    History of Bourbon, Scott, Harrison and Nicholas Counties, KY. 1882

    Benjamin W. Prather, farmer, P.O. Carlisle, was born in Bourbon Co., KY.
    Nov., 25 1815, to Benjamin and Priscilla (Willet) Prather, natives of
    Maryland. He (Benjamin) was born in 1783, died in April 1868.
    She (Priscilla) was born in 1788, died 1863.
    They were among the early settlers of Bourbon County. The result of their
    union was ten children, of whom the subject of this sketch was the oldest.
    He received a common school education in Nicholas County, and commenced his
    career in life as a farmer.
    He was married 20 Dec., 1838, to Miss Sarah E. Edwards, who was born to Robert
    and Frankie (Marshall) Edwards in Sept. 1820. They have two living children,
    viz: Ann, born 23 Apr. 1855, wife of John H. Renn of Bourbon County; Mary E.,
    born 25 Oct., 1860, wife of R. McClure; also, Priscilla and William,
    deceased, Mr. Prathr is one of the most energetic and enterprising farmers in
    the county. He has a farm of 210 acres of choice farm land, which "as a
    practical farmer" he keeps in a high state of cultivation, and in addition to
    growing the usual farm crops, makes a specialty of breeding high grade cattle.
    In 1879, he erected a large and beautiful residence, after his own design, and
    one of which he may well feel proud.
    Religiously, himself and family are connected with the Baptist Church.
    His political sympathies are with the Democrat Party.
