Biography
Thomas married as her second husband, Mary (Davis) Lewis, daughter of Samuel & Mary (Waters) Davis, in 1691 - parents of Elizabeth, Ann, Sarah, Thomas & Samuel
In 1675 he was a soldier of King Philip's War. He served under Capt. William Turner and took part in the falls fight at Hadley.
Thomas could not have been a soldier during King Phillip's War as he would have only been 6 years old. There was a John Pratt (believed to be Thomas' father) that was part of Capt. William Turner's company during King Phillips War, and fought at the Battle of Turner Falls in May 1676. [[1]]
Thomas wrote his will on 9 June 1732. His estate passed probate on 10 July 1732.[1]

I don't have enough proof to make the change, but I do not believe that Thomas is connected to the right parents. I see in the sources noted that John and Mary had a son Thomas, but he had to have been born a lot later than 1669. John's headstone clearly indicates he was born in 1655.
