  • BYRD PRUITT & NANCY DYER THEIR DESCENDANTS by Richard
    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 friend during 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 from Anglo-Saxon "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.

Previous studies (Klucharev et al., 2006; Rossiter and Smidts, 2006) have shown that memory and attitudes of a product increases when the famous presenter is an expert on the presented product. To study the mechanisms of effective use of famous presenters in advertising we simulated advertising and studied the modulation of memory and attitudes for products with fame as a context. We presented 24 female subjects with photos of products (shoes) coupled to famous and non-famous faces. To contrast effects of presenters’ attractiveness and expertise as well as specific item characteristics, we equated attractiveness and used only shoes as stimuli. During this task we recorded brain activity via fMRI. We found a substantial behavioural effect of fame on memory for the products; more products coupled to famous faces were remembered. Turning to the neural underpinnings of this behavioural effect, we found a subsequent memory effect x fame interaction in the thalamus.
