He married Emily B Dillon May 6, 1852.
Note: This is the only "Bratt" cemetery in Illinois. They are actually buried in the Pleasant Valley Cemetery, aka Bratt Cemetery, aka Old Sand Hill. To get to this cemetery, start in San Jose, Mason County, Illinois and go north to Coyote Road. Turn left on Coyote Road and go 1 mile. The cemetery is on the right, North side of Coyote Road. Coyote Road is the County Line with Tazewell County to the North and Mason County to the South. The physical location is in Malone Township, Tazewell County, Illinois. It took me a very long time to find it. There are several pictures taken by Al and Carol Martin that are posted on a genweb site for Tazewell County.
