Possibly a daughter of the Thomas Pratt who was granted 150 acres of land on the branches of the south fork of Rockfish River in Amherst County, Virginia in 1792 [the online image for this grant shows that Pratt already owned land contiguous to this new grant]. This Thomas may in turn be the same as he granted 400 acres of land in Culpepper Co. in 1766.
