Notes for LT. COL. JAMES PREWETT: Lt Col James Prewett was educated between 1814 and 1824 in Kentucky. He emmigrated to California, overland by way of Donner Pass about 1849 in a wagon train of about 100 wagons. This train was never under attack by Indians. This is thought because Kit Carson, the Indian Scout's brother Linsey Carson, was traveling with this train (this information has been passed to me by Sharron Ross, she was given the information by Mrs. Cleo Tilley Cross granddaughter, 1730 Cherry Street, Bakersfield, CA) More information passed on from Sharron was from her Aunt Roene Emery:

J.W. Prewett Sr. came to CA in 1848, went back to Missouri, freed slaves, and brought the family out in 1849. He was a lawyer and one of the first judges in Santa Rosa, He took homestead near Windsor. Children of JAMES PREWETT and ELIZABETH GRAY are: 9.
