Re: Prophet Family: From Sylvester to You

debwells3 — 2009-06-19 01:16:25Z

Hi Daniel,
I am also related to Sylvester and would love to know
anything you have on him personally. I wrote your
grandfather once trying to locate his book.
Do you have any information on Sylvester's parents
or do you know if he had any brothers or sisters?
Thanks, Debbie Proffitt Wells. (debwells3@hotmail.com)

Does anybody know where I could acquire a copy? Also, does anybody know who Sylvester's parents were? I'm having trouble finding that out. Any information is greatly appreciated!

Re: Garsden Research

Hello

I saw your note on the Garsden name. I have a Sarah Ann Garsden (1861 - 1938) from Bolton, who was my gg grandmother. I have traced this line back to Over Darwen, near Blackburn which is where all the Garsdens seem to come from (but in older records the name is also "Garstang". do you think this is the same as your family?

Prophet/Proffitt--various spellings--Mississippi

Sheilaacoupland — 2007-03-31 16:19:53Z

I am searching for someone who may be researching the Prophet (various spellings) families in Mississippi. I am specifically hoping to locate someone who knows about a "Jack" or Zach Prophet who lived in Carroll County, Mississippi in 1870. A paper describing this "Jack" Prophet came into my hands, but the name of its author is lost. I have done research, and "Jack" was actually named "Zach." In Carroll County, he was listed as "Zac." I am fairly certain that he is the brother of my David Prophett/Prophitt. David had a son named Zachariah and other clues fit. Would like to contact someone who is interested in this family. Zach married Mary Elizabeth Ballard in Anson County, NC in 1845.

Re: William and James Prophet from Missouri

I have information on this family from Greene Co., MO. William B. Prophet was the son of Arrington Prophet and Jemima Bingham. They were born in NC. His brother, James J. Prophet was born in 1839 in TN and died November 20, 1915.

Two of William B. Prophet's son, William P. and Jesse Allison Prophet moved to Oregon and died there. I have some information on them.

I don't know if pictures of them exists or not.

Let me know what other information you need as I have a very extensive collection on the surname Prophet and various spellings. The line will go back to Sylvestor Proffitt of Scotland and Goochland Co., VA. He is also my direct ancestor.

Re: Eliza Prophet

2003-12-10 10:09:23Z

To: Liz
My great grandmother was Eliza Prophet who came from Cornwall to NZ. This may not be the same one you are looking for, as our ancestor one married a James Humphreys and had children who also moved to NZ. . However, I would be keen to know whether there might be a connection as one of the children in the photo posted with your message bears a family resemblance.There was a Spanish element in our family but we haven't been able to pinpoint anything.

Eliza Prophet

2002-04-20 03:18:42Z

I'm trying to find where Eliza Prophet/Profit went to she was born in Cornwall UK in 1830, she had 1 child a son in 1858 she was not married. His name was Edward Thomas Prophet/Profit who later went to Tasmania, Australia.
I haven't been able to find what happened to Eliza, I've searched marriages, deaths on the records that I have been able to view so far, including cencus records.

Re: James Prophet

KMohler1101 — 2003-11-08 23:36:59Z

James Proffitt, son of Sylvester Proffitt and Alice Pleasant, was born 1734 and married Mary Lawson in 1758 in Virginia. Other siblings are Lucy, John, David, William, Anna and Elizabeth. What's confusing is that I have another James Prophet, b. January 26, 1768, Goochland County, VA; d. Wilkes County, NC; m. Mary Lawson. This James Prophet is supposedly the son of John Proffitt (the above family) and Susannah Arrington. Hope this helps!

Anyone on this list researching Prophet's of Rhode Island between 1750-1800?

Hannah Prophet, Rhode Island

NNunez4837 — 2005-05-07 15:00:00Z

Does anyone see this story as being familiar, found on the web...thanks.

The spirit of Robin Eldridge was not to be broken
down. Before entering the army he had married Hannah
Prophet; and he now settled in Warwick, near the
Fulling-Mill; where, by his honest industry, and
general good character, he was always held in esteem. He soon became able to purchase land and build a small house;
when he reared a large family, all of whom inherit
their father's claims to the kindness and respect of
those about them. He had, by this marriage, nine
children; of whom Elleanor was the last of seven
successive daughters. Of these children only five
lived to mature age.

It may now be proper to look back a little, in
order to glance at Elleanor's maternal ancestry. Her
maternal grandmother, Mary Fuller, was a native
Indian, belonging to the small tribe, or clan, called
the Fuller family; which was probably a portion of the
Narragansett tribe. Certain it is that this tribe, or
family, once held great possessions in large tracts of
land; with a portion of which Mary Fuller purchased
her husband Thomas Prophet; who, until his marriage,
had been a slave. Mary Fuller, having witnessed the
departing glories of her tribe, died in extreme old
age, at the house of her son, Caleb Prophet; being 102
years old. She was buried at the Thomas Greene burying
place in Warwick, in the year 1780. Her daughter
Hannah, as we have said before, had been married to Robin Eldridge, the father of Elleanor.

Re: James Prophet

sbcoupland — 2002-01-20 15:39:25Z

I, too, would like to discover the descendants of James. I believe that my family may descend from him. There was a James Proffitt in Wake County, NC in May, 1778, having received a land entry. Also, a James Proffit received a Revolutionary pay voucher for furnishing corn to army from Wake Co. I understand, however, that there was also a son of John and Susannah Arrington Proffitt who wound up in Yancy County, NC. Two marriages in Wake Co. from the period after the Revolution: Lucy married Isaac Hill on Nov. 9, 1790 and Larkin Profit married Jane Bird 12 Nov. 1787. (much of this info from Fred Davis, a Proffit researcher). Fred believes that Larkin is the son of James from whom my family descends. The lineage (in theory) is thus: Sylvester, James, Larkin, Randal (or Randolph), David Prophitt. My gggrandfather, David, was born in NC (maybe King's Mt.) about 1813. He came to Troup County, Ga. and married Nancy Farrow/Farrar in 1835.
From David back is speculative on my part at present. If you have more info, I would love to hear. Sheila
