; per Hurley [1996], Pratt Families of Virginia, pp. 232-233: Jonathan Pratt 1714-1781
     "This early member of the Pratt family is included here in order to preserve a fairly substantial record, although no evidence has been discovered as yet linking him to the Pratts who are the principal individuals now under study. In 1990, W. M. Pratt and his wife, from Kennewick, Washington, were visiting in my home county of Montgomery, in Maryland. At the Mormon library in Salt Lake City, they had seen a copy of my first genealogical effort, The Ancestry of William Neal Hurley, 111, printed in 1985, in which a section was devoted to the Pratt families. They contacted me on arrival in the area, and we had a day or so of pleasant visiting with them, and two of their daughters. They gave me a copy of a small pamphlet, entitled Pratt Profiles, The Saga of a Pratt Family, The (Probable) Ancestry of and Some Descendants o/ Jonathan Pratt of Newberry County, South Carolina, written by Grace Pratt Thomas, but not published. Incidentally, the children of W. M. Pratt are part owners of the major development firm known as Folger-Pratt, one of the more important, well-known commercial firms in the Washington metropolitan area.
     "Jonathan Pratt appears in deed records of Orange County, Virginia as early as June 25, 1740, at which time he purchased a tract of land containing 200 acres from Richard Mauldin, located on branches of the Robinson River. On July 22, 1741, he purchased from Martin Duett a tract of 150 acres on the great fork of the Rappahannock River near the thoroughfare mountain road. Present day roads in this area (now Madison County, Virginia) are United States route 29, and state road 231. Along the latter, there is a very small, simple, cross-road area known as Pratts, undoubtedly named for the family. Another deed, acknowledged May 22, 1748, contains a lease from Henry Shorter for 100 acres in the fork of the Rappahannock River upon Beaver Dam.
     "According to IGI records of the Mormon Church, Jonathan was born about 1714. He was apparently married twice; first about 1739 to an unknown girl, born about 1718: his second wife being Mary, widow of Christian Redman, and the mother of a son and daughter from that marriage: John and Katherine Redman.
A deed dated May 15, 1775, in Culpeper County, Virginia, was executed by John Redman, Jonathan Pratt and Mary Pratt, his wife, conveying lands which formerly belonged to Christian Redman. it should be noted that Culpeper County was formed in 1748 from part of Orange County, and that Jonathan Pratt lived in the area that became part of the new county.
     "In 1768, Jonathan made a deed of gift to his son, James, for 180 acres of land, for natural love and affection. He also gave a tract of 150 acres to his son, Jonathan Pratt, Jr., for natural love and affection, which was part of the original land he had acquired. Each of these gifts was to become effective upon the death of their father. In 1762, Jonathan assigned the right of use and possession of a tract of land along the Mountain Road to Robert Mansell for a period of twenty years dating from 1762. This would lead to an assumption that Jonathan may have had a daughter who married to Robert Mansell. Records of Virginia and South Carolina indicate that members of the Pratt, Mansell and Redman families lived near each other, and were presumably related.
     "The will of Jonathan is dated October 24, 1777 and probated May 4, 1781, indicating that he probably died early that year. He left his principal estate to his son Thomas, and gave to his wife's daughter Katherine Redman, a bed and one cow. The inventory of estate was taken August 20, 1781, and indicates that he was rather well-to-do for the time.
     "Following the death of his father, James Pratt conveyed the property that had been given to him to his brother Thomas, b~' deed dated August 23, 1781. At that time, James was said to be of Bedford County, Virginia. Jonathan Pratt, Jr.. also conveyed his lands as gifted by his father, to his brother Thomas in 1769, at which time Jonathan, Jr. was said to be living in Montgomery County, Virginia.
     "Jonathan Pratt appears to have been the father of at least three sons, and perhaps a daughter, all presumed to have been born from his first marriage, probably in Orange County, Virginia:

Jonathan Pratt (Sr.) left a will on 24 October 1777.¹

Jonathan Pratt (Sr.) and Jonathan Pratt Jr. appeared in the census of 1783 at Tax List, Culpeper Co., Virginia, USA; There are Thomas, Jonathan and Joseph PRATT all listed on the Culpeper Co, VA tax list for 1783 by Norris [1936:13].

Four PRATT households appear on two consecutive pages of the 1810 federal census of Culpeper County, Virginia: Thomas Sr., Thomas, Jr., John/Jonathan ("Jno") and Isaiah PRATT. The order of enumeration in the 1810 census seems to be more or less alphabetical and does not necessarily imply geographical proximity pf the households. According to the census listings:

Thomas Pratt, 1740-1814
This son of Jonathan Pratt (1714), probably his eldest, was born c. 1740, probably in Orange County, Virginia. Married Mary Ann, and died c. 1814 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He was probably married in the early 1760s, and appears in several transactions of land in Culpeper and Madison Counties. He lived in Culpeper at the time of his death, but the original tract of land which he inherited from his father was in Madison, created from Culpeper in 1792.
Distribution of his estate, dated 1815, is found in Will Book 1, page 43, in which his heirs are mentioned by name. His wife is not mentioned in the distribution, and is presumed to have either predcceased her husband, or to have received her one-third dower prior to distribution of the remainder. This may be the same Thomas Pratt shown as head of household in the 1810 census of the county. The family included one male over 45 years (Thomas); one male 26 to 45; one male under 10; one female 26 to 45 (perhaps Mary Ann): and eleven slaves. Their children, all born in Culpeper County, Virginia, included:
1.     Elizabeth, born c. 1762; died c. 1807 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Married c. 1782 in Culpeper County, Virginia, to James Graves.
2.     Josiah, born e. 1764; died before December 28, 1827 in Cu!-peper County, Virginia. Married there December 16, 1789 to Mary Beckham,
3.     Susannah.
4.     Thomas, Jr., married first January 7, 1796 to Elizabeth Smith and second December 2, 1812 to Martha (Patsy) Terrll, both in Culpeper County, Virginia. He moved to Warren County, Missouri, and probably died there. It is interesting to note that Henry Thompson Pratt (1861), a half-brother of the author's mother, spent the last part of his life in Warrensburg, Missouri where he is buried.
5.     Jonathan, married in Culpeper County on February 5, 1803 to Hannah Roberts; and died c. 1815 in Madison County.
6.     Jane; married in Culpeper County March 4. 1800 to Briscoe Smith; and died before 18 15. At least one daughter:

This son of Jonathan Pratt (1714), probably his eldest, was born c. 1740, probably in Orange County, Virginia. Married Mary Ann, and died c. 1814 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He was probably married in the early 1760s, and appears in several transactions of land in Culpeper and Madison Counties. He lived in Culpeper at the time of his death, but the original tract of land which he inherited from his father was in Madison, created from Culpeper in 1792.
Distribution of his estate, dated 1815, is found in Will Book 1, page 43, in which his heirs are mentioned by name. His wife is not mentioned in the distribution, and is presumed to have either predcceased her husband, or to have received her one-third dower prior to distribution of the remainder. This may be the same Thomas Pratt shown as head of household in the 1810 census of the county. The family included one male over 45 years (Thomas); one male 26 to 45; one male under 10; one female 26 to 45 (perhaps Mary Ann): and eleven slaves. Their children, all born in Culpeper County, Virginia, included:
1.     Elizabeth, born c. 1762; died c. 1807 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Married c. 1782 in Culpeper County, Virginia, to James Graves.
2.     Josiah, born e. 1764; died before December 28, 1827 in Cu!-peper County, Virginia. Married there December 16, 1789 to Mary Beckham,
3.     Susannah.
4.     Thomas, Jr., married first January 7, 1796 to Elizabeth Smith and second December 2, 1812 to Martha (Patsy) Terrll, both in Culpeper County, Virginia. He moved to Warren County, Missouri, and probably died there. It is interesting to note that Henry Thompson Pratt (1861), a half-brother of the author's mother, spent the last part of his life in Warrensburg, Missouri where he is buried.
5.     Jonathan, married in Culpeper County on February 5, 1803 to Hannah Roberts; and died c. 1815 in Madison County.
6.     Jane; married in Culpeper County March 4. 1800 to Briscoe Smith; and died before 18 15. At least one daughter:
a. Mary Ann.
7.     Jesse; married in Culpeper County, February 24, 1813 Milley Johnson, and died late in 1818.
8.     James.¹

Thomas Pratt, 1740-1814
This son of Jonathan Pratt (1714), probably his eldest, was born c. 1740, probably in Orange County, Virginia. Married Mary Ann, and died c. 1814 in Culpeper County, Virginia. He was probably married in the early 1760s, and appears in several transactions of land in Culpeper and Madison Counties. He lived in Culpeper at the time of his death, but the original tract of land which he inherited from his father was in Madison, created from Culpeper in 1792.
Distribution of his estate, dated 1815, is found in Will Book 1, page 43, in which his heirs are mentioned by name. His wife is not mentioned in the distribution, and is presumed to have either predcceased her husband, or to have received her one-third dower prior to distribution of the remainder. This may be the same Thomas Pratt shown as head of household in the 1810 census of the county. The family included one male over 45 years (Thomas); one male 26 to 45; one male under 10; one female 26 to 45 (perhaps Mary Ann): and eleven slaves. Their children, all born in Culpeper County, Virginia, included:
1.     Elizabeth, born c. 1762; died c. 1807 in Rockcastle County, Kentucky. Married c. 1782 in Culpeper County, Virginia, to James Graves.
2.     Josiah, born e. 1764; died before December 28, 1827 in Cu!-peper County, Virginia. Married there December 16, 1789 to Mary Beckham,
3.     Susannah.
4.     Thomas, Jr., married first January 7, 1796 to Elizabeth Smith and second December 2, 1812 to Martha (Patsy) Terrll, both in Culpeper County, Virginia. He moved to Warren County, Missouri, and probably died there. It is interesting to note that Henry Thompson Pratt (1861), a half-brother of the author's mother, spent the last part of his life in Warrensburg, Missouri where he is buried.
5.     Jonathan, married in Culpeper County on February 5, 1803 to Hannah Roberts; and died c. 1815 in Madison County.
6.     Jane; married in Culpeper County March 4. 1800 to Briscoe Smith; and died before 18 15. At least one daughter:
a. Mary Ann.
7.     Jesse; married in Culpeper County, February 24, 1813 Milley Johnson, and died late in 1818.

Excommunicated rebels
     "In September 1215, the papal commissioners in England – Subdeacon Pandulf, Peter des Roches, Bishop of Winchester, and Simon, Abbot of Reading – excommunicated the rebels, acting on instructions earlier received from Rome. A letter sent by the commissioners from Dover on 5 September to Archbishop Langton explicitly names nine senior rebel barons (all members of the Council of Twenty-Five), and six clerics numbered among the rebel ranks:[67]
