John M "Knock" Pratt was the subject of an article in the Middlesboro Daily News Misc Tuesday, June 10, 1924 Note: A transcription of the article is as follows (courtesy of Laura Brenner , by e-mail of 24 Apr 2006):

Newspaper: Middlesboro Daily News, Middlesboro, Bell, Ky
Edition: Tuesday, June 10, 1924. Headline: Letcher County Man has 345 Descendants, Many in Ky

Hazard, Ky, June 10 1924 - Five Generations of mountaineers are descended fro m John M. Pratt; 345 person, 281 living and most of them residing in Ea stern Kentucky. Blood is a great deal thicker than water in Eastern Kentucky. Almost every native has an army of relatives and ties of kinship are strong ones (last word of this sentence is illegible due to graininess of the copy). They are felt a great deal in business and social life, but especially in politics.

(Illegible) to the family are bankers, (illegible) business leaders in all walks of life. John M. Pratt was born in Floyd County, Ky, November 29, 1829 and died on March 10, 1924. He came to Letcher County with his father when a small boy and settled on Rockhouse Creek. At the age of 19 he married Miss Elizabeth Campbell, who died about 30 years ago. From this union was born 14 children, 9 yet living.

There are seventy-nine grandchildren, sixty-eight of whom are living; 219 great-grandchildren, 178 of whom are living; thirty-three great-great-grandchildren. The grand total of descendants is 345, with 281 yet living, and sixty-four dead.
Among them are John M. Pratt, 95; Mrs. Judith Brashears, the fourth from the oldest in her generation, age 70 years and 7 months; Mrs. Elizabeth Brashear, oldest of the family, 49; Tug McDaniel, merchant of Viper, 26; Buford C. McDaniel, oldest son of the McDaniels, age 4.

Mr. Pratt served three years in the (illegible) Kentucky Riflemen of the Confederate Army. About the year 1875, he removed from Letcher County to Perry County, settling on the right-hand fork of Mason's Creek. Here he resided with his family until his death. His early days were spent in farming, fishing and hunting, using no other gun than a flintlock and later a hog rifle. Mr. Pratt was a good sport and a crack shot.
Mrs. Elizabeth Brashear is the wife Gay Brashear of Viper, Ky., he being the former member of the Kentucky legislature, having represented Perry and Letcher counties.
