Jerry,
Thank you for your reply.It is certainly a mystery about Diannah Hillsman Farrar's later husbands.I'm descended from two of Diannah and Tillman Dixon Pruitt's children; William Malone Pruitt and Harriett Elizabeth Pruitt- who also married another Pruitt: Ransom Marion Pruett.I have read about your great-grandfather Jesse Carter Farrar Pruitt in the book by Haskell Pruitt Ph.D, The Pruett Pruitt Family.My guess is you already have this book!But if you have additional information not included in it about Diannah or her and Tillman's family I would love to know anything more about them.
Do you have photos taken at Diannah's grave site?I have only B&W xerox copies of her grave and would love to see it clearer.I have recently been in touch with one of the contributors to the Pruett Pruitt book, of Gilmer, TX, who is in posesssion of the red velvet box owned by Diannah that contained her precious Tin Type family photos.Diannah was photographed holding the box to her heart as I'm sure you probably know.Some of the Tin Types were generously lent to me to scan and restore and we are not exactly sure of the identities of each of Diannah's children in the pictures.Could you possibly identify them?I can transfer the photos to you via email or make prints and mail them to you.
I think it's wonderful that you're donating Diannah's sewing kit to the Smithsonian for all to enjoy, and her fascinating life story is certainly worthy of a place in history.
Hope to hear from you soon.
