biographical or anecdotal information:


source:
1800 census, spartanburg co., SC
samuel prewitt
1M 0-10
1F 0-10
I F16-26
1M 26-45.

1810 census, spartanburg co., SC
samuel pruatt
1M 0-10
3F 0-10
1M 10-16 (presumably samuel's)
2F 10-16 (1 presumably samuel's)
1F 26-45
2M 45+ (widowed brother and children?)

this is a man who, for whatever reasons, DID start his family very late.
the male born 1794-1800 is a known entity, son john,
which makes david born 1800-1810

1820 spartanburg census:
P630 PRUATT Samuel 278 411201 32110
remember...the breakdown is:
under 10
10-16
16-18
16-26
26-45
45+

that makes SEVEN children under 10!!! this must be a combined family.
THREE 10-16
THREE 16-26 (2M, IF, including one M 16-18)
ONE F 26-45 (elizabeth should have been 40-50)
ONE M 45+ (samuel should have been 55)
i'm guessing this family includes one married child 16-26 and spouse, and
their children.
