Descendants of John Pratt

Generation 3
On 10 March 1633/4 "Phineas Prat, joiner, in the behalf of Marah his
wife," exchanged thirty acres near the high cliff with Mr. Thomas Prence, for
another thirty acres at Winslow's [PCR 1:26]. On 14 March 1635/6 Phineas
Pratt was to have hayground "between Fr[ancis] Billington and his own
house" and on 20 March 1636/7 he was granted the same hay ground he
and Mr. Coomes had the last year [PCR 1:40, 56]. On 1 June 1640 Phineas
Pratt was granted five acres of meadow [PCR 1:154]. On 2 November 1640
he was granted six acres in the north meadow by Joanes River [PCR
1:166]. On 5 August 1640 he joined John Combe, gentleman, in selling the
acre that came to him from Godbert Godbertson in marriage to
Godbertson's step-daughter [PCR 12:61]. On 26 August 1646 "Phineas
Prate of Plimoth, joiner," sold to John Cooke Jr. of Plymouth, planter, "all
that his house & housing and garden place and orchard ... and fifty acres of
upland, two acres of meadow at Joanes River ... [and] six acres of upland
meadow"; Mary, his wife, consented to this sale, as did "Samuell Cudberte"
[PCR 12:137-38]. He was twenty-eighth on the list of purchasers [PCR
2:177].
On 5 June 1658 the court allowed "Phenias Prat" to look for a tract of land
to accommodate himself and his posterity [PCR 3:139]. Phineas Pratt and
Elder Bates (in behalf of the children of Clement Briggs) petitioned the court
and the court ordered on 8 June 1664 that since Briggs and Pratt had not
received their proportions of land as other "Purchasers" had, two of Briggs's
sons and Pratt were to have three hundred and fifty acres granted to them
[PCR 4:68]. On 7 June 1665 "Pheneas Pratt and James Lovell" were
granted "a certain parcel of meadow ... lying on the westerly side of Phenias
Pratt's land that was granted unto him the last June Court ... to be equally
divided betwixt them" [PCR 4:97]. On 1 January 1672/3 Phineas and Mary
Pratt of Charlestown sold to John Shaw Sr. of Weymouth the land granted to
them by the court on 8 June 1664 and 7 June 1665 [PCLR 3:271].

On 30 June 1676 "Phineas Pratt aged eighty-one years" deposed "that


the lands formerly which I did live upon and did enjoy at Plimouth ...
containing twenty acres ... was granted by the Court unto Mr. John
Combs" [MD 2:46, citing PLR 1:81].
On 20 May 1648 George Bunker sold to "Phinias Prat" a house and
garden in Charlestown [ChBOP 99]. Phineas Pratt drew lot #54 in the 1
March 1657/8 division of wood and commons on Mystic Side [ChBOP 77].
On 21 January 1662/3, Phineas Pratt and wife Mary sold to John Smith a
woodlot in Charlestown [MLR 10:136].
In payment for his history of the early settlement entitled A Declaration of
the Affairs of the English People That First Inhabited New England, the
General Court on 7 May 1662 granted him three hundred acres "where it is to
be had, not hindering a plantation" [MBCR
4:2:56]; on 20 October 1664 this land was laid out "east of Merremack
River, near the upper end of Nacooke Brook, on the southeast of it"
[MBCR 4:2:154-55]. In October 1668 Phineas Pratt again petitioned the
General Court asking for further assistance [MHSC 4:4:487-88; MD
4:134-35], but this petition went unanswered. Although the General Court
declined his request, the selectmen of Charlestown provided amply for
him for the rest of his life [MD 4:135-36, citing Charlestown Town Orders
3:96, 100, 205, 4:2, 16, 17].
In his will, dated 8 January 1677[/8] and proved 15 June 1680, "Phinias
Pratt of Charlstown ... joiner, being very aged and crazy of body,"
bequeathed to "my beloved wife Mary Pratt all my moveable goods and 40s.
a year to be paid out of my land in Charlestowne and the use of the garden
for term of her life"; "this 40s. is to be paid by my

son Joseph Pratt for and in consideration of the having of my land and my
wife is to have a convenient room of my son Joseph with a chimney in it
to her content to live in for term of her life, without
molestation or trouble, but if my son Joseph doth not perform this will
that then my wife Mary Pratt shall have the one half of the land to her
disposing for her best comfort; it is to be understood that the one half
which the new house standeth on is given to Joseph upon the condition
of providing of a convenient room for me and my wife for term of our
lives and this other half for the paying of the 40s. a year"; residue at the
death "of my wife it shall be equally divided among all my children" [MPR
Case #12762; MD 4:139].
The inventory of the estate of "Phinias Prat of Charlstown, deceased,"
was taken 21 May 1680 and totalled £40 16s. 6d., including real estate
valued at £24: "a parcel of land," £18; and "cow common in Charlstown
stinted common," £6 [MPR Case #12762; MD 4:139-40].
The town of Charlestown supported the widow Pratt with a small
annual stipend, as seen in town orders dated 5 February 1683/4 and 7
March 1686/7 [MD 4:137, citing Charlestown Town Orders 4:56, 84]. On
31 July 1738 the court's commissioners examined the estate of
Phineas Pratt and determined that a share be given to each of the
children, including the heirs of sons John and Peter, who were then
dead. Although most of the other children were also deceased at that
date, they were not so noted. The children listed were John, Samuel,
Daniel, Peter, Mary, Joseph, Aaron and Mercy [MD 4:138]. BIRTH:
About 1593 (deposed 30 June 1674 aged "eighty-one years or
thereabouts" [MD 2:46, citing PLR 1:81], but see the inscription on his
tombstone, which would make him slightly older). DEATH: Charlestown
19 April 1680 ("Pinas Pratt [Senr.], of Charlstowne, joiner, died Apr. 19,
1680 [one of the 1st Planters in New England]" [ChVR 1:110]. The
inscription on his tombstone is frequently quoted: "Fugit Hora. Here lies
the body of Phinehas Pratt ag[e]d about 90 y[ea]rs dec[ease]d April the
19 1680 & was one of the first English inhabitants of the Massachusets
Colony" [MHSC 4:4:476].
MARRIAGE: By about 1633 Mary Priest, daughter of DEGORY PRIEST and
Sarah (Allerton) (Vincent) Priest, and step-daughter of GODBERT
GODBERTSON. (On 3 August 1640 "Josuah Pratt" deposed regarding two
acres of upland at Wellingsly Brook that were given by Godbert Godbertson to
JOHN COOMBE, gentleman, and Phineas Pratt, in marriage with their wives,
his [Godbertson's] step-daughters [PCR 1:159]. On 11 November 1633,
Phineas Pratt was appointed to "take into his possession all the goods and
chattels of Godbert Godbertson & Zarah, his wife, & safely to preserve them"
[PCR 1:19].) She is likely the "Widow Pratt lately died" at Charlestown in July
1689 [MD 4:136, citing Charlestown Town Orders 4:93].

CHILDREN:

ASSOCIATIONS: See JOSHUA PRATT for a discussion of the likelihood that
he and Phineas Pratt were brothers.
COMMENTS: According to his Declaration, Phinehas Pratt was one of ten men
who came to the new world on behalf of THOMAS WESTON, in the ship
Sparrow in 1622. They arrived far up the coast at "Damorall's Cove" where they
attempted to acquire a pilot, but none among the fishing ships there nor the
Indians would assist them. Sailing down the coast, they recognized Plymouth
when a round of celebratory ordnance greeted
them. Two further ships with Weston's men followed and by August 1622 the
settlement of Wessagusset [Weymouth] was commenced. Unfortunately, they
spent their time building fortifications and were soon starving.
On learning of the intent of some Indians to wipe out the English at both
Wessagussett and Plymouth, Pratt determined to travel on foot to
Plymouth to warn the settlement and look for help. Pursued through the
snow, he lost his way, and consequently lost his pursuers who better
knew the path. Arriving nearly exhausted "running down a hill I [saw] an
English man coming in the path before me. Then I sat down on a tree &
rising up to salute him said, `Mr. Hamdin, I am glad to see you alive.' He
said, `I am glad & full of wonder to see you alive: let us sit down, I see you
are weary'" [MD 4:91-92]. Miles Standish and his company, now amply
warned, set out on a preemptive attack, which warded off the anticipated
danger. Phineas made his home at Plymouth for a quarter of a century
thereafter.
On 5 November 1644 "Thomas Bunting, dwelling with Phineas Pratt,
hath, with and by the consent of the said Phineas, put himself as a
servant to dwell with John Cooke, Junior ... during the term of eight years
... the said John Cooke having paid the said Phineas for him one milch
cow ... and 40s. in money and is to lead the said Phineas two loads of
hay yearly during the term of seven years" [PCR 2:78]. BIBLIOGRAPHIC
NOTE: The full text of Phineas Pratt's remarkable narration was
published in 1858 [MHSC 4:4:476].
Rodney MacDonough prepared in 1902 a com~pre~hensive biography of
Phineas [MacDonough-Hackstaff 382-423; MD 4:87-98, 129-140]. The eighth
volume of the Five Generations Project of the General Society of Mayflower
Descendants, covering the descendants of Degory Priest, includes
information on the children, grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of Phineas
Pratt; our estimation of the ages of the children of Phineas Pratt differs
slightly from the estimations made
in this study

Children of Phineas Pratt and Mary Priest Pratt are:

i. Joshua Pratt.

daughter of William Kingham Fay and Catherine Bates Fay. She was born on 01 Jan 1593 in
England[5]. She died on 1673 in Plymouth, Mass[2].
Notes for JOSHUA PRATT:
Joshua Pratt came to American in the ship "Anne" 1623, and was
allotted land among "the old comers". His widow, Bathsheba,
administered upon his estate October 6, 1656. He was one of the
original thirty-six purchases of Dartmouth, who met at Plymouth, March 7,
1652.
The Ship "ANNE"
The ship "Anne" arrived the later part of June, and the "Little James" a
week or ten days later. A number of passengers were wives and children
of persons already in the Colony. The ship "Anne" arrived in Plymouth,
Massachusetts July 10, 1623 accompanied by the "Little James", bringing
new settlers along with many wives and children that had been left behind
in leyden when the Mayflower departed in 1620. On 5 December 1637
Abraham Pierce sold to Josuah Pratt a house and garden place in
Plymouth.

delayed entry of a grant made during Pratt's lifetime ) [PTR 1:63]. BIRTH: By
about 1605 based on estimated date of marriage. DEATH: Plymouth after 29
June 1652 (when he served on a coroner's jury [PCR 3:15]) and before 5
October 1656 (date of administration).
MARRIAGE: By about 1630 Bathsheba _____ (assuming she was the mother of
all his children); she married (2) Plymouth 29 August 1667 "John Doged
[Doggett] of Martha's Vineyard" [MD 8:31] (see JOHN DOGGETT). CHILDREN:

i BENAJAH, b. say 1630; m. Plymouth 29 November 1655 Persis


Dunham [MD 8:17], daughter of JOHN DUNHAM [TAG 30:145]. (The death
record for Benajah Pratt, as published, reads "Benajah Prat, March,
17: in his s[worn]" [PChR 249], entered in a place that would make the date
17 March 1682/3. This might be supposed to mean that he was sixty years
old or more, which would place his birth about 1622. Were this true he
would be a full decade older than his siblings and he should be accounted
for in the 1627 Plymouth division of cattle. The more likely explanation is
that the worn entry has been misread and the word that has been read as
beginning with "s" actually begins with "f" for some age in the fifties.)

ii HANNAH, b. say 1632; m. Plymouth 18 March 1651[/2?] William


Spooner [MD 8:13] (as his second wife [PCR 8:5]).
iii JONATHAN, b. say 1637; m. (1) Plymouth 2 November 1664
Abigail Wood [PCR 8:25]; m. (2) Taunton 3 March 1689/90 Elizabeth
(White) Hall [NEHGR 13:252], daughter of Nicholas White and widow of
Samuel Hall (on 29 October 1698 Elizabeth Pratt, widow, of Taunton,
receipted for her legacy from the estate of her father, Nicholas White
[BrPR 2:11; TAG 17:196]).
iv BATHSHEBA, b. about 1639 (deposed in 1661 aged 22 [Wyman 773,
apparently citing Middlesex Court Files]); m. Charlestown [blank] December
1662 "Josua Ris" [ChVR 1:42; Wyman 773, 808], son of ROBERT ROICE.

ASSOCIATIONS: Joshua Pratt and PHINEAS PRATT have many times been
called brothers. Though there is no direct evidence of this relationship, much
circumstantial evidence points in that direction. They received joint grants in the
1623 Plymouth division of land, and they were listed consecutively in the 1639
Plymouth list of freemen. Bathsheba, the daughter of Joshua, married in
Charlestown, where her uncle Phineas Pratt was living at the time; she may
have been placed
in his household after her father's death.
Since we know that Phineas Pratt came in 1622 as one of THOMAS
WESTON's men, and not in 1623 on the Anne as indicated in the 1623
land division, we might wonder whether Joshua also came in 1622 in the
same manner. Although this is possible, it seems unlikely, for otherwise we
would expect that Phineas, in his narrative of his trials and tribulations that
first winter in New England, would have made mention of his brother.

COMMENTS: On the assumption that Joshua Pratt married in Plymouth, the


range of families which might have supplied his wife Bathsheba is quite limited.
There is no Bathsheba in any family listed in the 1627 Plymouth cattle division,
yet Joshua was married by about 1630. This suggests strongly that his wife
was a member of one of the families that arrived in Plymouth in late 1629 and
early 1630, many of which had come from Leiden. Joshua's elder son Benajah
married the daughter of JOHN DUNHAM, one of these late arrivals from
Leiden, and Dunham had named a younger son Benajah, some years after the
birth of Benajah Pratt, but more than fifteen years before the marriage of
Benajah

Pratt to Persis Dunham. Jonathan is apparently another name used by
both Dunham and Pratt.
Some sources claim that Joshua Pratt's wife was named Bathsheba
Fay. There is no evidence for this, and no Fay family in Plymouth who
might have supplied such a wife. This false claim apparently arises from
the misinterpretation of the marriage in Marlborough, Massachusetts, of
John Pratt and Bathsheba Fay on 4 January 1715/6.
On 5 November 1638, for some unseen offence, Josuah Pratt of
Plymouth, yeoman, was fined £10 and was "released" [PCR 1:101].
On 3 August 1640 Josuah Pratt deposed regarding two acres of upland at
Wellingsly Brook that were given by Godbert Godbertson to John Combe,
gentleman, and Phineas Pratt, in marriage with their wives (Godbertson's
stepdaughters) [PCR 1:159].
Full Context of Plymouth Colony, History and People
xxx Also on 5 March 1638/39, the General Court ordered that Mr. Nicholas
Simpkins, William Palmer, Philip Tabor, and Josiah Barnes of Yarmouth be
added to Thatcher, Howes, and Crow as commissioners. They were to make a
division of planting lands "to eich man according to his estate and quallitie."
Joshua Pratt of Plymouth and John Vincent were also appointed to determine
if lands occupied by Andrew Hallett were prejudicial to the other settlers, in
which case some rearrangement would be made. On 3 September 1639 the
court decided that Mr. Andrew Hallett could have his great 200-acre lot.
Otherwise, though, the court prohibited anyone in Yarmouth from purchasing
two or more house lots and putting up a single house on them. On 7 October
1639 the General Court ordered the town of Yarmouth to build a pair of stocks
and a pound, and the constable was authorized to confiscate goods from
anyone who refused to pay an assessment for the costs of these, as well as
for the travel of Yarmouth commissioners to attend the court at Plymouth.
Probably reacting from the experience at Sandwich, on 3 March 1639/40 the
General Court ordered that Yarmouth could accept no more inhabitants unless
"they bring certificate from the places whence they come, under sufficient
mens hands of the sd places, of their religious and honest carriage, wch
certyficate shall

first be allowed by the govnr and assistants before such psons be


admitted there." At the same time, complaints against Yarmouth
commissioners Thatcher, Crow, and Howes for unfair division of lands
were rejected, the [p.67] court approving of their work. By 1643
Yarmouth had forty-nine names on the list of men able to bear arms.
