Individual Details

Levinia married 26 Dec 1788 in Pittsylvania Co to Samuel Prewett Jr The Walters book says she married 2nd John Dodson on 26 Dec 1806 in Pittsylvania Co but this is incorrect. The Levinia Walters in Pittsylvania Co was the daughter of the Robert Walters that married Seletha McBee - they lived in Pittsylvania Co VA and were not in Georgia. In 1827, when Robert Walters of Franklin Co GA wrote his will in his daughter was deceased and was still Lavinia PRUITT.

Samuel Pruitt is said to have been born 10 Sep 1761 or 1762 and died 19 Dec 1845 in Franklin Co GA. Samuel & Lavinia may not have gone to Georgia as early as some of the others did, but perhaps had moved there by 1798. Various online databases [copies in my files] give more information about this family. Levinia is said to have died by about 1813, as Samuel married 15 Nov 1814 in Franklin Co GA to Keziah Stokes Connally, widow of Charles Connally. Samuel's will dated 15 May 1839 left bequests to wife Kezia, daughter Lucy Riley, orphans of son Samuel Prewitt deceased, sons Hezekiah, John W. [500 acres on which he now lives], Robert W., and Joseph Prewett, and daughter Polly Chandler [land on Hudson River after death of wife Kezia], grandson Samuel W. Prewitt [170 acres on fork of Flat Creek], grandson Samuel Riley [187 acres N side of Danielville Road]. John W. Pruitt believed to be the only son of the marriage to Kezia.
The Samuel Pruitt who married Levinia Walters was the third Samuel. His father was also Samuel Pruitt, born about 1720, Frederick Co MD and died perhaps 17 Nov 1801 in Pittsylvania Co VA. He married Lucy Owen. His will doesn't mention Lucy but does name daughters Ruth Cook, Elizabeth Butt, Polly Hawker & Sallie Pruett, and sons Samuel & Joseph. He also probably had had sons Phillip, Zachariah & Benjamin. Samuel II moved from Maryland to Halifax Co VA about 1762 where he had land on Sandy and Birches Creeks. Samuel II was also the son of a Samuel Pruitt, born 4 Apr 1700, whose will was written 3 Jan 1760, probated 29 Apr 1760 in Frederick Co Maryland. His wife was Elizabeth Hawker; they married about 1720 in Maryland. Other information indicates Elizabeth was born in Prince George's Co MD, 4 Dec 1701, and they perhaps lived there prior to Frederick Co. Samuel I's will names wife Elizabeth, son Samuel, daughters Priscilla Duval and Sarah Boylston.
