This Family Home Page is dedicated to my father, Emil Eugene "Gene" Pruitt.He gave me invaluable information to get it started and I regret I didn't get it finished in time for him to see it.The rest of my family will however, and I thank them for all their contributions.Enjoy!
Thanks to Richard Hall for this:The name, PRUITT, is spelled variously: Pruett, Prewet, Prewitt, etc., all thought to be derived from the Anglo-Saxon word "pryte", the meaning of which was: that of which is justly proud, self respect, etc. Bardsley's book gives the etymology of Pruitt as coming from Anglo-Saxon "prut", meaning: haughty or arrogant. It is interesting to note that in both England and America, the name is pronounced the same (Pru-itt) no matter how it is spelled.
