Tombstone Tuesday: Joshua Thompson Pratt

Jtpratt

Woodlawn Cemetery, Westbrook, Maine.  Joshua actually died in January 1913 and his wife, Elizabeth (Lizzie) Jane Marie Stack was born in 1857.  They are my great-great-grandparents.  Joshua came from Nova Scotia and a baptist family and Lizzie's parents were Irish Catholic potato-famine emigrants.  Buried with them is their son Ross, a veteran of WWI.

On 12 May 1853, Andrew married Mary Jane Bench at Laclede County, Mo. [Laclede County Marriages...

Nova Scotia Genealogy One of the things one reads when doing Nova Scotian Genealogy is that people who went there from the colonies did so exclusively as loyalists. If you do any amount of research or reading on the subject, you find out how quickly this is not true. In notes I just received on my Pratts in Nova Scotia it quotes from a 1930s letter from an Esther Pratt to a cousin Clara Pratt in Texas.
