Subject - Personal Pratt, Thomas. grantee.

[There was an earlier grant to a Thomas Pratt in Culpeper Co. for 216 acres bearing date 11 August 1766, which may have been the Thomas father of Sally; however, there is a Thomas Pratt, age over 45, enumerated in the 1820 Culpepper Co. census, so the evidence here is not conclusive.]
___________

[I have at least temporarily assigned Sarah, James, William, John and David Pratt as children of the Thomas Pratt who was demonstrably in Amherst Co., Virginia in 1792. The evidence is the 1792 land record; the fact that Sarah was married in Amherst Co.; and the extensive census/marriage records of the Pratt family in Knox Co., Tennessee.--vto 2008]
