Notes:

According to the 1810 census, William Prater was born before 1765.
His name appeared on the 1779/80 tax lists of Henry Co., Va.
In 1785 he married Elizabeth Fugate in Washington Co., Va.

In 1785 William Prater, resident of Washington Co., Va., signed a petition
requesting that Russell Co. be formed. his name then appeared on Russell Co.
tax lists of 1787-1798.
On 23 Sept., 1797 William Prater and his wife gave depositions in the case of
Abram Musick vs Harris Wilburn, Jr. in Russell Co. court.

After Tazewell Co. was formed from part of Russell Co., William Prater's
residence was located in Tazewell Co., Va. His name was on the tax list of
1809/10.

Between the early spring of 1810, when the Tazewell tax list was compiled, and
the summer of the same year, when the U.S. census was taken, the William
Prater family moved to Montgomery Co., Ky.
Bath Co., Ky. was formed from Montgomery Co. in 1811, and William Prather's
name was on the tax list of Bath Co. that year. Apparently he died before
1813, when his land was listed in the name of William Prater, Jr. or in the
name of Elizabeth Prater. The name of archibald Prater was on the personal
property tax lists and Joseph Prater's name appeared in 1820 and 1830.

In a deed recorded in Bath Co. Deed Book J, pp 259-261, 8 May, 1833, the
"children and heirs of William Prater, deceased" sold land to William Prater
Jr. This deed and others, along with Bath Co. marriage and census records,
proovide the information about William & Elizabeths Prater children.

The above information was taken from the research done by the Magoffin Co.,
Ky. Historical Society of Salyersville, Ky. and was published by them in
a book :"Archibald Prater 1755 - 1831 A Priceless heritage and other Prater
Families of Eastern Ky."
