Joshua Pratt¹

• Joshua Pratt was born before 1605 (based on date of marriage).¹
• He married Bathsheba before 1630 (assuming she was the mother of all of his children).
• Joshua Pratt died at Plymouth Colony; after 29 June 1652 (when he served on a coroner's jury [ PCR 3:15]) and before 5 October 1656 (date of administration).¹

• Joshua Pratt came to Plymouth in 1623 aboard the Anne. He is in the "1633" Plymouth list of freemen prior to those admitted 1 January 1632/3 [ PCR 1:3]. In the 7 March 1636/7 list of freemen (immediately preceding Phineas Pratt) [ PCR 1:52]. In Plymouth section of 1639 Plymouth Colony list of freemen [ PCR 8:174]. At Plymouth he served as Messenger and Constable; repeatedly on Committees to view various ground; as sealer of wieghts and measures and measurer of land. He also served on the Grand Jury, Petit Jury, and Coroner's Jury. He was in the In Plymouth portion of 1643 Plymouth Colony list of men able to bear arms. On 7 March 1652[/3?] Joshua Pratt was listed as holding "one whole share" in the Purchasers' Land at Acushena and Coaksett (Dartmouth).¹
• On 5 October 1656 administration on the estate of Joshua Pratt, deceased, was granted to Bathsheba Pratt [ PCR 3:108]. The inventory of the estate of Joshua Pratt was presented at court on 6 October 1656 and totalled £18 11s. 3d., with no real estate included [ PCR 3:108; PCPR 2:1:41; MD 14:113].¹
• Joshua Pratt and Phineas Pratt have many times been called brothers. Though there is no direct evidence of this relationship, much circumstantial evidence points in that direction. They received joint grants in the 1623 Plymouth division of land, and they were listed consecutively in the 1639 Plymouth list of freemen. Bathsheba, the daughter of Joshua, married in Charlestown, where her uncle Phineas Pratt was living at the time; she may have been placed in his household after her father's death.
  Since we know that Phineas Pratt came in 1622 as one of Thomas Weston's men, and not in 1623 on the Anne as indicated in the 1623 land division, we might wonder whether Joshua also came in 1622 in the same manner. Although this is possible, it seems unlikely, for otherwise we would expect that Phineas, in his narrative of his trials and tribulations that first winter in New England, would have made mention of his brother.¹
