    • Clifton Pratt's given name is also seen as Clifford.

      Clifton Pratt is usually found as the son of George W. Pratt and Margaret J. Lamphere in online genealogies. However Clifton does not appear in the 1880 census with the family when he was only a year old. It seems unlikely that a 1 year old baby would not be found with his mother when the other siblings are found in the household.

      A search of eligible Pratt families reveals only one candidate likely to be Clifton Pratt. George and Margaret Pratt's nephew Herbert Pratt, son of Percival Pratt, is found in the 1880 census with his wife Clara Harmon and a one year old son who is listed simply as “baby.” Clara Harmon is the sister of Mellen Harmon, son-in-law of George and Margaret Pratt. I believe Clifton Pratt is the son of Herbert Pratt and Clara Harmon. Clara appears to have died while Clifton was young as Herbert Pratt remarried in 1892. It's possible that Clifton went to live with other family members causing confusion with his parentage.

      Further research is needed to positively identify Clifton's parents. Until then Clifton's parentage should be considered as probable and not proven.
