Question

Hello, my name is Allyn Pratt and I am searching for my ancestors. Currently, I am researching to document two of my direct ancestors; my 5th g.grandmother, Lydia Pratt and my 7th g.grandfather, Samuel?

My 5th g.grandmother's maiden name remains a mystery, I have not been able to trace her back to her family. I believe her name is Lydia and she married my 5th g.grandfather, Stephen Pratt in (upstate) New York around 1810?

Also, I am looking for references to perfect the link between my 6th g.grandfather, Stephen Pratt (b:1760) and his father who I believe is Samuel Pratt (b:1732?). I have interrogated, 'The Pratt Directory, 1995 edition, and 'The Pratt Family a Genealogical Record of Mathew Pratt' for the current information.

Any additional information is most appreciated.  Thank you.
