Elizabeth died on 7 July 1811 and was buried at their home in Harrison
County, Kentucky; however, her parents had her body exhumed and removed to the
family burying ground on Walnut Hill Road in Fayette County. The coffin was
so heavy that it opened and Elizabeth's body was found to have turned to stone.
People came from afar to see the body; and museums offered great sums of money.
To keep the body from being stolen, it was kept in the family cellar for a
year.

Children were John William and Lula Ann Bagwell.

! At this time I am making a connection for Fields Prewitt to this family for
the sake of saving research. This information is only tied to Ann Fields
because of the name relation.

On April 25,1679, Henry was listed with the heads of family in Henrico County,
Virginia, when he was taxed to support an army to defend against the Indians.
In the same group of forty neighbors was Colonel William Byrd. Henry evidently
owned land at that time, since he was taxed. He was not a large land owner by
comparison to the Carters, Byrds, Randolphs, or Washingtons, who owned
thousands of acres; but for Henry to be a land owner at age 25 was of some
importance.

It is believed that Henry first married Ann Fields, the older sister of John
Fields and daughter of Thomas Fields, Sr. This is strongly suggested by Henry's
location in 1679 near Edward Jones (who married Mary Fields) and the joint
patent with John Fields in 1687. It was the custom to live on the land before
recording a patent. In the case of Edward Jones, John Fields, and Henry, it
seems likely they settled on Thomas Fields Sr. land for which he had not yet
recorded.

On August 25, 1681, Henry was summoned to testify, and having attended one day,
was granted 40 pounds of tobacco against Hugh Jones. This court was held in
Varina Parish, Henrico County, in the action between Hugh Jones and Edward
Jones.

On April 20, 1687, Henry Prewitt and John Fields were granted 440 acres of land
in Varina Parish on the north side of the James River, beginning at Almond
Creek (now within the city limits of Richmond, Virginia).

In 1688, Henry patented 411 acres.

On October 1, 1690, at a court held at Varina for the County of Henrico, the
jury listed Henry Prewitt and John Fields, Far Reeves, Jon Cannon, Thomas East,
William Ballow, John Watson, Michael Turpin, Phil Turpin, Thomas Cardwell,
Robert Easly, and John Coates.

The 1690 tithables list: Henry Prewitt and John Pruitt in Henrico County. On
August 1, 1691, Henry (age 37) in a deposition stated that some time before
John Low went away, Hugh Jones demanded of Low that he put his gun in the loft
of Edward Jones as security for corn John Low had bought of Hugh Jones.

On August 3, 1691, Henry being supported by John Fields in the suit brought
against him by William Byrd, having attended one day, hath order granted
against the said Field for 40 pounds of tobacco according to the law. Henry's
land on Almond Creek was about 20 miles up the James River from William Byrd's
plntation "Westover." However, William Byrd also operated a trading post near
Henry's land.

On August 20, 1691, Henry married Rebecca Dobbs in Henrico County.

On August 25, 1691, Henry having attended two days as a witness, being summoned
for Ed Jones in his suit against Fra Reeves, hath orders against the said Jones
for 80 pounds of tobacco according to the law. Court held at Varina Parish.

On September 1, 1691, Henry gave deposition that crossing the James River he
did see a black bull of Thomas Fields' mark which belonged to Ed Jones floating
upon the river against Mr. Reeves low ground.

On April 17, 1693, Henry served on the Grand Jury. On April 1, 1694, Giles
Webb conveyed land to Thomas Cardwell (100 acres bounded by lines of Cardwell
and Henry Prewitt).

On February 1, 1695, Henry having attended one day as witness in behalf of Jno
Pleasants in his suit against Nathaniel Cardwell, has an order for 40 pounds of
tobacco against the said Pleasants according to the law. Also on February 1,
1695, the estate of Barth paid Henry Prewitt 15 shillings.

In February 1695, Henry and three others made inventory of the estate of Edward
Jones. Inventory was listed February 19, 1695.

On June 1, 1695, Henry being summoned as a witness in behalf of Allanson Clarke
against Frances Reeves, has an order granted against Clarke for 40 pounds of
tobacco, he having attended one day.

On April 1, 1697, Henry sold 220 acres to Mary Jones. "Land on the North side
of James River, John Higledy, Edward Jones, part of the land patented in
1686...and upon which I now live, it being hte southernmost end of the said
tract next to Thomas Fields Creek." Witnessed by : Giles Webb and John
Wilson; recorded April 17, 1697.

It was known that Isham was a cousin of Michael Sr of Campbell County,
Virginia, but it is not known if Isham's father was Hugh or Uriah Pruitt. To
tie this family with the rest he is tied to Uriah since Uriah was marrried
