A great mnemonic device for remembering Zadock Pratt's wives is BEAMS. B - Beda Dickerman E - Esther Dickerman, Beda's sister A - Abigail Watson M - Mary Watson, Abigail's sister S - Susie Grimm There's a genealogy on this branch of the family entitled, "Supplement to a History Entitled 'The Pratt Family or the Descendants of Lieut. William Pratt One of the First Settlers of Hartford and Say-Brook' Being a Continuation of the Record in the Line of Zadock and Hannah Pratt of Stephentown and Jewett, New York," by Frank E. Pratt, 1916. Also see "Bare Trees: Zadock Pratt, Master Tanner & the Story of What Happened to the Catskill Mountain Forests," by Patricia E. Millen, Black Dome Press, Hensonville, NY, 1995. At the time she wrote this book Pat Millen was the curator of the Zadock Pratt Museum in Prattsville. As I recall the original title was something like "Tan Their Hides" rather than "Bare Trees". When you Google Zadock spell his name correctly, with one D, and you'll get over 3,600 results.

Good grief- that is why I only picked up one.
