Presley Pritchett married Martha Hewlett in Tennessee, moved to Muhlenburg County, Kentucky from 1805-1818, working as a hatter. They lived also in Hopkins County, in Madisonville, being the first settlers there, and ran a tavern, about 1807-1808, returning later to Muhlenburg County.

I am looking for any information on this family while in Hopkins Co., Ky.

Thx,

Hello Bev,
I have a Hewlett Family History published in 1956 by a cousin. Martha Hewlett was born in 1787 to Martin & Jane Henry Moseley Hewlett of New Kent Co VA. In 1786 they left Va and moved to Greene Co SC where my Samuel Hewlett was born in 1788. In 1790 the Hewletts had arrived in Muhlenberg Co. KY and by 1800 living in Hopkins Co. Kentucky. Martin Hewlett (martha'a father) died in 1816 in Muhlenberg Co and his Will is found there along with a settlement of his estate. His wife Jane Hewlett died after August 1831 in Hopkins Co, KY and she names all 8 of her children in her will, including a grandson named Allison Hewlett. My Samuel Hewlett left Kentucky in 1839 and then moved to Lawrence County MO where today the Hewletts are known as 1 of the 12 Original Pioneer Families to the area.
There is a Reunion luncheon (bring a covered dish) held on the 3d Sunday in September in Monette, MO.

Here are her siblings:
Ann Hewlett Harvey b 1784 mar John Harvey 1800 Hopkins Co.
Alfred b 1785 mar Elizabeth Littlepage
Martha b 1787 mar Presley Pritchett
Samuel b 1788 mar 3X, Caldwell Co. 3d Wife Abagil Smith of Nashville, Davidson Co TN mar 1828; moved to Lawrence CO mO. He had 10 children; 5 by Eleanor McDaniel and 5 by Abagail Smith. bur Mt Olivet Baptist Church Cemetery, Pierce City.
Lemuel G, b 1790 Warren Co KY mar Rebecca Browder in 1817. Lemuel was the most famous of the Hewletts in that he served in War of 1812 in New Orleans with Gen Andrew Jackson and lost a thumb while firing his rifle against the British.
Isham Hewlett b 1792 mar Betty Harris
