One hypothesis of our original US ancestor

Samuel Prevo -- Birth, immigration and marriage dates have, so far, been lost to us for this "first generation" of US members of our Prevo Family. What is known is that he was a protestant and members of the family living the United States practiced the teachings of Quakerism from at least the 1780s through the 1890s. It is quite possible; however, this was a conversion from their roots as French Camisards (French Calvinists) who emmigrated from the Souther Lozere and Gard regions of Franche near Alais and Florac.
