About Joseph Pratt


PRATT, 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]
