Andrew Pruitt was born in Burke County, NC, in 1822, one of thirteen children in the family of Joseph Pruitt and Nancy White.
Andrew's first wife was Louisa Verble, and, by 1860, they had eight children, all born in Wilkes County: Noah, Jacob, Joseph, William Wesley, Carolina, Cicero, Prudence, and Tumas.
Between 1860 and 1868, however, there are no more records available for Louisa, or for their son, Noah, who was four years old in the 1850 census.
In 1868, Andrew married Almeda Lee, and the family moved from Wilkes to the Elkin area of Surry County.
As for their children:
Jacob married Sarah Cockerham in Surry County in 1864 and they had four children.
Joseph: after the 1860 census, records are inclusive.
William Wesley's first wife was Nancy Flanagan, then he married Sarah Delia Blevins in Johnson City, Tennessee, in 1892. He died in 1944 and is buried at Oak Grove Cemetery, Beckley, West Virginia.
Caroline: after the 1860 census, records are inclusive.
Cicero married Mary Ann Fields and they lived in the East Bend area of Surry County. They are buried at Cool Springs Baptist Church, located on Cool Springs Road, in Elkin.
Prudence married Thomas William Edmond Hemric, and they are buried at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, located on Pleasant Hill Drive, in Elkin.
Tumas married Mary Jane Dunn in Surry County.
Andrew Pruitt's wife, Almeda, was born in 1840, died in 1911, and she is buried at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Elkin.
After Andrew's marriage to Almeda Lee on May 19, 1868, his name never appears again on any public record, such as a property deed, census record, death record, or grave marker. The same can be said for Andrew's first wife, Louisa Verble, and their son, Noah. All three appear to have vanished without a trace.
While it is not known if Andrew Pruitt is directly related to my Pruitt family of Wilkes County, I wanted to post this information in case other people are looking for their Pruitt kin.
