JOSEFP PRATT, of Bridgewater (son of II. Joseph), b. Feb. 2, 16G5 ; d. Jan. li, 1765 ; m. (1) Sarah Benson, of Hull, by whom he had twenty children. He m.(2) Ann Richards, of Weymouth, Dec. 11, 1721 ; she d. March 21, 1766, aged 92 years, without issue.

Both Family Search and WikiTree has Sarah Benson as his wife, NOT this Sarah Stone. Is this a bad merge?

thanks for bringing this into a Discussion.

I recently came across these Pratts (grandparents and cousins)... and found them totally mixed up and tried to fix..Seemed to be a generational problem, . I looked through the history of the related profiles and it seems to be something done in 2016 putting Sarah Stone as a mom of many of the kids...

Thanks so much for this source, as I think it resolves the mystery I had... because someone has mixed up the Sr, Jr, III,,, etc... but I am thinking someone maybe used the II and III for the Josephs based on that being in this book by their name, althought they are actually Sr, and Jr. (I and II)....

but the book was using those as references to generation from Mathew Pratt.

I have some other Pratt resources more current, so let me go through this today.. I was looking for a project... I will start up at Matthew to see what's in the GENI tree and go down 3 gens and that might sort it out
