Notes for THOMAS PRUITT:

Thomas Prewitt, taken from the Family Tree Maker internet sight. 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 Country. 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 trasfer of 8 persons: Ann Winter, John Roote, Jon Marshall, Thomas Prewitt, Andrew Chant, Jon Morris, and Pole Carplights. At frist, land could only be had by paying the passage of settlers too poor to pay their own; the man who paid the transportation cost got 50 acres of land for each person brought to Virginia. The transported person usually had to spend 5 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 up on 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.  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, beliving 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 douby many Quakers were among these, for this sect was a problem for Gov. Berkley. It appears that Thomas Prewitt and wife were Quakerw and not married by the rules of the established church. Charles River County, 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 for for the canoe next Nov. 1. In 1647, John Thomas had an attachment against Thomas Privett to secure debt of 600 lbs. tobacco.  On May 24, 1648, Thomas Pruitt confesses judgement to Robert Abrall for 1202 lbs of tobacco to be paid the next Oct. 10 at the house of Pruitt. Three cows bound in security. Court for the County of Youk. Cattle were very valuable to the early settlers. They were expensive to bring over by ship and scarce. In 1648, Thomas Privett confessed judgement to Mr. William Hockaday, 1 1/2 bushel of corn and 56 lbs. tobacco. On July 25, 1648, Whereas Thomas Privett and his wife were presented to his 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 time of devine servis the next Sabbath Day. The church wardens or dered to see this done. Pruitt and his wife to appear at the next Court to abien further censure. This was undoubtedly persecution of the Quakers. On Dec. 6, 1648, Thomas Privett bind himself to pay John Madison 600 lbs of tobacco before next Oct. 1, a steer and heifer as security.  He was called "The Immigrant."  He immigrated to Charles River County, Virginia on May 6, 1636. His religion was Quaker.

Notes for HENRY PRUITT:

Henry Pruett, Sr. from the Family Tree Maker internet site. 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. It is believed that Henry married first, a Miss Field. A researcher in the Field line believes an older sister of John Field (Ann) 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 Fields, Sr's land for which he had not yet recorded.  On Aug. 25, 1681, Henry Prewitt was summoned to testify, and having attended one day, was granted 40 lbs. of tobacco against Hugh Jones. Court held in Varina Parish, Henrico Co., VA in the action between Hugh Jones and Edward Jones.  On Feb. 1, 1685, Henry Prewitt and John field witnessed the Will of Gilbert Jones of Henrico Co., VA. On April 20, 1687m 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). 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, VA. Mary Fields, a sister of John Fields, married Edward Jones, and Henry Prewitt administered the estate of Edward Jones in 1695. Henry sold his half of the 440 acre patent to Mary (Field) Jones in 1697.  In 1688, Henry patented 411 acres. On Oct. 1, 1690, at a court held at Varinia for the County of Henrico, July 1, 1690. Jury: Fra Reeves, Foreman, Jno Cannon, Tho.East, William Ballow, John Watson, Michl Turp in, Phil Turpin, Henry Prewitt, Thos Cardwell, John Field, Robert Easly, and John Coates. The 1690 tithables list : Henry Prewitt and John Pruitt in Henrico County, VA. On Aug 1, 1691, Henry, age about 37 years (deposition) that sometime 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.  On Aug. 3, 1691, Henry being supported by John Field in the suit brought against him by the Hon. William Byrd, Esq., having attended on day, hath order granted against the said Field for 40 pounds of tobacco according to the law. Henry'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's land. On Aug. 25, 1691 Henry having attended 2 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 the law. Court held in Varina Parish, VA. On Sep. 1, 1691, Henryaged about 37 yeard depozeth that crossing james River sometimes 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.  On Apr. 17, 1693, Henry on Grand Jury. On April 1, 1694, Giles Webb conveyed land to Thomas Cardwell, both of Varian, 100 acres bounded by lines of Cardwell and Henry.  On Feb. 1, 1695, Henry having attended one day as 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 lwa. Also, on Feb. 1, 1695, the estate of Barth paid Henry 15 shillings.  In Feb. 1695, Henry and 3 others made inventory of Edwards Jones. inventory of Edward Jones listed Feb. 19, 1695.  On June 1 1695, Henry being summoned as a witness in behalf of Allanson Clarke against Mr. Frances Reeves, has an order granted against Clarke for 40 pounds of tobacco, he having attended one day. On Apr 1, 1697, Henry 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 live now," it being the southernmost..................Dec 1, 1699 Henry was a Grand Juror.  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 Prewitt's had been recoreded 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. On April 1, 1702, Deed from Henry to Thomas Cardwell, 220 acres on north side of James River for 4000 pounds of tobacco over 3 years.
