Peter's second wife Mary Ann Townsend Ladd Preuett took her son Peter Duncan and homesteaded in Springfield, Colorado - 1900-1901. She left Alfred with 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 Railroad Company. This land was forfeited. Copy of this information held by Jan Hahn Conlin. Peter Prewitt of Brownwood, Brown Co. was
Information found on 1850 Tenn. census, 1860 and 1870 Ark. and 1880 Tx. Some of this information was found in court records and census records of Lawrence Co., Tenn; and from information supplied by Charley L. McGee, 938 No. Warren Ave., OK City, and Bonnie (Reddell) Idsardi of Okmulgee, Ok. This information was compiled during the 1980's and published in the Reddell, Riddle, Reddel Trail. The Trail was obtained in Pulaski, Lawrence, Tenn. Public Library and additional pages were supplied by Bonnie during May, 1990. The Reddell family lived in an area of Lawrence Co., Tennessee called West Point. Martha's family left after the 1860 census and settled for a time in the Newton Co., Arkansas area. They later went to Brownwood, Tx, Oklahoma and Colorado. In the early 1880's missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints worked in the area of West Point. Several families were baptized into the church and after the murder of two of the missionaries they left the area and moved eventually to Kelsey, Texas. Kelsey was an area set aside as a gathering place for the Saints in the South. Two of the prominent families that settled in the area of East Texas were the Tefteller's and the Dodd's. Another family was the Bryant's. Although no connection has been discovered between the Kelsey group and the Reddell family it can be assumed that somewhere their paths must have crossed and possibly ancestors are shared. At the present time this is the closest pioneer connection we have to brag about because we have never found as much as one member in our history.
Preuett Family Bible record Minerva died on her 40th birthday in a buggy accident. She married a Scott.
Preuett Family Bible record. Sarah Lieuza Preuett and Ardovie were living in Wynnewood, OK during March, 1900. Frank Hildreth wrote his father during that time and said that they have gone to visit a brother in law of Sarah and Ardovie (18 miles) and brought back their niece. The niece was 13. No mention was made of the girls mother, but he said that they hadn't seen the brother-in-law for 12 years. If Margaret had married and died about the time of her daughters birth and Sarah left in 1887 when her father remarried as we know she did she would not have seen her brother in law for 12 years and the child would be 13. A marriage certificate filed in Brownwood, Brown, Texas shows a marriage between J.A. Jones and Margarat Pruett on February 23, 1881.

Name has been spelled many different ways. Pruett, Pruitt, Prewitt, Prewett She was born in Arkansas and moved to Brown Co., Tx. and was 8 on the 1880 census. She moved to Durango, Colorado to live with her sister, Eliza Preuett Brabbin. She met and married Frank Lemuel Hildreth and they had their son Ernest while living there. Frank was injured when he was kicked in the head by a horse and she took her family back to Tx. to be near her family. We have no idea why she stopped in Belle Plains, Callahan Co. rather than going on to Brown Co., but she did. This is where Daisy was born in 1894.

They lived in Wynnewood, Ok. until she was in high school and then they moved to Perry, Ok. She was called Dovey. She went to high school in Perry and married before Frank and Sarah Preuett Hildreth moved to Colorado. If record are correct she was married in Perry, Ok.

Norvell; Charles and Joyce McGee, all from Oklahoma City, Roy and Winnie Norvell, from Norman, OK; Mr and Mrs. Jossey (Cummings) Walker, Henryetta. This reunion was held in Okmulge, Oklahoma. A letter written by Frank Lemuel Hildreth to his father in 1900 showed the family was living in Wynnewood. Dovey was married during 1900. It may be that the family lived in Perry until high school and then moved to Wynnewood.
