Who is Who:

Elizabeth Freak (Nee Walters) was Mary Cutler Paulin’s grandmother

Rose Pratt (nee Freak) was Elizabeth’s daughter, 1811-1871

James Pratt was Rose Freak’s husband, and was a lawyer, 1798-1874. The Pratts lived in Wootton Bassett – so it appears Elizabeth moved in after the death of her husband in 1837

At the time of her death, Elizabeth had six surviving children. She left everything to just one child.
