The Frederick Praught & Susannah Wagner Family Home Page

Frederick PRAUGHT and Susannah WAGNER are my maternal ggg grandparents and lived on Lots 49/50, Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada after the close of the American Revolution. It is believed that Frederick joined Hayden's Company of the King's Rangers (a loyalist unit) which was formed in Old Monmouth County, New Jersey during the war. They are believed to be of German descent.
They had eight children named Catherine, John, Mary, William F., David, Ann Nancy, Peter and Frederick. All were born on PEI except for Catherine and John who, it is believed, were born somewhere in the USA. My grandfather, Edward, who is descended from William F., changed his name to PRATT when he settled in Waltham, Massachusetts in the late 1800s.

I am currently researching Frederick & Susannah's roots and would appreciate hearing from anyone with information on their birthplaces and date and place of marriage.

I suspect they may have come from Waldoboro, Maine and that he was recruited in the Fort George, Castine, ME area.
