Thanks for your reply.
I have to correct myself, it was Molly not Polly. Mary Green Pruitt is who I am interested in. She had lived with her grandmother in Georgia, after her parents died may be the way it was.
I am just totally stuck on the Pruitt.
The Pearce, Bayne and Temple came along later after the Civil War.
Some of all three families fought in the war.
The Pearce which my Molly Pruitt married has been traced back to Europe having ancestors on the Mayflower, etc.
The Bayne which was my grandmother has been traced back to Maryland and the great sailing ships from there in the 1600's. They were huge men and very capable of living on the seas at that time.
My Temple has been traced back to when one was dumped in Virginia in the early 1600's. The Temple her sister Sally married may or may not have been related to me.
From what I know on the Pruitt line out of Georgia, the Pruitts have ties to those folks chased out of France in the 1700's for being Protestants, but I cannot get back any further.
Apparently you are in almost the same shape as me and do not know a lot either.
Thanks for trying-
Linda
