According to the Olga’s Gallery website (which has nearly ninety of his works), from top to bottom of your unidenfied sitters:

1) the Italian dancer Giovanna Baccelli.
2) Mary, Lady Bate-Dudley.
3) Sophia Charlotte, Lady Sheffield.
4) the Mall.
5) the Three Elder Princesses (Augusta on the left, Charlotte in the centre and Elizabeth seated on the right: daughters of George III).
6) Miss Catherine Tatton.
7) “Portrait of Henry, Duke of Cumberland, with the Duchess of Cumberland and Lady Elizabeth Luttrell.”
9) the Duchess of Beaufort.

Fantastic blog, btw :) I’ve been trawling through all day-great quality pictures
and some wonderful links, although there’s a bit of a language barrier with some of them!

I’ve never heard of Matthew Pratt before actually so I’m afraid I don’t know anything more than you. It’s always interesting to discover a new artist.
