"Early Virginia Immigrants" by G.C. Greer, Clerk of the Virginia State Land
Office contains a list of 25,000 persons who came to Virginia from 1623 to 1666

Swamp (river), and south upon Robert Thrasher. 50 acres due for transfer of
eight (8) persons...Ann Winter, John Roote, Jon Marshall, Andrew Chant, Jon
Morris, Pole Carplights, and Thomas Prewitt. Joane Bennet was a Quaker.

Thomas Prewitt was thus brought over to America as an indentured servant. Once
a person served five years they received 50 acres of land.

On June 2,1636, Thomas Prewitt was granted his 50 acres of land in Clarles
River County, Virginia, being a neck of ground at the New Poqueson, west upon
William Clark a creek, then east upon Thomas Harwood a creek. The said 50
acres of land being due upon him the said Thomas Prewitt for the transportation
of one servant into this colony. It appears that Thomas Prewitt and wife were
Quakers and not married by the rules of the established church.

Charles River County, Virginia, was changed to York County. In 1646, Thomas

see this done. Pruitt and his wife to appear at the next Court to abine
further censure. (York Order Book 2, page 387) and (Virginia Colonial
Abstracts, Volumn 26, page 9). This was because they were not married in the
State Church of England. This was part of the persecution of the Quakers.

On December 6,1648, Thomas Prewitt binds himself to pay John Madison 600 pounds

Thomas PRUITT, Jr, and William Pruitt.

It is believed that Thomas Pruitt, Sr. died in 1759 and following the English
law of primogeniture, the home plantation
and the bulk of the estate went to the first born son, Thomas, Jr. On 21 Feb
1760, Thomas, Jr, sold 100 acres each to William PRUITT and David PRUITT. On
