About Thomas Pratt
Biography
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pratt-3745
Thomas Pratt married as her second husband, Mary (Davis) Lewis, daughter of Samuel & Mary (Waters) Davis, in 1691 - parents of Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Thomas & Samuel
In 1675 he was a soldier of King Philip's War. He served under Capt. William Turner and took part in the falls fight at Hadley.
Thomas could not have been a soldier during King Phillip's War as he would have only been 6 years old. There was a John Pratt (believed to be Thomas' father) that was part of Capt. William Turner's company during King Phillips War, and fought at the Battle of Turner Falls in May 1676. Amos Eagle Elliston
Thomas wrote his will on 9 June 1732. His estate passed probate on 10 July 1732.[1]

Disputed origins
John Pratt was the son of Richard & Mary (Unknown) Pratt, born about 1655 at Malden, Middlesex, MA He married Mary Unknown, at Malden, Middlesex, MA - parents of John, Thomas, Ebenezer, Joseph, William, Caleb, Joshua, Mary, Hannah & Abigail.
I don't have enough proof to make the change, but I do not believe that Thomas is connected to the right parents. I see in the sources noted that John and Mary had a son Thomas, but he had to have been born a lot later than 1669. John's headstone clearly indicates he was born in 1655.
