"Published September 18, 2003, in issue #0237 of The Hook

The 1940 Spanish Colonial Revival house on Rothery Road isn't a typical Virginia manse. And that's why it was just listed on the Virginia Landmarks Register. Now owned by Virginia Stokes, the house was built by UVA music professor Henry Rogers Pratt and his wife, writer Agnes Edwards Rothery Pratt. Named "Recoleta," the house joins more than 130 Charlottesville and Albemarle properties already listed on the register."

Notes
General:
Joshua is believed to have been a brother of Phineas Pratt.

From: Phineas Pratt and Some of His Descendants

The Ann and the Little Jane arrived at Plymouth in July or August, 1623, with a number of passengers; Joshua assisted in surveying the land in Plymouth. The Little Jane was intended to remain with the Colony for trading purposes, along the coast.

Joshua Pratt died at Plymouth about 1656. The inventory of his estate is dated Oct. 6, of that year. His widow was Bathsheba (???) She married as her second husband, August 29, 1669, John Dogget, of Martha's Vineyard.
(skives)
JOSHUA PRATT came in the ship "Ann," 1623, and was allotted land amoung "the old comers". His widow, Bathsheba, administered upon his estate October 6, 1656. He was one of the original thirty-six purchases of Dartmouth, who met at Plymouth, March 7, 1652.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joshua Pratt arrived at Plymouth on the Anne in 1623, and was in the 1623 land division and the 1627 cattle division. He was a Purchaser and was on the 1633 list of freemen. He was on the committee of 3 January 1627/28 to lay out the twenty-acre allotments (PCR 12:14). He was chosen as messenger of the court and constable for Plymouth on 1 January 1633/34, and he continued as constable after the messenger position was given to Mr. John Holmes on 4 December 1638 (PCR 1:21, 105). He obtained a good number of land grants and engaged in frequent land transactions (PCR, passim). On 7 March 1652/53 he was one of the purchasers of land in Dartmouth (MD 4:186-87). Administration of his estate was granted to his wife Bathsheba on 5 October 1656 (PCR 3:108)-her surname is unknown, and she may have been a second wife. He has been called a brother of Phineas Pratt, q.v., and in the 1623 land division he was paired with Phineas, but proof of a relationship is lacking. His widow married (2) John Doggged 29 August 1667 (PCR 8:31). His children are thought
to be Benajah, who married Persis Dunham; Hannah, who married William Spooner; Jonathan, who married Abigail Wood; and Bathsheba, who married Joshua Rice.
