<Skydancer> 

www.geocities.com/skydancer_1st

<Guest3744> 

hello

<Travis> 

Froggie11 - I don't know much about my Pruitt's either. I think I just told you all of it. There is a Prewitt living near Willoughby Winchester in one of the censuses, and he was probably his wife's brother or father. Mary Polly Pruitt was born in 1811 in Tennessee.

<Travis> 

Hi 3744.

<Guest3744> 

Hey.

<Skydancer> 

It is a website for a list that is doing Native American research.

<Froggie11> 

Travis, I have been told that my Hannah YOUNG came from Tennessee. But, don't know for sure.

<Travis> 

Well, that sounds sort of like we may have some common ground on both sides of my family.

<Froggie11> 

Is there no one on this list researching GREGORY?

<Guest3744> 

Hello folks. My family was from Blount & Walker counties.

<runette> 

SKY, what is that website for researching native Americans again?

<Froggie11> 

Travis, Sounds like it to me too. I am looking forward to seeing your information.

<Travis> 

Well, Guest3744, please read the transcripts. Froggie & I have been discussing Winston & Walker counties all night.

<huntsvilleADM> 

Guest, what SURNAMES are you researching?

<Skydancer>

<Guest3744>
