30; his wife 30-40; three sons under 5; 1 son 5-10; 1 daughter 5-10; 1 daughter
under 15. Records showed he was 33 at this time so he had six children. His
son Peter was born 10 years later so he evidently had a large family. This
means that the William Alfred in Tennessee (Wilson Co.?) could be a son born ca
1820. In 1840 William was 30-40, his wife 20-30 (a new one?) a son 1-5 and a
daughter 1-5. What happened to his first family

his father Peter.
Peter's family lived next door to a family in Hawkins Co., Tennessee in 1840.
The head of house was Peter Ogan - this apparently is the person Peter was
named after. Peter Ogan near them in 1830, Grainger Co. census. In 1850 the
Preuett's lived in Grainger and the Ogan's live in Hancock. Ogan was listed in
1850 and 1860 as a Methodist Minister.
Census records list Peter's mothers place of birth as West Virginia. A literal
copy of the Preuett family Bible said, "Peter O. Preuett The son of Alfred the
son of Huriah Preuett." Does this mean the son of Alfred and Huriah or the son
of Alfred who was the son of Huriah (possibly short for Zackariah).
It is believed that Peter was a stone mason/farmer.
Peter is listed in a "Abstract of all original Texas Land Titles" to August 31,
1942. He was granted 640 acres of land in Borden, Texas by the Texas & Pacific
