• Notes

  !I find George of Latton co.Wilts and Richard of Eaton Water,Wilts.Latton is a Parish,Eaton Water is a place.Visitation of Wilts 1623,when his daughter Dorothy m.George Provender,her last name is listed as Prowse or Precy or Prater of Latton. George Prater lived at Latton, Wiltshire which has been in existance sense before the Roman occupation of England. There are still old Roman ruins there today. I believe that George was the Reeve of Nunney, Somerset, working under his cousin Sir William Paulet. George later purchased the holdings of Nunney from his cousin in a tax deal, which kept the Manor of Nunney in the family. Nunney Castle was included in this transaction which was handled by a Jack Prater. We do not know how Jack is related to the family , it is possible that Jack was the "nick" name for John. This was a very common "nick" name that was used in those days. Records state that Nunney was purchased out of the estate of George's father John. George lived during the time that King Henry VIII created the Church of England and discontinued recognizing the Cathlic Church. This was a harsh time for the Praters, because they were Cathlic. Most of the christian world was Cathlic at this point in history. The Praters were taxed heavily for their religion, but because of their high social and politicial connections they continued to do well. Also they were related to many other noble and titled families. Records state that George died "enterstate". I believe that he died while working at Nunney. He was buried in his church at Latton, Wiltshire. His tomb is under the floor of the church in the 7th isle. People of this period in history believed that they would surely go to heaven if they were buried in the church. Only the wealthiest could afford a place in the church. This accounts for the records that I was forturate to find. *George Prater bought from Roger Yonge, in 1543, messuages and lands in Cryklade, Chelworth Magna, Chelworth parva and Coldcott for 190 marks. *George Prater bought from Michael Quintyne, Gentleman and Margaret his wife, in 1559, messuages in Lydyarde Treygoose and Cancourt for 430 marks. *George Prater was listed at Stanton St.Bernard Parish, Wiltshire with the highest assessment of taxpayers for the benevolence of 1545 of Swanborough Hundred. Spelling variations of his name found in the records: Prator, Praytor, Prater, Pretor, Preter, Praiter, Pratero, Pratellis. The records of England are probably the best in the world when it comes to early history. Especially if you are forturate enough to be descended from noblity. research by Gary Benton Prather !I find George of Latton co.Wilts and Richard of Eaton Water,Wilts.Latton is a Parish,Eaton Water is a place.Visitation of Wilts 1623,when his daughter Dorothy m.George Provender,her last name is listed as Prowse or Precy or Prater of Latton.
