Territory- 1798 State-1817
The first attempt to found a colony was made in 1699 by Pierre Lemoyne, who brought 200 immigrants from France. They established colonies on the Gulf Coast at Old Biloxi in 1699, and on the Mississippi River at Natchez in 1716. The entire Mississippi Valley was called Louisiana. In 1763, France ceded the territory east of the Mississippi River, except New Orleans, to Great Britain under the peace settlement that ended the French and Indian War. Britain also received Florida from Spain, and divided the entire area into East Florida and West Florida. When the thirteen Colonies revolted in 1776, the Natchez District remained loyal to the Crown, and a number of Tories of the seaboard colonies moved their families to the district. In covered wagons, on horseback or canoe, the trek was started following Indian paths, stage coach routes, military and post roads. A great number crossed the Savannah River at Augusta or Ross's Landing, Georgia. The Georgia State Road was used by many, who went through the northwest corner of Georgia into North Carolina and then into Tennessee. The Natchez Trace, or Chickasaw Road, was an old Indian path, the southern portion extending from Nashville, TN to Natchez, MS, a distance of some 500 miles. Between 1779 amd 1781, Spain asserted her authority and took over the government of the Natchez District. Beasley Pruett (a Tory in South Carolina) was in Natchez District as early as 1783, and received a Spanish Land Grant in 1789. By 1798, pro-American sentiment had overthrown the rule of Spain and the Mississippi Territory was created by an Act of Congress. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 opened the Mississippi River and brought about a land boom in the Mississippi Territory. Thousands of settlers came from the eastern and northern states to claim the new lands. Petitions for statehood soon began and the State of Mississippi was created in 1817. The eastern half of the Territory was cut off to create the Alabama Territory. By 1820, the land ceded by the Choctaw Indians was divided into many counties and rapidly settled. Dunbar Rowland, in his history of Mississippi, makes reference to some old South Carolina counties being almost depopulated by the rush to the new territory. ADAMS CO. MS.

Rufus K. Prewitt, M.D., physician, surgeon and druggist, at Ackerman, MS, Choctaw County, has there been actively engaged in the practice of his profession for the past score of years and is a citizen of prominence and influence. He was born in the town of French Camp, that county, Feb. 13, 1844, being the son of John and Elizabeth (Cochran) Prewitt, the former a native of South Carolina and the latter of Georgia, while both passed the closing years of their lives in MS, of which state they were sterling pioneers, the father having here followed agricultural pursuits for many years. The parents came to Choctaw County in 1834, being among the first settlers, and the father was one of the commissioners who assisted in laying off the county into townships. Dr. Prewitt attended the schools of French Camp and Vaiden, MS in his youth, and made good use of the opportunities thus afforded him, while he completed his medical studies in the Louisville Medical College, in the metropolis of Kentucky, in which institution he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1882, having previously been in practice for thirteen years after taking one course of lectures. His intrinsic loyalty to the South and its constitutional rights was manifested in no uncertain way when the Civil War was inaugurated. He enlisted in the defense of the Confederacy, becoming a member of Company A, 4th Mississippi Infantry, in which he was promoted to the office of second Lieutenant, while he continued in the ranks of the boys in gray until the close of the war. Among the principal engagements in which he was a participant were the battles of Fort Donelson, Chickasaw Bayou, Grand Gulf and Vicksburg, the Georgia and Tennessee campaigns, and the battle at Blakely, Alabama. In 1861, at the battle of Fort Donelson, he was taken prisoner, but was soon afterward exchanged, and with his command, he surrendered after the Memorable siege and capitulation of Vicksburg, in 1863.
19 CHOCTAW CO. MS.
Dr. Prewitt began the practice of his profession in Whitefield, (now Sturgis) Oktibbeha Co., MS in 1869. Four years later he removed to Webster, Winston County, where he was successfully engaged in the work of his profession for a period of eleven years, at the expiration of which he came to Ackerman in 1884, and has been engaged in general practice there, having built up a large and representative business and commanding the high regard of the people of that section. He is a Democrat in his political proclivities, but, during the years when the Populist Party stood representative of the principles and policies which met his approval, he gave to the same his unqualified support and endorsement, being one of the leaders of the party in Mississippi. For eight years he was publisher and editor of the Phagocite, a weekly paper issued in the interest of the Populist Party, and in 1895 he was elected to the legislature on the party ticket, serving until 1899. In 1896 he was the party nominee for congress from his district, and, upon completion of his term in the legislature, he was given still further evidence of the confidence and appreciation of the party leaders in that he became the nominee for the governor of the State. He made spirited and effective canvasses on each of these occasions, but met the defeat which attended the party ticket in general throughout the State. Dr. Prewitt is President of the Choctaw County Medical Association and is an ex-member of the Board of Health of Choctaw County. He is local surgeon for the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad. In connection with his practice, he owns and conducts a finely equipped drug store. He owns the largest orchard in the State, having over 6,000 trees planted on forty acres of land, the fruit consisting of apples and peaches, mostly, the latter. In a fraternal way, he is identified with the Masonic Order, Knights and Ladies of Honor, and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. On November 17, 1869, Dr. Prewitt married Mrs. Elizabeth Easley, dau. of John and Margaret (Robinson) Crow of Choctaw Co., and they have been the parents of seven children, all of whom died in childhood except Thomas, Rufus and John, the latter of whom was killed on a railroad at Birmingham, Alabama in 1893, at the age of twenty- two, leaving one son Perkins Prewitt. Rufus was a bookkeeper at Ackerman and died in 1900, aged twenty-three (Mississippi History Vol. Ill, Atlanta, GA 1907).
1952, Oct. 30 - ALICE (Cain) PREWITT died at Ackerman, Mississippi. She was born in Franklin Co., MS on June 27, 1874; and was the second wife of Rufus King Prewitt.
