• Notes

  !Lillard says he moved to Madison Co.KY.He is in AF as James Hunt Prather,AFN-JFFJ-D2 In his Will he named the children from his only marriage. It is generally thought that he came west to visit his sister who had married an officer who was later stationed at Fort Harrard and his cousin Capt. Basil Prather (who settled at Louisville,Ky.) was involved in land speculation in this area and John also came to establish claims for land. John was recorded as a Court Justice in Madison Co., Ky. 1810 & 1811. He was also involved in laying out the city boundry for other townships near Richmond, Ky. It is possible that his wife was a Quaker and John may have followed some of the Quaker beliefs but it is not known if he became a Quaker himself. His Will is found in Will Book # B, pp 13-14 and was Proved 3 Jan., 1814 by William Berry and Samuel Turner. (Madison Co., Ky.) He is referred to: John Prather, Esquire in the Circuit Court Minutes Book, 24 Apr.1811, Present "Honorable John Prather,Esq." He was also named as one of the members of the first Grand Jury held in the county, and he was named one of the Commissioners to lay out the plan for the Town of somerset (the county seat) 25 Feb.1801./ Notes by Judge forest of Garrard Co.,Ky./Deed book# D;115 Mad.Co.Ky/Deed bk#5;261 Rowan Co.,N.C. !Lillard says he moved to Madison Co.KY.He is in AF as James Hunt Prather,AFN-JFFJ-D2
