I would put Richord Pratt and Richard Pratt in as aAKAs. In her main name field I would put Mrs. Pratt [Pratt surname, Mrs. in the prefix field]. This would be one of the rare time that I would put Mrs. Last Name in as a main name but you have no other way. I am sure you have it all explained in the notes. I think this is the best you can do for now.

Her PCC Will gives the true tale. She describes herself as "Richard Pratt, widow", and her daughters by surname, e.g. "my daughter Osmond". A collateral Pratt line was then nationally famous, Lords Chief Justice and becoming the Earls and Marquesses of Camden, so she most probably had pretensions to rural grandeur, styling herself and daughters by spouses surnames. When faced with this about 8 years back, I punted, leaving "Richord" (as placeholder) and the IGI source in Legacy, ignoring the daughters but putting a reference to an external folder with the will copy and discussion. I'm now having to revisit this having recently connected to a cousin needing the whole line, and it's not obvious how to proceed. "Richord" is obviously mistranscribed from Richard, so that needs correction. I have neither given or surname for her. For her daughters, I have no given names, but reasonably reliably their spouse's surnames. For their spouses, I have only their presumed surnames. Any guesses as to the best way of entering this into Legacy, given that my new cousin will probably propagate it into LDS and/or Ancestry?
