biographical and/or anecdotal:
*Thomas Pruitt Sr. married *Mary Chastain Ducray , the widow of Nicholas Ducray. Mary and Nicholas were French Huguenots, and this is beleived to be the only Huguenot connection with the Pruitt family. Mary was the daughter of *Dr. Pierre Chastain. Thomas and Mary settled further up the James River from his father's land at Almond Creek, for when Goochland County was formed from Henrico County in 1727, Thomas was one of the first residents.
Thomas purchased land on Stocks Creek , Amelia County , VA in 1737 , and resided there until his move to Southern Virginia. On July 19, 1745 Thomas began to dispose of his land holdings on Stocks Creek and over the next two years, purchased 1,000 acres on Catawba Creek in Brunswick (Lunenburg) County, Virginia. In 1752 , the portion of Lunenburg County where Thomas lived was placed in the newly organized Halifax County.
On May 16 , 1759 , *Thomas Prewitt , blacksmith , gave his three sons John a farmer , Renny and Abraham 150 acres each on Catwba Creek , Halifax County. All these deeds were witnessed by Thomas Jr. and William. It appears that Thomas Sr. died about 1759, and that his son Thomas Jr. gained control of his estate.
