My grandfather is William Leonard Pruitt, he often went by either Bill or Leonard. As far as I can tell he was born in LaGrange, GA on 22 August 1914, he had a sister whose name may be Ruby and a brother whose name I believe is Ben Pruitt (written on the back of a photo). I found William Leonard Pruitt in the 1930 census with the Johnson Family in Bosque County, TX (on this it says he was born in AL and so were his parents, but my mother says he was born in LaGrange, GA... his parents may have been born in AL). His mother died when he was very young (I am assuming she died between 1920-1930 as Bill is not listed with the Johnson family in 1920, but is in 1930) and he and his brother and sister were sent to different homes. I have heard that his father left before his mom died and that as an adult he visited him once. He served in WWII as a SGT Us Army. He later died of cancer in 1978. He is buried in LaGrange, GA with the military marker. I am looking for the names of his parents, grandparents, ANY family that may know his family history and/or have photos of him or his parents or grandparents ... etc. He has some relatives whose names I know as well, but I believe the names I have are mostly deceased except possibly a niece because the rest would be his aunts and/or uncles. I would also like to find the families that raised his brother and sister and the Johnson family that raised him. I am hoping to get stories, photos, lineage, etc... and to get to know my grandfather whom I have heard varied stories about, but never knew. If you have any information, please post it here. Thanks!
