Mary Gale

Same as Mary Pratt?

“Mary Gale Pratt, sister of Ebenezer Gale, married Michael Pratt of Oxford at Watertown in 1731.” The Oxford location is in line with this Mary Gale. But if Michael Pratt = Micha Pratt b 1702 and he married this Mary Gale, daughter of Abraham Gael, Sr., baptized 1689, then the younger children of Micah Pratt were product of a 2nd wife, as this Mary would have been too old.

Perhaps Micah Pratt’s wife was the daughter of Richard Gale. He had a Mercy / Mary born at Watertown on December 4, 1710. However, that woman is usually seen as Mercy Wheat, and the Connecticut location for Mercy is more in line with Richard’s family.
