[ref 30] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - John Pratt was born at Plymouth and no doubt went with his father from there to Charlestown soon after the twenty-sixth of August, 1646, when Phineas sold his Plymouth property to John Cooke (Francis), but he must have removed from Charlestown not long after, for there is no trace of him there or elsewhere until 1671, when he is found at Kingstowne, Rhode Island, where, on May 20, he took the oath of allegiance (RI Colonial records II:391). The exact date of his removal to Oyster Bay, Long Island is not known, but it must have been after December 23, 1676, the date of the birth of his daughter Mercy, which is recorded in the Rhode Island Friends' records. On April 15, 1680, described in the Oysterbay town records as "John prat lately and Inhabitant within ye Coloney of Road Island" (Long Island town records A:100), he was appointed the first keeper of Hog (now Centre) Island in the harbor of Oyster Bay and was granted 30 acres of land near the beach. On December 15, 1684, the Indians deeded to him a certain lot of land in the township of Oyster bay, "being informed & made sensable yt John Pratt having many children and being not of ability at prisent to make payment for a Settlement of Lands as other men Doe, and wee having a sartain parcell of Land undisposed . . ." On December 26 of the same year he assigned his interest in this land to Josias Latting in exchange for land on Hog Island. On January 9, 1685, his name appears on a list of the inhabitants and freemen of Oyster Bay. On April 27, 1695, he divided certain interests between his sons John, Ebenezer and Jeremiah, and on March 14, 1697/8, he made an additional grant to his son Ebenezer.
