Phinehas Pratt's Descendants with Narratives and Biograph i e s (1622-1980) by Priscilla Lorena Pratt Briggs, Rutland, MA, printed b y T h e Heffernan Press, Inc., Worcester, MA 1980, page 1 and 2:
Henry Pratt, the father of Phinehas, was a nonconformis t m i nister who preached the gospel contrary to the rules of the Established Chu r c h of England, and was imprisoned along with over 400 other religious teache r s i n gloomy, damp jails in England. While there, Henry managed to communicate w i t h his grief-stricken family by writing to them with the blood which he drew f r o m his arm. Abigail Pratt, granddaughter of Phinehas, used to relate this st o r y to her grandchildren. She was very intelligent and had a corr e c t and retentive memory. It is not known whether or not Henry died in pri s o n or was released as an incurable invalid due to the cruel treatment he recei v e d in prison.

ASSOCIATIONS: See JOSHUA PRATT for a discussion of the li k e lihood that he and Phineas Pratt were brothers. COMMENTS: According to his Declaration, Phinehas Prat t w a s one of ten men who came to the new world on behal f of T HO MAS WESTON, in the ship Sparrow in 1622. They arr ived fa r u p the coast at "Damorali's Cove" where they att empted t o ac quire a pilot, but none among the fishing shi ps ther e nor t he Indians would assist them. Sailing dow n the coas t, the y recognized Plymouth when a round of cel ebratory or dnanc e greeted them. Two further ships with We ston's men f ollowe d and by August 1622 the settlement o f Wessagusset [ Weymout h] was commenced. Unfortunately, th ey spent their t ime buil ding fortifications and were soo n starving.
On learning of the intent of some Indians to wipe ou t t h e English at both Wessagussett and Plymouth, Pratt de term in ed to travel on foot to Plymouth to warn the settle men t an d look for help. Pursued through the snow, he los t hi s way , and consequently lost his pursuers who bette r kne w the pa th. Arriving nearly exhausted "running dow n a hil l I [saw ] an English man coming in the path befor e me. The n I sat d own on a tree & rising up to salute hi m said, 'Mr . Hamdin , I am glad to see you alive.' He sai d, 'I am gla d & ful l of wonder to see you alive: let us s it down, I se e you ar e weary' [MD 4:91-92]. Miles Standis h and his comp any, no w amply warned, set out on a preempt ive attack, whi ch warde d off the anticipated danger. Phin eas made his hom e at Plym outh for a quarter of a centur y thereafter.
On 5 November 1644 "Thomas Bunting, dwelling with Phin e a s Pratt, hath, with and by the consent of the said Phin ea s , put himself as a servant to dwell with John Cooke, J uni o r ... during the term of eight years ... the said Jo hn C oo ke having paid the said Phineas for him one milc h co w .. . and 40s. in money and is to lead the said Phine as tw o loa ds of hay yearly during the term of seven years " [PC R 2:78].
