I am looking for the death date of Oscar pratt. In the 1860's he is listed in Randolph Twp., Crawford Co., PA
DAVIDSON ,Nathaniel, 67, MA
Anne, 63, MA
PRATT, Malinda, 43, b MA
PRatt, Oscar 16, b. PA.

In the 1870 Censu listed in Lincolnville, Bloomfield Township, Crawford County
PRATT, Oscar, age 26, Born PA
MALONA, age 19, born PA
MARY, age 2, born PA
Freddie, age 1, born PA

In the 1880 census under Randolph Twp., Crawford Co., PA
KEEP, Archibald, age 79, born MA
Balinda, wife age 63, born MA
PRATT, MARY B.,grand daughter, age 12, born PA
PRATT, FREIE M. grandson, age 11, born PA

Then in 1880 Malona PRATT again shows up but as Malona PATTERSON, My great grandmother.
PATTERSON, SIDNEY, Age 26, born PA; Parents born PA, which is a mistake, should be NY
MALONA, wife , age 28, born PA; parents born PA
JULIA, daughter, age 9, born PA
MYRON, son age 7, born PA

These children were also from PRATTS, my grandfather was born later in 1890
So I think he had to have died between 1870 and 1880 or they just divorced, but I don't think so.
I think Balinda and Malinda are the same wifes of Archibald Keep
I GOT A EMAIL FROM A JENNIFER AND SHE IS OR HAS A KEEP IN HER FAMILY THIS IS WHAT SHE HAS TO SAY.
"Archibald Wislon Keep Moved from Mass. to Crawford County PA., settling on a farmnear Guys Mills, where he died February 12, 1881. He married (1st) February 1, 1823, Mary GILES, of Blandford, Mass. She was born July 10, 1805 and died July 24, 1862. He married (2nd) Decemer 20, 1862, Mrs. Belinda Davison PRATT. She died December 25, 1896.
There is a connection with Davidson in the 1860 census but it is Malinda and I think she is Belinda
Any help, what so ever would be greatly appreciated.
