*Email from Jayne Pratt Lovelace:
"My guess is that the Joshua Pratt who bought the land from Eunice and Reuben was the one born in 1765, brother of Consider Pratt who witnessed it. Consider and this Joshua were both first cousins of Eunice's husband, also named Joshua Pratt. (Try to imagine what it was like for me, just starting to research in 1975, with all these Joshuas! Seven of the first eight generations in my Pratt line were named Joshua, and they ALL lived in Plymouth County!)
"Nathaniel Pratt, who was guardian of Eunice's daughter before she chose her stepfather, was either the older brother of Consider and Joshua, or their father, also named Nathaniel.
"I haven't come across anything helpful on where the Bisbees are buried, but it appears that Eunice and Joshua Pratt had only two daughters before Joshua died--no sons. Abigail prob. m. 1775 Prince Allen of Dartmouth, and Eunice prob. m. 1779 Jonathan Nye of Middleboro." --Correspondence from Jayne Pratt Lovelace:[B]
