She had at least two children, probably three, with Hazen.

In the 1920 census, she was a college student. From an article in the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, February 20, 1948, edition, we can infer that that college was Vassar. “Mrs. Jean McLean Pratt” is pictured with the president of Vassar College and Mrs. Pratt is noted as the president of the local Vassar club. The following link includes the article and picture:
