I have a Whipple who married a Pratt. Julia Whipple married Percival Pratt. I know relatively little about them. Percival W. Pratt was born in Erie County, New York April 22 1828. He died March 1898 in Barron County, WI. He is the son of Stephen Pratt, Jr. and Anna Jones. Percival is the brother of my ggg-grandfather, George WIlliam Pratt. I know nothing of Julia. I have the following notations regarding Percival: *Percival was called "Wiley" and operated a boarding house at Millston, WI before moving north to Barron Co probably following the loggers during the great harvest of the virgin pine forests. *From BSB, Shamrock News, May 15, 1885: "Barney Crossen will move his family into P.W. Pratt's house here today." *From BSB, Millston News, November 27, 1885: "P.W. Pratt and family moved their goods from the hotel Monday. Mr. Pratt will go back to his farm in Shamrock. The new landlord, J.A. Mills, took possession on Monday." *From BSB, Shamrock News, December 11, 1885: "P.W. Pratt and wife visited their daughter, Mrs. R. Clark, of Millston, the fore part of this week." Danielle Nauman daniellenauman@hotmail.com
