About us

Goals
The purpose of genealogical research is to crack the code of our origins and discover where our families fit in the historical narrative. We want to know where we came from, what our forebears were doing during important moments in history, how did they survive and thrive, and what might their history tell us about our present and, perhaps, our future. The goal of this FTDNA surname project is to help us group our Prew-it ancestors into Family Groups based on DNA evidence and historical records.

In the past some Prew-its have been lumped together into single family groups with little evidence except time and place to support it. We now know that despite the fact that most Prew-its began their American experience in Virginia, they were not all related. In fact, we have discovered six distinct Prew-it family groups living in Virginia during Colonial times (or soon after). Three family groups passed through south central Virginia at the same time. With the advent of Y-DNA testing, we now know that early Prew-it researchers put family trees together that included several different Prew-it family groups.

We can now rearrange some of those family trees using Y-DNA evidence. While historical records can be sparse for some families, the DNA evidence can tell us who is and who isn’t related. The family groups and descendancy charts below represent our best understanding of the male lineages of many members of this project. You will note that none show Thomas Prewitt, who arrived in Virginia as an indentured servant in 1636, as their patriarch. There is no documentation to indicate that Thomas Prewitt had children, let alone the names of any possible children. Thomas may have been the patriarch of one of our family groups, but he could not have been the patriarch of more than one group. Without historical records to indicate one way or the other, we cannot place him at the head of a particular family group at this time.

Patriarchs of the Six Distinct Pruett/Pruitt/Prewitt Family Groups
Listed below are descendancy charts for members of each of our Family Groups. The first person listed is the male patriarch of the family group. After that, we encourage each member to provide their descendancy chart through the early 20th Century. We hope this information will help other group members develop their own descendancy chart for their families.

Family Group A - William Pruett of Caroline County, Va.
Below are descendancy charts for members of Family Group A. The most distant common ancestor of Group A is William Pruett (1651-1748) who lived in Caroline County, Va. There is a considerable amount of information on William Pruett and his family in the 1700-1800s. William’s descendants stayed in Virginia and also moved to Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana and other states. William Pruett of Caroline County (part of King and Queen County before 1727) was listed as a landowner in 1704 in King and Queen County. William’s age was based on a court case in 1746, where William was a witness, stating he was 95 at this time.
