Abstract of Graves for Revolutionary Patriots states he is buried at Waites Corners, Washington County, NY. However this may be a different Daniel Pratt. The book; "A Pratt Book: The American ancestors and descendants of Simon Newcomb Pratt", 1939, states Daniel and his second wife, "Mrs. Bass" are "buried in a private burial ground on the hillside opposite the home of Newcomb Pratt, near Cossayuna. It further states, the gravestones were buried below the plowing depth and the graves were plowed over and a skull that had a double row of teeth was found on the hillside, was placed under the stones. It was supposed to be that of Daniel Pratt, as he had a double row of teeth on both jaws." (!)
