it is spelled.

Records of the family have been found in England as early as the 13th century. In England in 1202, Mathew Pruet was listed in the "Pipe Rolls" (PH. Reney, Diet, of British Surnames, London, 1958, p. 259). In 1249, It was found that William Pruwet and Adam, his son, did damage to the King's property in Winchester (Inquest Calendar, Vol. II, p. 127). On Dec 12, 1251 (The Feast of St. Gregory), the Earl of Derby released Reginald Pruet and his issue and their lands and holdings from "servitutem" and made them freemen (Vol. I, p. 327, Charter Rolls, Henry HI). In 1273, Andrew and William Pruet were mentioned in the "Hundred Rolls of Cambridge". In 1275, Henry Pruet was pardoned a twelve shilling finefo r contempt (Close Rolls, Edward I, p. 175 & 520). In 1278, Hugh Pruet of Somerset went surety for 40 Pounds (Westminister Record of Oct. 23, 1278). In 1317, Thomas Pruwet of Devon was mentioned in "Dwelly's Name Indices". On May 18, 1322 (Tuesday after Barnabas), at a council held at Old Sarum, Christiana Prewet sold land reserving a rent for her son, Nicholas (Close Roll Cal , p. 62). In 1327, Richard Pruet and Thomas Pruwet, both of Somerset, were mentioned in Dwelly's Names. In the Somerset Plea Rolls for Easter Term 4, Henry VI (1422-1461), Richard Pruet and Alice, his wife, sued John Seyntclere, the elder, for land and rents in Cruk and Eastham. In Feb. 1538, John Prewett received a A.B. Degree from the University of Oxford, became a fellow at Exter College in 1539, with a AM. at the Michaelmas Term 1543. In 1552, John Pruet married Tamsen Smith at Stockland Gaunts in Somerset (Boyd's Master Index). In 1558, two with the spelling Prewett were mentioned in the "Bristol Wills". There was a Prewet family in Hampton, Middlesex in 1600. In 1619, Thomas Pruet, and John and William Privett were listed as leaving Salisbury for Virginia (Parker's Bristol to America, p. 89 & 93). Ambrose Prewett witnessed a will in 1619. In 1624, Stephen Pruet gave up rental of church land in West Monkton of Somerset (Weavers Somerset, p. 403). John Pruit of Somerset sued John Green in 1627 (Somerset Society, Vol. 24, p. 53). In 1636, two Pruets were buried from Covent and Benet Wharf in London.

THOMAS PREWITT was born at Salisbury, Wiltshire, England in 1616. In 1636, Thomas Prewitt and seven others were transported to Charles River Co., Virginia (Patent Bk 1). Early Virginia Immigrants, by G. C. Greer, Clerk of the VA State Land Office, contains a list of some 25,000 persons who came to Virginia from 1623 to 1666, together with the patentee or person who brought them over. In this list is : Thomas Prewitt, 1636, by Joane Bennet, to Charles River Co On May 6, 1636, Joane Bennett, widow, received 450 acres in Charles River Co., VA., upon the new Poqueson River, east towards the bays, west into the woods, north upon the Pinye Swamp (River) and south upon Robert Thrasher. 50 acres due for transfer of 8 persons: Ann Winter, John Roote, Jon Marshall, Thomas Prewitt, Andrew Chant, Jon Morris and Pole Carplights (Patent Bk 1, part 1, p. 346). At first, land could only be had by paying the passage of settlers to poor to pay their own; the man who paid the transportation costs got 50 acres of land for each person brought into Virginia. The transported person usually had to spend five years in working out the costs of his passage, but at the end of that time, he or she also received 50 acres of land. On June 2, 1636, Thomas Privett was granted 50 acres of land in Charles River Co., VA, being a neck of ground at the New Poqueson, west upon William Clarke a creek, then east upon Thomas Harwood a creek. The said 50 acres of land being due unto him the said Thomas Privett for the transportation of one servant into this colony (Patent Bk 1, p. 357). This seems strange that an indentured servant would be transporting an indentured servant to do his work for him. Much has been written about the indentured servants that came to the colonies. Like most immigrants, they were of all classes, but they were mostly young men with little or no material goods, believing that they could make a killing quickly in the new world and return home. There were some who, for political or religious beliefs, chose to come as indentured servants because, in doing so, they would not have to take an oath to support Church or King. No doubt many Quakers were among these, for this sect was a problem for Gov. Berkley. It appears that Thomas Prewitt and wife were Quakers and not married by the rules of the established church. Charles River Co., VA was changed to York County. In 1646, Thomas Privet confessed he borrowed a canoe from John Wilson and lost it. Ordered that he pay Wilson 2 bushels of corn for it 1st November next (York County Records, Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 25, p. 14). In 1647, John Thomas has an attachment against Thomas Privett to secure debt of 600 lbs tobacco (Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 25, p. 284). On May 24, 1648, Thomas Pruitt confesses judgment to Robert Abrall for 1202 lbs of tobacco to be paid the 10th of October next at the house of Pruitt. Three cows bound in security Court for the County of York (York Order Bk 2, p. 87; & Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 25, p. 356). Cattle were very valuable to the early settlers. They were expensive to bring over by ship and scarce. In 1648, Thomas Privett confessed judgment to Mr. William Hockaday, 1 1/2 bushel of corn and 56 lbs tobacco (York Order Bk 2, p. 383). On July 25, 1648, "Whereas Thomas Privett and his wife were presented to this court for committing fornication and thereof found guilty. Court ordered that they shall do a pennance in the Parish Church on the New Pawqueson and during the tyme of devine servis the next Sabbath Day. The church wardens ordered to see this done. Pruitt and his wife to appear at the next Court to abine further censure (York Order Bk 2, p. 387, & Virginia Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 26, p. 9). This was undoubtedly persecution of the Quakers. On Dec. 6, 1648, Thomas Privitt binds himself to pay John Madison 600 lbs of tobacco before 1st October next, a steer and heifer as security (York Order Bk 2, p. 436).

(H) HENRY PREWITT was born in York Co., VA in 1654, and is thought to have been the son of Thomas Prewitt, who was transported to Charles River Co., VA in 1636. On April 25, 1679, Henry was listed with the heads of families in Henrico Co., VA, when he was taxed to support an army to defend against the Indians. In the same group of 40 neighbors was Col. William Byrd. Henry evidently owned land at that time, since he was taxed. He was not a large land owner by comparison to the Carter's, Byrd's, Randolph's or Washington's, who owned thousands of acres, but for Henry Prewitt to be a land owner at age 25, was of some importance (See William & Mary Quarterly, Oct. 1915; & History of Pittsylvania Co., p. 13). It is believed that Henry married first: a Field. A researcher in the Field line believes an older sister of John Field (Ann Field) married Henry Prewitt. That Henry Prewitt was married first to a daughter of Thomas Field, Sr. is strongly suggested by Henry's location in 1679 near Edward Jones (who married Mary Field) and the joint patent with John Field in 1687. It was the custom to live on the land before recording a patent. In the case of Edward Jones, John Field and Henry Prewitt, it seems likely they settled on Thomas Field, Sr's land for which he had not yet recorded. On Aug. 25, 1681, Hen. Prewett was summoned to testify, and having attended one day, was granted 40 pounds of tobacco against Hugh Jones. Court held in Varina Parish, Henrico Co., VA in the action between High Jones and Edw. Jones (Henrico Bk 2, p. 384). On Feb. 1, 1685, Hen Prewett and John Field witnessed the Will of Gilbert Jones of Henrico Co., VA(Bk l,p. 350). On April 20, 1687, Henry Prewitt and John Fields were granted 440 acres of land in Varina Parish, Henrico Co., VA on the North side of the James River, beginning at Almond Creek (this area is now within the city limits of Richmond, VA) (Patent Bk 7, p. 569; & Crozier Vol. 4, p. 128). Often in the patents involving two people, we find they were brothers-in-law. Henry Prewitt was involved with the Fields and Jones families throughout the records of Henrico Co., Virginia. Mary Fields, sister of John Fields, married Edward Jones, and Henry Prewitt administered the estate of Edward Jones in 1695. Henry Prewitt sold his half of the above 440 acre patent to Mary (Field) Jones in 1697. In 1688, Henry Pruitt patented 411 acres (Patent Bk 7, p. 637). On Oct. 1, 1690, at a Court held at Varina for the County of Henrico first day of 7, 1690, Jury: Fra Reeves, Foreman; Jno Cannon, Tho. East, William Ballow, John Watson, Michl Turpin, Phil Turpin, Hen. Prewett, Thos Cardwell, John Field, Robert Easly and John Coates (Henrico Bk. 2, p. 350). 3 The 1690 tithables list Henry Pruitt and John Pruitt in Henrico County. On Aug. 1, 1691, Hen. Prewett, aged about 37 years (deposition) that some time before John Low went away, Hugh Jones demanded of Low that he put his gun in the loft of Edward Jones, as security for corn John Low had bought of Hugh Jones (Henrico Bk 5, p. 219). On Aug. 3, 1691, Hen. Prewett being supported by John Field in the suit brought against him by the Hon. William Byrd, Esq., having attended one day, hath order granted against the said Field for 40 pounds of tobacco according to law (Henrico Bk 2, p. 364). Henry Prewitt's land on Almond Creek was about 20 miles up the James River from William Byrd's plantation "Westover". However, William Byrd also operated a trading post near Henry Prewitt's land. Henry married second. Rebecca Dabbs in Henrico Co., VA in Aug. 1691. On Aug. 20, 1691, an account of licenses granted in this County since last account, etc. Henry Prewett marriage with Rebecca Dabbs (Henrico Bk 5, p. 253). According to depositions taken in Court that month, Henry was 37 years old. Rebecca is believed to be a dau. of James Dabbs. James Dabbs and Edward Palmer were transported to Henrico Co., VA on Dec. 6, 1652 by John Greenhough. James Dabbs settled on Four Mile Creek, and was probably the father of Rebecca Dabbs and Joseph Dabbs. Henry and Rebecca are believed to be the parents of:

(HI) Thomas Prewitt, Sr., b. ca 1693 Henrico Co., VA, m. Mary Ducray, widow of Nicholas Ducray; and died in Halifax Co., VA in 1759 (H2) Andrew Prewitt, b. ca 1695 Henrico Co., VA; m. Agnes; and died in Bedford Co., VA in 1763 (H3) Hugh Prewitt, b. ca 1697 Henrico Co., VA (was probably named for Hugh Jones, who wrote the first history of VA); lived in Goochland and Lunenburg Co., VA (H4) Richard Prewitt, b. ca 1698 Henrico Co., VA; m. Frances Murrell; lived in Goochland, Lunenburg and Bedford Co., VA (H5) Uriah Prewitt, b. ca 1699 Henrico Co., VA; lived in Goochland and Lunenburg Co., VA (H6) Rebecca Prewitt, b. ca 1702 Henry Co., VA; m. James McGehee in Henrico Co., VA on Dec. 9, 1721

On Aug. 25, 1691, Hen. Prewett having attended two days as a witness, being summoned for Ed Jones in his suit against Fra Reeves, hath orders against the said Jones for 80 pounds of tobacco according to law. Court held Varina Parish (Henrico Bk 2, p. 383). On Sept. 1, 1691, Hen. Prewett aged about 37 years depozeth that crossing James River sometime since, he did see a black bull of Thomas Field's mark which belonged to Ed Jones floating upon the river against Mr. Reeves low ground (Henrico Bk 5, p. 229). On April 17, 1693, Mr. Hen. Prewett on Grand Jury (Henrico Bk 5, p. 408). On April 1, 1694, Giles Webb conveyed land to Thomas Cardwell, both of Varina, 100 acres boubded by lines of Cardwell and Henry Pruit (Henrico Bk 5, p. 528). On Feb. 1, 1695, Henry Prewitt having attended one day as a witness in behalf of Mr. Jno Pleasants in his suit against Nathaniel Cardwell, has an order for 40 pounds of tobacco against the said Pleasants according to law (Henrico Bk 3, p. 85). Also on Feb. 1, 1695, the estate of Barth paid Hen. Prewett 15 shillings (Henrico Order Bk 5, p. 620). In Feb. 1695, Hen Prewett and three others made inventory of Edward Jones (Henrico Order Bk 5, p. 628). Inventory of Edward Jones listed Feb. 19, 1695 (Henrico Order Bk 5, p. 630) On June 1, 1695, Henry Prewett being summoned as a witness in behalf of Allanson Clarke against Mr. Frances Reeves, has an order granted against said Clarke for 40 pounds of tobacco, he having attended one day (Henrico Bk 3, p. 59). V On April 1, 1697, Henry Prewett of Henrico sold 220 acres to Mary Jones. Land on the North side of James River, John Higledy, Edward Jones, part of the land patented by Henry in 1686, "and upon which I now live", it being the southernmost end of the said tract next to Thomas Field's Creek. Witnessed by: Giles Webb and John Wilson; recorded April 17, 1697 (Henrico Bk 5, p. 701). Henry Prewett comes into Court and acknowledges conveyance of 220 acres of land to Mary Jones (Henrico Bk 3, p. 141). On Dec. 1, 1699, Hen. Prewett was a Grand Juror (Henrico Bk 1697-1699, p. 153). Several people have thought that the Prewitt's of Virginia originated with the French Huguenot, Roger Pratt, and his wife Mary. When Roger and Mary Prouit or Pratt, settled at Manakin Virginia in 1699 (The Huguenot, 1926, Vol. 2, p. 15), the Prewitt's had been recorded in Henrico Co., VA records for over 20 years. John Prewitt donated to a fund to help "the poverty stricken settlement of French Huguenots at Manikin Town in 1700" (Virginia Historical Collections, No. 5, Huguenot Emigration to Virginia, p. 65). On April 3, 1702, Henry Prewitt sold land (LDS Library, F Va pt 2 (ptl) 7559, p. 278). June Court 1711, Henry Pruet, over aged person exempt from paying poll tax (Orders 1710-1714, p. 73; Reel 66, pt 1, Richmond). Henry Prewitt died in Henrico Co., VA before June 1722. In the June Court, 1722, Rebecca Pruit, widow of Henry Pruit, late of this County, dec'd, being summoned to adm. estate of dec'd husband and failing to do so, on motion of Teston Woodson, a Quaker, it is granted him letters of adm. of estate of Henry Pruit. Willian Kent, John Huckaby, John Lewis, William Womack or any three of these to appraise the estate. John Woodson is also included (Minutes 1719-1722, p. 182; Reel 66, pt 2, Richmond). In 1739, the vestry proceeds to lay the parish levy; to the church wardens for Rebecca Pruett, 698 pounds tobacco (History of Henrico Parish and Old St. John's Church, Richmond, 1611- 1904, by Moore, p. 50). Rebecca died in Henrico Co., VA in 1748. Henrico Parish for the year 1748, to Robert Morris for burying Rebecca Pruitt, 200 Pounds (History of Henrico Parish and Old St. John's Church, Richmond, 1611-1904, by Moore, p. 83).

(123441) LOUISE BYRD "Byrdie" PRUITT (dau. of Moses Byrd Pruitt and Eva Gardenshire) was born in Love Co., OK on Jan. 24, 1888. Byrdie attended Ardmore schools. When she was a student at Ardmore, her mother saw to it that Byrdie received piano lessons. Byrdie and her school chum, Bessie McBride, also took dancing lessons fromLen a Gardenshire. However, after her mother, Eva, insisted on the dancing lessons, she then forbade Byrdie to go to dances. After graduating from Business College, she taught school at Graham, Oklahoma. She lived with her parents at Woodford and rode horseback from Woodford to Graham to teach. Byrdie did not want to teach, she wanted to be a geologist and landman. While teaching school, she sometimes lived in Ardmore on the weekends. So it was only a matter of time before she found employment in Ardmore that pleased her more than teaching. She worked for the Smith Fraley Lumber Company. Later she worked for the Fraser Brother's Cotton Exchange where she remembers taking dictation until supper time. Then she would go to the First National Bank and type for Mr. Timberlake, who was the vice-president of the bank. She recalls how she would sit in the window and type for 5 c a letter, while children would stand outside the window on the street and watch her hands fly across the keys. Another place she worked was the Portland Cement Company, Ada, OK., where she was employed as a stenographer as well as an assistant sales manager. At one time she worked for John Ringling and for his Ringling Railroad, and also for the Ringling Construction Company. The last job that Byrdie held before returning to the ranch was as Administrator of the Hardy Sanitarium. After the stint at the hospital, she returned to her first true love, ranching and raising cattle. She was never afraid of work. She would plow the land for planting, mend or build fence, feed cattle, and cut wood. She never faltered if there was a sick calf to be doctored. When Byrdie was 82, she built a new brick home and moved into it during the summer of 1980. She has always dressed the part of a hard working person. Byrdie has been a familiar sight in her pants, shirt, boots (or tennis shoes) and a red billed cap to shade her face in the summer, and a red sock cap to warm her head in the winter. Red has always been a favorite color which is reflected in her red jeeps, red pick-ups, and red cattle trucks she owned. Byrdie owned and operated a ranch that consisted of 2700 acres of land located in Carter and Love Counties. Over 400 head of Prime cattle grazed on her holdings.

At his death in 1837, John Kirk owned over 1000 acres. John Kirk had problems with other family members, as indicated in a 1826 disagreement with his son, William Kirk, when he revoked a gift of a negro slave he made to his son in Maury Co., TN in 1816. Rec. Sept. 9, 1826 (Monroe Bk l,p. 431). Jane married second: John B. Hunter in Monroe Co., MS on Jan. 12, 1839. The Probate Court directed Jacob N. Johnston, Nicholas Tubb, George Tubb, John C. Tanner and William Anglin to set aside one third of John Kirk's land to his widow as her right of dower and for her use during her natural life. These men allotted 320 acres of land to Mrs. John B. Hunter, as the widow's dower in the estate of her late husband, John Kirk, Sr. The title to much of the land that John Kirk, Sr. owned when he died in 1837, went to the State of Mississippi for non-payment of taxes during the Reconstruction years of 1867 and 1868. John B. Hunter and Jane moved from Monroe Co., MS between 1849 and 1850, probably joining the great western migration.

If the children of Austin and Nancy were raised by her brother in Putnam County, it would have to have been by James Yarbrough. Or if raised by Samuel Yarbrough, it would have been in Warren County. Perhaps Samuel furnished his land in Putnam County for them to reside on. Austin Pruitt and Nancy Yarbrough were married in Warren Co., GA on Feb. 27, 1800. Deed records for Warren County show a Samuel Yarbrough to be living in the area of Long Creek at this time Long Creek runs into the Ogeechee River on the west side of Warren County. Hancock County is across this river to the west. In the late 1700's, there were Yarbrough's residing in both counties. At the time of Nancy's marriage, there was William, James and Burrell Yarbrough in Hancock County, and Samuel and James Yarbrough in Warren County. When the Indians were removed from the area of Putnam Co., GA, and the 1805 Land Lottery was held, many from the Hancock & Warren County area moved into the newly opened land. James Yarbrough is in Putnam County from 1809 (not owning any property until he bought the land from Samuel Yarbrough in 1818). James appears consistantly as a witness to many deeds as well as a Justice of the Peace for a short time. Since he was always involved with people in the area of Lot 294, he probably managed the land for Samuel Yarbrough until he purchased it in 1818. James sold this land in 1832, and moved to Harris Co., GA, where he died in 1839-40. Will written Dec. 25, 1839 and proved Jan. 6, 1840. Administrators were: Robert H. Dixon, William Yarbrough, Absolm Bidell and Roland Mahone. James Yarbrough married Mary B. Dixon in Putnam Co., GA on Feb. 8, 1814. The 1830 Census for Putnam Co., GA shows James between 30 and 40 years of age. 204 YARBROUGH

William Yarbrough first appears in Putnam Co., GA in 1818, when he witnessed a deed According to the 1820 Census of Putnam Co., G A, William was younger than Nancy and was probably a brother In 1824, he was taxed on 130 acres on Long Creek in Warren Co., Georgia. The 1820 Census of Warren Co., GA shows Samuel Yarbrough is over 45 years of age, and old enough to be Nancy's father. Samuel is not listed in 1830.
