From DORSET: In the Shadow of Marble Mountain, pg 130. "Another alleged pre-1785 use of Dorset marble was a slab set in a Bennington cemetary in 1768, the very year of Dorset's settlement, to mark the grave of one John Pratt." John Pratt is the older brother of Susanah Pratt who was the first wife of Obediah Allen. Obediah's son Daniel and his wife died in 1760 leaving several young children behind. This fact was found in the search for how Henry, Daniel's oldest son, got to Vermont. Henry was 13 years old when Daniel died and has been traced to East Dorset, Vermont.
