Mr. Pratt ran a general merchandise/hardware store in Madison, and also sold insurance. ---------- From: "Following the Trails of the Southern Pratts", by F. P. Pratt, 2017 Thomas Ruffin Pratt (Phillip Isaac7, Thomas Henry6, William5, William4, John3, William2, Griffin1), fifth child of Phillip Isaac Pratt and Nancy Webb Harris, was born May 29, 1856, in Rockingham County, North Carolina. He married Maybud Julia Hampton, daughter of Madison Jenkins Hampton and Theresa Jones, April 2, 1882, in Leaksville, Rockingham County, North Carolina. She was born May 13, 1862, in Leaksville, Rockingham County, North Carolina. Thomas and his brother, Charles Benton Pratt, operated a general merchandise store located in the south half of the Carter-Moir Hardware Store. The two-story building that housed their general merchandise store is located in the Leaksville Commercial Historic District and is included in the National Register of Historic Places. It is a two-story brick building built in the 1880's and noted for its decorative brickwork. The building may also have housed the Bank of Leaksville, chartered in 1889. In the 1890's Thomas built a two-story T-shaped house at 101 W. Academy Street noted for richly carved brackets and classical details. Thomas also sold insurance. His other business pursuits included a brick manufacturing plant and a mortuary. He served as a Rockingham County Commissioner and was involved in the infamous story of Rockingham County's "Bridge to Nowhere", a bridge built in 1929 across the Dan River with no approaches or connecting roads. Thomas was the chairman of the Rockingham County Commission when the contract was approved for building the bridge. That resulted in a lengthy and famous lawsuit between the county and the builders, Luten Bridge Company. Thomas died May 3, 1931, and Maybud died January 5, 1932, in Madison, Rockingham County, North Carolina. Both are buried in the Riverview Cemetery, Madison, Rockingham County, North Carolina.
