Susanna, Thomas and Ebenezer Pratt, all of Sherborn, posted bond 14 Dec. 1692 on the estate of Thomas Pratt who lived in Sherborn. On 16 Nov. 1696 the heirs made an agreement. Susanna was to enjoy her thirds. The eldest son was Thomas. Sons Jonathan, David, and Jabez were to pay shares to their brethren, Josepoh, Ephraim, Philip, and Nathaniel, and to their sister Abiel, wife of Daniel Bigelow. All made their marks except Thomas who signed his name.

Thomas Pratt, b. ca. 1615, prob. England. In Watertown, MA as early as 1647 when he took Freeman's Oath, [citing GENEALOGICAL REGISTER OF FIRST FAMILIES OF NEW ENGLAND; John A. Farmer; Lancaster, MA, Carter , Andrews & Company; 1829] to be father of Thomas of Weymouth. Much confusion in several ref. regarding Thomas of Watertown. However, Chandler states that he was son of Joshua of Plymouth, pure and erroneous guesswork [citing HISTORY OF IPSWICH, NH, 17 35-1914;Charles H. Chandler and Sarah Fiske Lee; Fitchburg. MA; Sentinel Printing Co.1914]. A Thomas Pratt died 8 Feb 1705/6 in Watertown which should certainly prove he was not the same as but was probably father of Thomas who b 1636 who d. 1692 in Sherborn [how does the author know the age of Thomas Pratt d 1705 - could have been a child?]. This premise is also presented in similar terms by Kenneth Charles Pratt who proposes that Thomas Pratt of Watertown b 1636 who died in 1692 was son of a father Thoams Pratt ca 1615, both of Watertown. Authorities disagree whether there were a father/son both name of Thomas or only one. Certain facts indicate there were two, probably father/son. The younger married Susannah and d. 26 Sept 1692, Sherborn, Middlesex at which time widow Susannah was granted adimistration of his estate. He is probably the same who took Oath of Allegiance 1652, at least 16 years of age. Stephen D. Pratt, author of Thomas Pratt of Watertown, Mass. and a few of his Framingham and Oxford descendants, 1635-1816 (Framinham, MA: S.D. Pratt, 1970) [copy available at Western Reserve Historical Society Bath, Ohio] authored an excellent report on this family including land records, maps, and biographical data. He suggests that Thomas of Watertown may have been he who in 1635 left Gravesend, England on the "America" age 17, bound for Virginia. However, if that passenger disembarked at Boston, he was probably Thomas Pratt of Malden and brother of Richard Pratt of Malden, also of Gravesend. An unpublished genealogy of Thomas Gleason and wife Susannah of Watertown contains a typewritten note: "It is very probable that Thomas [Gleason] and Susannah Gleason had another daughter born ca. 1639 who married ca. 1655 Thomas Pratt of Watertown who in 1678 bought land in Framingha m next to Thomas Gleason Jr." [citing Marjorie E. Bowers, 1101 S. BayRoad, Olympia, W A 98506, Katherine S. Moore, 20001 Marine Dr. N. W.Stanwood, WA 98292] "Thomas and Susanna Gleason probably would have named a daughter Susanna but no complete list of their heirs exists. The children in the Gleason genealogy are listed by circumstantial evidence. Thomas and Susannah Gleason could certainly have had a child old enough to marry Thomas Pratt by 1655. Thomas Gleason Jr. owned land adjacent to other land in Sudbury bought by Thomas Pratt 1678. Thomas Pratt Sr. was one of those who took inventory of Thomas Gleason Jr.'s estate in 1705. Susanna, daughter of Thomas Gleason, if she was such, had eldest bro. Thomas; here next four bros. were Joseph , John, Philip and Nathaniel in that order. Thomas and Susannah Pratt used the same four names in that order for their sons, althogh others in between. This claim [that Susannah Pratt was nee Gleason] deserves further search althogh there is not much chance of better evidence. On this basis I have tentatively listed the wife of Thomas Pratt as Susannah Gleason althogh unproved." Children:
Thomas, b. 1656
Abigail/Abiel ca. 1658
Ebenezer, ca 1660
Joseph ca. 1662
John ca. 1665
Philip ca. 1667
Ephraim ca. 1669
Nathaniel ca. 1671
Jonathan ca 1673
David ca 1675
Jabez ca 1677
