      Hi Russell, I didn't know which email was correct so used them both...hope
      you still have one of them. My cousin Mackie or Maxine in Texas suggested
      that I email you to see if you might know anything about this riddle I have
      discovered. The emails below were initiated by me to Pam Pratt in CAnada.
      I think I can explain it a little better now ... I found a George Pratt in
      Roxand Twp., Eaton Co. married to Lucetta Codding. They had 2 sons Curtis
      and Theodore and a daughter Cora. Also living in Roxand Twp was a
      Wellington Pratt with wife Betsey (Elizabeth) and than in the next 10 year
      census Wellington has remarried a younger woman and has a dauhter with her.
      Lucetta dies and the sons stay in Eaton Co. but George goes back to Osceola
      Co and lives between Alonzo and Lucinda Pratt (this is just after Addison
      died). George remarries a woman named Flora. I found the newspaper
      articles when George died and it confirms is same George from Roxand because
      of the info. Pam Pratt sent a census from Canada that included Wellington
      Pratt and wife Elizabeth or Betsey and it is no coincidence that George and
      Wellington are in Roxand Twp together. I believe that George is the son of
      Addison and 1st wife Nancy and that he was 5 yrs old when Nancy died and was
      raised by Lucinda 2nd wife. I believe that is why he is back in Osceola Co.
      after Addison's death and living close to Lucinda. I have heard you are
      doubtful about the connection between the families but I'm not sure at what
      point you are skeptical. I'd really like to know what you think and at what
      point you think the lines split. I think you'll find the dates in the emails
      below but if you have any questions please contact me. I haven't took a
      hard look at this for a couple months so a little shakey on dates but I have
      it if I need to dig it out.

      Hope to hear from you,
      Sharon Pratt Patton

      >HI Pam. I don't have Addison's death certificate but I have his son's
      >Adelbert James Pratt b. Nov. 2, 1868 (wife Flora) and John A. Pratt d. May
      >6, 1904 and George Pratt d. Feb 25, 1906 (wife was also named Flora) and he
      >had 2 sons Charles and Theodore. I found a newspaper article in the
      >Osceola paper Feb 28, 1906 under EAST LINCOLN " George Pratt died Sunday at
      >his home, one mile east of Addison, after an illness of several weeks."
      >than on March 7, 1906 a follow up article "C. Pratt of Charlotte, who was
      >called here Monday by the death of his father, George Pratt, returned home
      >Thursday." So I looked in Eaton Co census and saw that Geo and family
      >lived in Roxand Twp., Eaton Co. but then he must have went to or back to
      >Oscepla Co. And on the death certificate for this Geoge it has father Adam
      >Pratt and mother Nancy Wakely which is why I wondered if Adam should have
      >been Addison. And on the familysearch websight it lists Agnes or Nancy
      >Smith as Addison's first wife and I know that either the Smith or Wakely
      >could be wrong. I looked in Leeds Canada and there were alot of Wakleys /
      >Wakelys. I thought it curious that in Osceola census after Addison had
      >died this George is living houses between Lucinda and Alonzo/Alex. I can't
      >remember which one for sure but it was one of them.
