Name: Damon
Comments: My paternal great-grandparents lived on Antigua. My great grandmother's name was Justina Henry. My paternal great-grandfather was named Samuel Pratt. Their son Christopher Godfrey Pratt and their daughter, Bernice Pratt, emigrated to the United States, eventually settling in the Bronx where they both died in the late 80's and early 90's. Based on my age, I would estimate that Samuel Pratt and Justina Henry would be 115-125 years old if they were alive today as a frame of reference to the dates they resided in Antigua. They are black people.
