LEVI PREWITT, farmer, P. O. Pine Grove, is of old English stock.
His paternal grandfather, Robert, came from Virginia to Fayette County, Ky., 
about 1794, in which year Gen. Anthony Wayne's decisive victory over the 
Indians at the Miami Rapids put a complete stop to the savage forays by 
which the Kentucky settlers had up to this time been harassed.
That bold expedition, with the brilliant action which was its result, 
was shared in by many a gallant fellow from Fayette County.
In 1810, Robert Prewitt bought the farm which has since been owned in the 
name of Prewitt, and which he improved and worked till his death in 1819.
The property then fell to his son, William C., who retained it and further 
enhanced its value while he lived, and when he died, in 1854, it descended 
to his son Levi, our subject, whose mother was Margaret Edmonson.
Her father, Capt. John Edmonson, was one of the many brave Kentuckians 
killed on the terrible 22d of January, 1813, when Gen. Winchester's 
command was surprised and defeated at Frenchtown (now Monroe) on the River 
Raisin, Mich., and the prisoners taken were afterward barbarously 
butchered by the Indian allies of the victorious British.
Col. Edmonson, who fell in the thickest of the fight, was born in 
Washington County, Va., but had lived many years in Fayette County, 
and in honor to his memory another county of Kentucky was given his name.
His grandson, Levi Prewitt, was born November 5, 1819, in Fayette County, 
of which he has since been a constant resident, engaged in agricultural 
pursuits.
He fattens thirty or forty beeves yearly.
On October 23, 1845, he married Mary E., daughter of Samuel Coleman, and 
of the children born to them six are living: Margaret (wife of Prof. 
William O. Sweeney, M. D.), Ellen, Lucy, Lanie, Annie and Samuel S.
Mr. Prewitt is a member of the Christian Church and a valuable citizen.
