Unfortunately I have no further info on my Pruitt line. This line has become a serious stumbling block. I know there are descendants out there that know the family history...I met some at a reunion when I was a kid...but no one now seems to be willing to part with their knowledge. I was just fishing with my previous post...using all my bait!

All I know is that my Pruitts were in the Shoal Creek area of Hart County, GA abt 1880. John W. Pruitt (b abt 1845 d 1904) was head of household. He was married to a Lucy ??? Their known children were--- (in order of birth)
-Francis (f)
-James William (b abt 1870 d abt 1930)
-Samuel (d abt 1850)
-John (d abt 1950)
-Rose Ella (b 28 May 1875)
-Troas (f) (b Sep 1878)
-Albert Ackerman (b 2 Jan 1880 d 11 Mar 1940)
-Charles E. (b 22 Jan 1887 d 30 Jan 1954)
 ...Charles and family farmed in Oklahoma ... moved to SC and then to FL as result of Dust Bowl & Depression of 1930s...Son Charles and family lived in TX.
-Dayton Richard (b 18 Mar 1889 d 1926)
**George Herbert (b 8 Aug 1891 in Shoal Creek, Hart, GA; d 6 Dec 1941 at Westminster, Oconee, SC)
....Married Willie Liceny Crawford, lived in GA, SC, FL & NC...Known issue (4): George Albert, Hilda Amanda, Vera Hope (twin), Jimmy (twin).
-Julian Fletcher (b 1 Apr 1894 d 24 Nov 1959)

This is all I know for certain. Census records are hit and miss. A supposed fire destroyed many courthouse records...haven't found ANY land or probate records. It seems as if they were flying under the radar!

This family is a mystery surrounded by a brick wall!
