About Thomas Richard "Old Tygar Tom" Prewitt
"Ole Tygar Tom"- here is a comment from a Prewitt researcher "Managers of Thomas R. "old Tygar Tom” Prewitt, Sr., I am writing about Old Tygar Tom Prewitt. I am pretty sure no Prewitt living and dying in VA was called Old Tygar Tom. I think it should be the Thomas Pruitt (about 1720-1807) who left Henrico Co VA for Spartanburg SC where he owned land on Dutchman's Creek, a branch of the Tygar River. I am a Prewitt and McGehee. I am contacting you about this profile: Thomas Richard "Old Tygar Tom" Prewitt
Sincerely, Hershel Parker

He and wife, Mary, settled up James River from his father's land at Almond Creek in Henrico Co, VA, for when Goochland Co was formed from Henrico Co in 1727, Thomas was on of the first residents. He purchased land on Stock's Creek, Amelia Co, VA, in 1737, and resided there until his move to S VA. On 19 Jul 1745, Thomas began to dispose of his land holdings on Stock's Creek and over the next two years purchased 1,000 acres on Catawba Creek in Brunswick Co (Lunenburg) VA. In 1752, the portion of Lunenburg Co where Thomas lived was placed in newly organized Halifax Co, VA.
On 16 May 1756, Thomas PRUITT, Sr, blacksmith, gave three of his sons, John FARMER, Renny PRUITT, and Abraham PRUITT, 150 acres each on Catawba Creek, Halifax Co, VA. All three deeds are witnessed by Thomas PRUITT, Jr, and William PRUITT. It is believed that Thomas PRUITT, Sr, died in 1759 and following the English law of primogeniture, the home plantation and the bulk of the estate went to the first born son, Thomas, Jr. On 21 Feb 1760, Thomas, Jr, sold 100 acres each to William PRUITT and David PRUITT. On 20 Jun 1765, William PRUITT sold 50 acres to Michael PRUITT, and on 18 Feb 1767 William, David, and Michael all sold their lands in Halifax Co, VA, back to Thomas PRUITT, Jr.
