[ref 30:86] Children (10) Charlestown: Mary, Joseph, Bethiah, Rachel, Benjamin, Dorcas, Phineas, Joshua, Lydia, Sarah [ref 30] Will of Joseph Pratt of Charlestown MA ... dated 23 July 1712, mentions wf Dorcas and son Joshua Pratt (executor). Witnesses: James Lowden, Benjamin Phillips, James Austin. Pr. 26 Jan. 1712/1713. Inventory taken 17 Jan. 1712/3 by Joseph Phipps, William Kettell, Joseph Whittemore; dwelling house, �32; sworn to 26 Jan. 1712/3 by exr. [ref 30] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Joseph2 (Phinehas1), m. February 12, 1674-5, Dorcas, daughter of Peter and Mary (Morrill) Folger. He died at Charlestown, Mass., December 24, 1712. In the old records he is described as "waterman." He was appointed by the town as Measurer of coal and salt, and was also a "Tything Man" in 1680. Peter Folger, of Nantucket, his father-in-law, was somewhat conspicuous as a poet, as well as in other respects, and a prominent citizen among his contemporaries. "Some verses by him," says Savage, "occasioned by Philip's war, under the whimsical title of 'Looking-Glass for the Times,' printed after ninety years' circulating in MS., are sought for sometimes, less for poetical value than bibliographic curiosity." Dorcas was admitted to the church in 1688. As he names only Mary, Bethia, and Sarah, of his children, and makes provision for some of his grandchildren (the children of Joshua's brother Joseph,2) without giving their names, the others were probably deceased. Children: Mary, Joseph, Bethia, Benjamin, Dorcas, Benjamin, Phinehas, Joshua, Lydia, Sarah. [ref 40:60] In 1691, the Town of Charlestown let to Joseph2 the land called Ferryman's Island, for which he was to pay three shillings in money, or one and a half bushels of merchantable corn for the year. This was in consideration of the grass which he thus had the right to mow there. Ferryman's Island is at the end of Malden bridge, which connects Charlestown with Malden, on the Malden side. [ref 40:60] In 1711, Joseph2 Pratt bought of Benj. Lawrence, of Charlestown, for �40 current money, "Half of the dwelling house and half of the land lying behind, fronting Southerly on Wapping street, in said town." [ref 40:60] July 23, 1712, Joseph2 Pratt makes his will in which he refers to his wife Dorcas, and appoints his son Joshua3 executor. [ref 40:60] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 1691 land called Ferryman's Island [at the end of Malden bridge connecting Chalestown with Malden] let by Charlestown, cost three shillings in money, or one and a half bushels of merchantable corn for the year Savage says that "the living three sons and daughters were baptized Feb. 10, 1689 (NS) when, unluckily only Joseph is named in the record." The other two were probably Phinehas and Joshua. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - | ||||||||||
