Hi everybody. I have some exciting news. I spent 3 hrs at the LDS library
in East Lansing today and this is what I found.
Flora KNAPP married George W. Pratt 20 March 1893 He was 45 yrs. old and
his 2nd marriage (1st was Lucetta Codding) and Flora was 25 her first
marriage. NOW GET THIS: Geo's parents were Adison Pratt and Nancy
Wakely!!!!!!! FLora's parents: Newton Knapp and Lydia HALLADAY
WITNESSES : BILL PRATT and NELLIE PRATT !!!!!!!
Flora (Knapp) Pratt 39y married Albience B. Chase age 65y 14 May 1907
Flora Knapp Pratt Chase 44y married Delbert PRATT 43y 19-Sept. 1912 :
Delberts parents: Addison Pratt and Lucinda PALMER
*****************************************************************************
I rechecked George W. Pratt's death record and it is obvious to me now that
they had spelled it ADSINE PRATT and Nancy WAKLEY
******************************************************************************
ADelbert and Flora had a child that died 26 March 1912........ but they
didn't get married until September that year.
They also had an adopted child by name of Naoma that died in 1914 at 11 mos
old.
*****************************************************************************
Bessie Pratt married at age 16y. a fellow named D. Vail 21 Y. and it said
"consent was filed"
William Henry Pratt (father) (I forgot to note the date)
****************************************************************************
So, I'm satisfied that George W. Pratt who was in Roxand Twp with Wellington
Pratt is Addison and Nancy's son and that Nancy's last name is
Wakely/Wakley as it is on info given by him for marriage and also on his
death certificate.
But also that Lucinda's (Addison's 2nd wife) maiden name is Palmer as given
by Adelbert.
***********************************************************************
I traced over the name (Adam or Adsin) on George's death record so I could
send it to any who wanted to scrutinize it themself but when I found Geo and
Flora's marriage record it was no longer necessary as far as I was
concerned.
This has truly been a good day!!!
