"To the Honorable Judge of the Bourbon Circuit Court in Chancery sitting,
sheweth unto your honor, your orator Joseph Prather. That sometime since, his
father, James Prather, departed this life intestate, leaving your orator,
Jeremiah Prather, Jonathan, John, Bazil, Henry, Isaac, James, Mary Ann,
Catharine and Nancy Prather, his children & heirs-at-law, and Eleanor his
widow, all of whom, except your orator, are prayed to be defendants of this
bill. He would futher show that his father at the time of his death was
possessed of a tract of land in Bourbon County, containing about 240 acres,
which descends equally to his children aforesaid & that no division thereof
has ever been made, Forasmuch as your orator, at common law & properly
receivable in equity, he prays that the defendants may answer the allegation
of this bill upon their corporal oaths as fully as if the same was here again
repeated by interrogatory & that your honor will decree that a division of
said land be made amongst the children of said James Prather, deceased, & that
dower be assigned said widow & grant such other further relief as to equity
belongs."

Notes:
She was living with her daughter Mary Ann (Prather) Hewitt in the 1850 census.
We are not sure of her last name, other researchers have stated her name as
Unk. I have often wondered if this was short for the word "Unknown" and
was misunderstood by someone reading the old records. G.B.Prather
Other reseachers have reported that her last name could have been Tharpe &
she had Indian in her blood line. I have found no documents that indicate her
last name or blood line. G.B.PratherChildren:
