Notes:
* Joseph R. Prevatt and his wife Susannah were early settlers of Florida. Joseph R. Prevatt was the son of James D. Prevatt, Sr. He and several brothers moved to Camden County, Georgia and later into Florida. He and his wife were members of Pidgeon Creek Primitive Baptist Church (located at Boulogne, Florida) and were reflected in the church minutes 1821, 1822, 1823, 1824 and 1825. The family initially lived in Nassau County, Florida until around the 1840's when they moved to Columbia County, Florida. The list of children for Joseph R. Prevatt and his wife Susannah is not considered complete. The 1830 census showed other daughters who either died young or moved away. Joseph R. Prevatt served as a Private, in Captain Mizell's Company, 2nd Regt. East Florida Mounted Volunteers during the war with the Seminole Indians. He served for six months in 1837. He and his wife died between 1850 and 1860. Their burial place is unknown, but believed to be in Columbia County, Florida where they lived.
