Mary Barker, dau. of John Barker. On 2nd 9th mo. (Nov.) 1668 Samuel Pratt gave a receipt to his father-in-law Abraham Blush for his wife's portion of John Barker's estate. Rev Noah Newman's letter written the day after the 'Pawtucket Fight' lists Samuel Pratt from Scituate as one of the 52 'English' who died in the fight. In an undated letter Mary (Barker) (Pratt) (Coombs) Wood wrote the following petition (probably 1690): 'These lines may give information that Samuel Pratt's Father, my first husband, was slain by the heathen in Captain Pierce's fight. He was pressed a souldier when I sojourned at Scituate, having then noe place of my own, and have brought him up with other small children, and I shall take it very unkindly, iff he that is the only one son of this father that was slain in the former war should be compelled to go out againe, itt being contrary as I am informed to the law of England and this country, therefore I desire it may not be. So petitions Mary Woods from Middlebury.' (Phineas Pratt and his descendants p. 59) The fact that Samuel Pratt of Middlebury, wheelwright, and William Thomas of Middlebourough Gentleman shared in the same distribution of the estate of Phineas Pratt 31 July 1738 proves that Samuel and Sarah (who had m. Wm. Thomas) were children of Samuel. The 15 May 1711 div. of estate of Francis Coombs mentions Mary Wood, widow. No Plymouth Colony PR or LR for Samuel Pratt. He does not appear in the published 12 vols. of Plymouth Colony Records. Mayflower Families in Progress - Degory Priest Houston Clayton Library
