• Notes

  !from a Prather source he was b.abt 1480 at Eaton Water,Wilts. I believe that John Prater was a Reeve or other official who held his position under Sir Anthony Kingston. Sir Anthony Kingston was " Provost Marshall in the Field" (Cornwall) for the king of England. John Prater like others in the history of the family held a position in the judicuary. He may have been a Baliff or Reeve acting or "Holding" under Sir Anthony Kingston. In Johns wifes Will she stated that she had monies due her from Sir Anthony Kingston. These monies may have been an enheritance OR fees due her husband for services rendered. Spelling variations found in the records for his name: Prater, Pretor, Preter, Preiter, Prator. He owned acreage which bordered 3 shires including severial Manors. Some of these were Inglesham, Eaton Water, Hook, Stanton St. Bernard, Latton, and properties in Nunney, Oxford, etc. The family controled the woolin trade in that parrt of Enland,they owned all the major Wool Washing/Processing centers as well as controlling major grazing and thousands of head of Sheep. They held extremely powerful positions in the Kingdom.// Gary Benton Prather
