== Biography ==
Pierre "Pieter" Prat was a Huguenot. In 1645 with his first wife, Marie Phillippe, he joined the Walloon Church at Leyden, Holland, with letters from Vlissingen
Pieter Prat, his wife and one or two of their children emigrated from Holland toNew Amsterdam in the ship "''Moesman''" in April 1659. The passenger list of theship is preserved and includes "''Pieter Pieterson, alias Pia from Picardy, his wife and daughter.''"
On April 10, 1661 "''Pieter Praa from Dieppe, and Catharine Lethie, with letters from Middlewout''" (Holland) were admitted as members of the Brooklyn Dutch Church. This record indicates they had resided at Middlewout shortly before the emigration and, since they are recorded as being in Leyden on May 17,1658, tends to confirm Dieppe as having been Pieter's place of birth. <ref>DRC records with this entry (image att.) </ref>
A record exists to show that on August 26, 1659, very soon after Pieter's arrival at New Amsterdam, he entered into an agreement to purchase from Derick Jans, for 300 guilders, a bouwery with house and barn at Cowanus [South Brooklyn] between the lands of Teunis Nyssen and Jan Pietersen Staats. It appears probable that the agreement was not consumated. It is of some interest, however to note that Pieter Praa's daughter Annetje, as a widow married June 11, 1682 a son of Jan Pietersen Staats.

===Marriage ===
Pieter Praa married:
1) Marie Phillipe (born Abt. 1624 in Dieppe, Picardy, France and died Bef. March 17, 1657/58 in Lieden, South Holland) on June 28, 1642 in Walloon Church, Leiden, South Holland, The Netherlands. She died at Lieden, Zuid-Holland
Possible children of Marie and Pieter are<ref>[http://shelleysscrapbooklayouts.com/Genealogy/getperson.php?personID=I38684&tree=Heritage MARIE PHILIPPE, Female 1622 - 1658]</ref>:
* 1. Pierre PRAT, b. Abt May 1643, at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.
* 2. Pierre PRAT, b. Abt May 1646, at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands. d. ca. 17 Mar 1658.
* 3. Samuel PRAT, b. Abt Jun 1647 at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.
* 4. Marie PRAT, b. Abt May 1648 at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.
* 5. Catharine PRAT, b. Abt Jun 1650 at Leiden, South Holland, Netherlands.
* 6. Annetje Pieterse Praa, bp. February 04, 1651/52, Walloon Church, Leiden, South Holland, The Netherlands, d. Aft. 1698, Brooklyn, Kings, New York.<ref>U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900, Yates Publishing. U.S. and International Marriage Records, </ref>, d. Brooklyn, Kings, New York. She immigrated on the ship "De Moseman'' with her father and step mother..
It would appear that these children, if they all actually existed, with the exception of son Pieter and daughter Annetje, died young, as they did not accompany their father on the ship ''de Moesman'' to the new world on April 25, 1659.
2) Catharina Lethie aka Lothier", "Lothie", "Lethie", "Loiittie" (born ca. 1630 at Dieppe, Picardy, Seine Inferieure, France, died March 6, 1663 in Cripplebush, Kings County, New York,) ca. 1658 at Leiden, Zuid Holland, Netherlands
