    1. [S990] Patton, Sharon, E-mail correspondence with Russell G. Strong. Privately held by Strong, [(E-ADDRESS) & MAILING ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] Sharon Patton, Lansing, MI [(E-ADDRESS) FOR PRIVATE USE,] to Russell G. Strong, e-mail<; privately held by Strong, [(E-ADDRESS) & MAILING ADDRESS FOR PRIVATE USE,] Peoria, AZ., 9 Feb 2014, 3/24/2005 5:21 PM>, "Exciting news," (Reliability: 3).

      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!!!

      Sharon (Pratt) Patton - for any who might not remember prior correspondence.
