Between 1600 and 1630 only one family of Pratt appear in the Bridport register, that of Bennett Pratt who married Ann Primrose May 12, 1601. The first child of Bennett Pratt whose baptism is recorded was John, baptized January 15, 1609, and it is quite probable that Grace was an older child. Ann Pratt was succeeded by a wife Margaret, who died of plague and was buried August 30, 1626. Two sons of Bennett Pratt, baptized in 1628 and 1630 were either children of a third wife or grandchildren through an unrecorded son Bennett born before 1609.
