LINE OF DEACON JOHN DUNHAM OF PLYMOUTH

THIRD GENERATION IN AMERICA

31. DANIEL 3 PRATT (Persis 2 (Dunham) Pratt, John 1 Dunham) born in Plymouth say 1680/1; [1] died in Plympton 7 May 1739. [2]

He married first in Plympton 23 January 1700/1 ESTHER WRIGHT,[3] daughter of Adam 3 and Sarah (Soule) Wright.

He married second in Plympton 1 October 1706 MARY WASHBURN, [4]

Daniel Pratt married a third wife whose name was Annis (unknown), possibly Annis (Parker) Fuller, widow of Abiel Fuller. She was the wife named in his will, dated 30 March 1739 and proved 18 May 1739.

Administration on the estate of Annis Pratt of Plympton, widow, was assigned to Abiel Fuller (Junior) of Plympton on 10 Feb. 1760. The final account, dated 7 Dec. 1761 and presented by Abiel Fuller, includes an item for “...keeping said widdow 58 weeks...” Plymouth VR p. 88; gives the marriage record of Abiel Fuller to Annis Parker 19 Feb. 1702/3. Abiel and Annis (Parker) Fuller had children in Plympton, including a son Abiel, Jr. Abiel Sr. (husband of Annis) died 20 April 1720 in his 44th year. His widow, Annis was probably several years younger than he was, so was perhaps born about 1680-84. If she was the Annis (--) who married as his third wife Daniel Pratt, she could still have had several children.

In his will Daniel-3 Pratt also names sons: Benjamin, Nathaniel, Jabez, James and Joshua (under age), daughter Easter the wife of John Howard and Sarah wife of Joshua Donham. [5]
