Hi I have questions about your family member John W. Pratt I found him and his wife Sarah on the 1870 census alone with my paternal ggrandfather Joseph
Adkins and his 1st wife. by any chance do u know if your family was related to any Adkins-Atkins My ggrandmother was white but he married my ggrandmother whom was a mixture of Indian and black. so they called them Mulatto race. if u have any access to the census please take a look at those records and let me know if he was living on the plantation with your family or family memeber. some records says he was Mulatto race but My mom said my grandpa was mixed his father was white. I do have a few records that listed him as white but he married outside the race and lived with most Mulatto and colored people so thats tricky. anyway take a look at the 1870 census
Union Co. El dorado Twnshp,Ar. and you'll find John W. Pratt his wife Sarah C. Pratt my ggrandfather Joseph
