The land for Pratt's Chapel & Cemetery was donated by Civil War Veteran Matthias Wilt Pratt who is buried there. Matthias had at least 7 and maybe as many as 13 children. Most people buried there are descended or related to the Pratts although there are some that are of no relation. There are at least 20 field stones with no inscriptions as well. According to Rev. Jack Oglesby (of Bethel Baptist), Pratts Chapel was est. in 1890 and chartered for 130 plots. By my count, there are at least 178 identified plots at Pratt's. I recorded all these inscriptions into a tape recorder in April 1998 and I transcribed them into electronic form. I am in the process of documenting the ties of these families along with other researchers I am in contact with. See also Union Cemetery, which is nearby.
