After Susanna Goodwin Pratt died in about 1712 (also seen 1718 as a death date), John Pratt Sr., could have married Hannah Sanford daughter of Robert Sandford Sr. (Mary his wife in her will named a daughter Hannah unmarried in 1682) or maybe Hannah Sanford Jr (b. 1690ish), but John Pratt Sr. had no other kids (per the will), so the older Hannah sounds more likely. John Pratt Sr. does not name a wife in his 1744 will. Nathaniel Goodwin (Susanna's brother) was the administrator on the estate of John Pratt Sr.
John Pratt Sr., in his 1744 will, gave his granddaughter Susannah Talcott a chest with the engraving W G S which could stand for William & Susanna Goodwin, parents of Susannah Goodwin Pratt, his first wife and mother of his children.
Susanna's mother, in her 1689 will, calls her daughter Susanna Pratt and also names John Pratt Jr. (b. 1687).
The First Church of Hartford records do show a John Pratt being born/baptized in 1683, so this could be the son of a possible first wife Hannah Sanford or? (and then both mother and son they were deceased in 1683-1686) and he remarried Susanna Goodwin.
