BEING THANKFUL
My husband's 4th great grandmother was someone to be thankful for: her name was "Thankful."
THANKFUL PRATT
Thankfull Pratt was born on 6 Oct 1761 in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts.
Her father was Elnathan Pratt and was close to 40 when she was born. Her mother Abigail Mixer was 31. Her parents were lifelong Shrewsbury, Massachusetts residents. She appears in her father's will as Thankful Parker.
MARRIAGE
Thankful married Caleb Parker on May 29, 1781 at 20. Caleb Parker was the son of Stephen Parker (originally of Newton, MA) and Abigail Wright (of Woburn, MA), who, at some point ended moving to Brattleboro, Vermont, probably before 1760.
Caleb Parker was born 14 Jul 1760 in Brattleboro, VT and died on 4 Mar 1826 in Stukely-Sud, Memphrémagog, Quebec, Canada.
FAMILY
Thankful (Pratt) and Caleb Parker had three children who survived to adulthood (as far as I could tell).
She gave her daughter Dorothy "Thankful" as a middle name.
Thankful and Caleb and their family moved to the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada some time after 1800.
Thankful (Pratt) Parker died on November 3, 1849, at 88 in Shefford, Quebec, Canada, and was buried there.
