Bob G,
  I would be interested in your Pruitt information. With dna, we have connected with the Pruitt who was here in 1640 but I am still trying to figure out the lines of descent. We have a few Alexanders in the line. To date I have traced them back to about 1797 in South Carolina where David or Davis Pruett (my ggg-grandfather) would have been born. His son, Joseph B. Prewett (my gg-grandfather) was born about 1823, I believe, in Georgia and his son Davis Marion, born about 1855 (my g-grandfather) also born in Georgia. They moved to Alabama between 1855 and 1860 to Blount County. When Cullman County was formed in the 1880's. I believe it incorporated the portion of Blount County where they had been living. My grandfather, Burl C. Pruett, was born 1893 in Cullman County, Alabama.

Joseph B. Pruett is buried in Heflin Cemetery, Moulton, Lawrence County, Alabama. A couple of years ago, a CSA commemorative stone was placed at his grave site.

These men were small in size with blond hair and blue eyes. Could you send me your information as a pdf file.

 For anyone descended from Davis Pruett, Joseph Pruett, etc. there is a family reunion held every year in Cullman County, Alabama.

 Bob G.,

  I can't get my Pruitt line past 1822. I'd be interested in receiving a copy  of the picture. Would you mind sending it to me?

 Thanks,
 Linda

Hi, my name is Bobby G. Pruitt,son of Marshall Wyllie Pruitt, grandson of  Wylie Pinckney Pruitt, great grandson of Alexander Pruitt.

I have a Willie Pruitt in my fathers family.I also have a picture of him. He  was a small man, like my father and his brothers.
If you will give me a few days I will scan it and send it by email. I
will need your email address.

By the way I had the Pruitt's back to 1640. So We have been in the country a  long time.

BENTON COUNTY:

I have tried without success to trace my great grandmother. (The distaff
side is always harder)

She was born Flora Caroline Rhodes and married my great grandfather Joseph
J. Pruitt in Benton County, Alabama (Now probably Cherokee Co) around 1850.
They lived in several places in North Alabama, but primarily in Boaz.
Joseph was descended from Jacob Decatur, Ransom, etc.

Flora Caroline Rhodes probably had many siblings. Two sisters lived in the
same area. One - Ella- married a Gregory. Another married a LOVE.

If you have information from either side of this family, I would very much
like to be in touch.
Kay
