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.

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. -
