Photos from Bob Pruitt (and a Few Others)
According to DNA, Thomas R. Pruitt is likely the grandfather of my grandfather John B. Dugan. I have been fortunate to have met (via the internet and telephone) two of his great-grandsons, Bob and Calvin Pruitt. Bob has generously offered to share some of his family photos and I thought it best to give them a place on our family website. These photos are from the families in his and Calvin's family tree: Pruitt, May, Brock, McKay, Turner, Belshe, Butler, and more.
Some of the photos needed a small bit of editing. I tried to limit my changes to the least amount possible to keep the integrity of the original photo, while cleaning it up just a bit.
I have thoroughly enjoyed seeing these photos and hope you will, too. My gratitude to Bob for sharing these photos and to Calvin for helping us work to solve our family mystery knows no bounds. They truly are two of the "good guys" and I am proud to call them cousin.
If you have any further information on any of the photos or would like to reach Bob or Calvin, please use the form at the bottom of the page. I will be happy to pass along your message.
