Abram was a son of Elizabeth "Betsy" Cook and Jacob Prevett. He married Lucy Ball on 4 Feb 1854 in Wilkes County, North Carolina. He was conscripted into the CSA 15 Oct 1862--Co K 42 NC Inf. He died in a hospital in Wilmington, NC, of Febris Continua. Family members have been told that he was buried here at home.
Lucy and Abram's children included Moses W, Mary E, Nancy B, Arminda "Minda," and Tobitha "Bitha." On the 1900 census Lucy is said to have given birth to 6 children, 2 of whom were still living; Nancy B is listed only on the 1860 census, Minda died during the 1880's, and Bitha died 2 or 3 years before the 1900 census.
Prevett has been spelled many ways in the historical records, including Prevett, Privett, Privitt, and Previtt, as well as those spellings with a single t or an e on the end. Abram's last name is given as Prevett on most of his Civil War records; it is evident that some of his children have used Privette, which is the spelling used on Lucy's pension application. Lucy was described as being illiterate on her death certificate and noted on census records as being unable to read and write, so it is uncertain if she chose the Privette spelling herself. Their son Moses went by Prevette.
