    Notes:

    History:

    The United States Gov. was trying to get hold of Indian lands, and in 1809,
    William H. Harison, Governor of Indiana territory, secured from the Indians
    of southern and southwestern Indiana the title to a large area of land in the
    valleys of the Wabash and the White Rivers. The area ceeded included over 3
    million acres of the best land in the whole region. Two Indian leaders,
    Tecumseh and "The Prophet" (brothers) called upon Gen. Harrison and told him
    the Indian people should not ceed their land to get out of debt to the
    government, but should let the Warriors decide and make treaties. They had no
    desire for battle, but would defend with their lives any attemp at occupation
    of the valley of the Wabash. The year 1810 passed without any outbreak, but
    the Government and Harrison made preparations for the inevitable battle.
    When Tecumseh went south the next year to organize the Indians in the extreme
    southern part of Indiana and Illinois, Harrison occupied the Wabash Valley and
    paid a visit to Tippecanoe. While he encamped near the village, the Indians
    attacked on the night on 7 Nov., 1811, and killed and wounded many of his
    troops, nearly causing a great crisis. Eventually Harrison returned with
    his wounded to the settled part of the Territory, and no Indian war resulted.
    There was brewing a buildup, however of hostility between the British who were
    allies of the Indians, against the American settlers. This, coupled with other
    conditions, resulted finally in the war of 1812.
    Lloyd Benton Prather, and his brother-in-law Reason Redman took part in this
    action, and Lloyd was seriously wounded in the battle. The roll of the Army
    commanded by William H. Harrison, from 6 Sept. to 24 Nov., 1811 inculdes the
    following:
    John Morris' Company of Infantry (Clark Co. Area)
    Sergts: Bazil Prather (brother of Lloyd Prather).
    Privates (wounded in action) Lloyd Prather
    Listed in Capt. Morris Co. of Infantary of Indiana Militia 11 Sept., 1811 to
    24 Nov., 1811.

    Charles Beggs. Co. of Light Dragoons (Clark Co. Area)
    Corpl. Sihon Prather (this is another brother of Lloyd Benton Prather)

    In the 1860 census in Jefferson Co., Ia. Loyde Prater (Prather) was living in
    Liberty Twp.
    He later moved with others in his family to Douglas Co., Kan. where he died.

    In a letter dated 20 Jan., 1865:

    TO: Dr. C.W.Prather of Covington, IN.
    From: Hiram Prather

    "My father with three of his brothers was in the war of 1812. Uncle Loyd
    Prather was wounded at Tippecanoe (With General Harrison in victory over the
    Indians, Nov. 7, 1811). He is still living in his 83rd. year, at or near La
    Grange, Iowa."
    "You may think I am a little credulous when I say that there is something in
    the blood which makes men patriotic, yet I am satisfied it is so."
    "I met with the name Prather in the army from nearly all the western and
    southwestern states, all testifing to the truth of the loyalty of the family."
    "It is true that some of them are affected to some extent with Southern
    feeling, (but very fine) Thank God."
    And in tracing up their blood I find there has by some un-fortunate
    circumstances in their marriage, go some of the Tory blood of the Revolution
    mixed in a little."
